TwinkleToes I can relate to the jewelry cleanup. I once was going through my jewelry and realized it could take me weeks probably to do it all, so I just bought a pretty decorative box and put a lot of it in there and shut the lid, figuring I can get to it at some other time as I have more pressing issues. I did manage to get some work done this afternoon. Heard bad news on one project- it is out of my control, but it sure throws a wrench in that project and will have to go back to square one …very disappointing. I did update a colleague on some bad news on another project; I wanted to make sure to get the news out there quickly, so we could figure out a solution I kept reminding myself today that I am glad to be alive and I’m glad to have this day because it had some challenges in it, but I am glad to be here right now. I am in a parking lot -DD is off walking puppy. My knee is bothering me a bit. I really used it a lot over the weekend. I have never done the spoons thing because I think that’s for people with challenges that are physical and now I guess I have one a little bit because now I have to think about my knee and think what I want to save it for- for example at work I’m using the elevator a lot now because I’d rather not use my knee on the stairs if I can avoid it -wanna save my knee for things like walking puppy Came home from work on time and cooked dinner. We had some leftovers, but I also had some new items from my grocery shopping of late. That’s been paying off to have a well stocked kitchen. I did all the dishes too. When DD gets back with puppy, I will take puppy to the fountain for a quick dip and then go home and I should probably do a bunch of things, but it’s gonna be late and I can see me just reading my book

I walked a good amount of dogs. I practiced a little but I stopped because it was late. Cat’s humans came home.
Bree it was funny to hear about puppy playing with croc. They do look like dog toys!
I haven’t read all the comments I am tired.
I’m not going to do anything domestic today.
See you tomorrow

Good morning!
I didn't quite make it to an hour in the yard today, we have the very high humidity again and I could feel it affect my breathing. The good news is that we are now "likely" to get some rain from the remnants of Beryl, so I guess the humidity will stick around during that. I brought the yard waste can outside the gate so I can bring it to the street later, it's full to the top because I finished cutting up all the branches. The rest of the time was spent weeding and pruning back the big plants, like the pokeweed. I also found a fourth Datura plant, only about a foot high. The velvetleaf plants are very tall now so they're hiding some of the smaller plants, I'll probably pull them out before their seed pods open up, at least some of them. I just think they're pretty. The lambs quarters don't seem to be growing as fast as in previous years, I want those to grow so the birds can eat the seeds in the fall.
After breakfast I will start laundry so it's done before the rain starts.

Tuesday!!! It is hot here too Diane andit looks like it could rain, but none is forecast
I am in a really ugly parking lot in an ugly industrial area eating my lunch. This area actually gets quite a few people eating their lunch because it’s near different restaurants and it’s just this weird little parking lot stuck in the middle.
Did not sleep well last night- I was up at two in the morning watching TV -finally fell asleep. Probably could nap right now!
this morning, I did the usuals -fed the animals, put away clean dishes . Packed lunches headed out to work.
Work is OK. There are some real challenges with the projects, but all we can do is deal with them. My bad vendor is continuing their badness. They were very over late on a project. I think they totally forgot about it. Finally got it and it’s really low quality like they slapped it together in five minutes. I asked some questions and got nonsensical answers- finally said this is not acceptable, I really do want to end out contract. It might take a year to do it because of various things.
I had mentioned in the thread once about my neighbor who lives behind me -they have a chain-link fence that I use because my wood fence 2was storm damaged and wore out. part of the chain-link fence had a double chain-link panel and in between weeds grew wildly -they were weeds in their yard. I couldn’t really get to them, but it was ugly.
they have removed the double fence and all the weeds were cut down and it looked so much better. I came home yesterday and they had put up black canvas on that part if the fence. it’s not the best look, looks kind of cheap to me I don’t know if they’re planning to do the whole fence or just that piece of it. That is the area where puppy uses as her bathroom so maybe they just got tired of seeing puppy do her thing! It’s good to have the weeds gone, but the black canvas looks kind of cheap. Oh well.
I have a couple meetings this afternoon. Want that nap!!! Had a chaos meeting earlier. She moved it three times. So typical
Hoping to be productive this afternoon and also to call the plumber to make an appointment for my slow draining tub.

Good morning bree! I hope you get through the day with no more chaos meetings.
Since I always complain about customer service, I wanted to praise something good. Remember my bad Walmart order, with the out of stock things, then the late delivery, then more items missing from the order? They sent me a survey after that order (they seem to send a survey after most orders or store visits) and I filled it out honestly and detailed the issues. Well, today I got an email with a $15 credit code, and an apology! I guess they really want to keep their Walmart Plus customers! It was good service on their part, it immediately made me feel better about them that someone acknowledged the problems and gave me something tangible to apologize. I sent back a thank you, and said I understand items being out of stock and even having trouble scheduling delivery people, it was the missing items from the order that was what really annoyed me, since that puts the burden on me to then find their chat option (something that they don't always let you access right away) to ask for the refund. But that was a nice surprise.

My shopping friend did call. We did get some rain--not a lot, but more than a little drizzle. There's more predicted for overnight.
Now it's time for dinner and that will be all for tonight.
Good night, see you in the morning!

Happy productive day, more or less, to everyone. Woke up exhausted. Had easy workday, fortunately.
Had violin lesson. Finally I have some energy and it’s a bit cooler now. I don’t know what to do. Not dishes, my legs hurt.
Plant clutter Stack puzzles Other stuff on living room floor
That’s a plan then, go! Wait, need music to energize tasks

Didn’t find music but I did get a huge hunk of miscellaneous stuff done which is always hard because it’s the kind of things I tune out. I put Buffy the vampire slayer on in background. Well actually on phone and then I have earbuds in. I don’t have any other functioning screens at the moment.
What a mess, though, still. It’s too bad I can’t go faster but it would be upsetting to throw away things Willy nilly.
I got rid of a lot of small random junky things and plant paraphernalia
