Scholar, where is that adorable quote from? I had never heard of cinquefoil until I started shopping for pollinator plants at the pollinator guy's plant sales.
Okay, now I get the property manager! So you guys will be landlords...I will hope for good tenants for you!

Diane, she tweaked the poem by changing one flower and therefore had to make some other changes for the rhyme. I will let her answer. Nice job, mylittlescholar! A sweet little wave of nostalgia here.

Ah, so it is probably from some famous children's book that I never read--I seem to have missed most of the children's literature that people talk about.

So...one of my squirrel friends ripped the screen on my back door! This squirrel jumped onto the screen of the door a few times, I guess because I put food out and she (my guess is "she") sees me come through the door? So I would yell no and clap my hands until she jumped down--I did not reward the screen jumping! Today I hear a loud scraping noise and I turn around, she's chewing a hole in the screen! So I yelled at her again and closed the door. When I came back and looked, there is a long rip in the screen... So I put the storm window up--I guess I'll be using the A/C more since I can no longer get air by leaving the door open. I can't just replace the screen, she'll do it again. Good thing I love squirrels... ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/DgxeVOHLVUttwZgGbxXm.gif) I don't blame her, it's kind of smart to realize that I have food and I'm in the house so she wants to go in too.
I wonder if there's a way to put heavy duty mesh over a screen door--I guess you'd have to put screws into the metal of the door, which isn't the best idea. I'll ask my handyman--maybe he'll be able to think of something.
I'm stopping for lunch.

I'm having trouble with my new printer, the quality isn't quite what it should be but cleaning the print heads isn't helping.

Now I'm going to do 10 minutes of cleaning something that hasn't been cleaned in a long time. I have plenty of places to choose from.

Is the printer Epson brand, by chance? I purchased and returned two because they wouldn’t print nicely.

bree that A and B thing is so infuriating. Either they are very dumb or actually evil (manipulative, transactional, antisocial). Possibly both. Dont drop your guard due to their youth. The poem was delightful and I can’t identify the original either, which hurts my ego a bit. Everyone’s lives are interesting. Squirrel drama! Should I give away my Coffee table? Or my table. Or both? I used to be happy when I had neither. Table using activities were inconvenient, though. I have a folding card table in the closet I could get out to use on occasion. I itch to switch the desk (in the living room) and the table (in the bedroom) but I should focus on the hall and the kitchen. I made more good progress yesterday, mostly in the bedroom. Which isn’t the priority for the possible judgemental visitors. I had trouble with clothing decisions. Why does it become existential? Ok let’s make a list. 🛑laundry 🛑the 2 big dead plants in living room. 🛑pick a surface in the hall and conquer it 🛑practice music

Good afternoon puppybox!
Is the printer Epson brand, by chance
Ugh-yes it is! I liked the idea of the Ecotanks. It prints black and white beautifully, and that's mostly what I use it for, but when I'm trying color there are lines across the pictures. I just printed a couple of things that look a lot better than when I first got it though--so I'm planning to print some more things and see if it keeps improving. I sure hope I don't have to return it.
I did do some cleaning for the cleaning challenge thread. I did keep it to 15 minutes, partly because it was hot downstairs and partly because I don't want to dread doing it.
Now I'm going to work on old paper for a while.

Milne is my very favorite author of children's literature (along with most of the rest of the English speaking world!) My dad read his poems to us so much we had a couple memorized.
I did not really get back to sleep. Started feeling quite anxious about going to class. Its 105*F/40.5*C out and the class location doesn't really get cooled off, as it is a big barn-shaped building. So I'm giving myself amnesty. So appreciative that AT is supportive of me taking care of myself.
Instead, we'll leave to pick up DMIL in an hour and go out to eat at an air conditioned pub. She doesn't have AC either.

Oh scholar, I can't imagine you guys without air conditioning in heat like that. Dinner in an air conditioned restaurant sounds like a good idea.
I only did 20 minutes of old paper, I ran into some old financial stuff of my sister's and 20 minutes was all I could do right now.
I will do one more list before dinner, and that will probably be all for today.
