bree … I don’t think they do. ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif) . They are very “go with the flow” and laid back people. So, they assume everyone else is too, I think. I don’t know? I often feel like I am from a different planet because I don’t understand anything other people do. Ha ha ha

So excited! My husband came home from work, and when he saw the progress, he was sooooooo happy and complimentary. He asked if there was anything he could do to help. I enlisted his help with the porch. I bought a 1950 s Formica table with two marigold yellow chairs and they look amazing out there now! Yayyyy!

Yay for helpful husbands, and yay for Friday end of workdays!
I just spent an hour writing two letters--one was a very long one to a friend. Now my eyes are tired from looking at the screen for so long, so I'm going to take a break. I still have 2 cards I definitely want to get into the mail in the morning, I'll do those later.

Good afternoon everypony!
what Lion said!
ugh hot. glad I did not go with DVD to his train-related activity. They drove through 114*F/45.5*C heat!
thanks, bree, we got a tiny AC via the no buy group and it definitely helps! we can sit under it on the bed. But the office gets hot. thank goodness for the drapes.
one of the plants we got may not survive. too hot! we put up a sheet for shade and it is looking a tiny bit better, but DVD said it might not really recover. its especially a bummer cause it's part of a symmetrical arrangement. I need to go out and check the soil, brb...

okay its wet enough and looks better than yesterday. Crossing my hooves! The mulch and corks help. One benefit of living in the wine country, we can get used corks for a song!
Can't remember if I said we are making a privacy screen with jasmine and thornless black berries. I wanted bamboo but DVD wants edible choices. I love the way jasmine smells and its evergreen.
I did not get any sleep last night, so napped from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
DONE: made bed got dressed removed polish and trimmed nails
updated log checked spreadsheet checked online balances checked email downloaded pics DVD brought home
need a break eyes are tired

Scholar, that heat sounds horrible. I'll try not to complain about my 95 degrees coming up over the next 4 days. (Okay, you know I will complain often about the 95 degree heat!)
My mail is all ready to go to the mailbox tomorrow morning. I can go early since I don't have to wait for the library to open.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow in the weekend thread.

Bree I love hearing about your puppy, you take such good care of her. Twinkle you are a machine Beast! And hoorah for Formica table. I have one not set up (legs aren’t on), but maybe someday. I wish it wasn’t yellow. Wish I could trade for a non yellow one. It’s a nice colour but not right for this space. I don’t have chairs for it.
Scholar hi! I forget what I was going to respond to you. Diane hi! Same as for Scholar. Short term memory is not the best!
Dogsit dog left and big dog arrived. He is a sweet baby in a wolf suit. He’s just here for a day and night to prepare him for his 3 week stay starting next week. The humans don’t want him to be shocked.
To avoid the area behind my couch, and the laundry, I will do 5 minute timed tidies/decluttered of various pieces of furniture.
I forgot about my laundry and then I have many dogs and it’s still up there rotting, as it’s hot today. Hopefully it doesn’t need rewashing. I don’t want to go up those stairs, there’s a lot. And the dog will be stressed.

🛑have not done laundry yet ✅I did return previous dog’s stuff (on a previous list) ✅gathered and bagged recycling ✅did decluttering on book case I’m hot and very moody. I think one reason I’ve been able to actually get going and keep going this time is I had a good visit with my Mom last month. (She visited nearby for a month). I desperately lack conversation and she didn’t drive me insane and act insane as she sometimes does. So it was good.
Maybe if I do the laundry it will help. But it will stress the dog. Also I have to put a top on hahaha to go in the hall.
TOPLESS DECLUTTERING, people. It’s the new thing.
Maybe the gratitude list will help too. I’ll Do that.

it must be a thing, we had topless gardening going on during the purge-a-thon!
I didn't have the spoons to do anything, but I didn't want to sleep all day, either. I did rest, at least. I've got two audible books going, and need to see about staring one for the next book group.
oh dear I hear a periodic beep from the RV outside the window. I guess it got unplugged when DVD was swapping out the hoses. It's a pain to get to as the holiday plywood is in the way.
DONE: started steaming the artichokes put dry dishes away did a couple sink fulls of dirty dishes turned dinner over to DVD

Oh, that's thoughtful of the owners. Did you manage to keep them outside for drop off?
Your laundry room is UPstairs? Instead of in a basement? That's unusual.
