At 8:00 there was another possible rain coming and since it was cloudy, it wasn't hot yet. So I took my drill out and staked up 6 plants. It did rain a little more, so yay! If it stays cloudy for a while maybe it won't get as hot as they say.
Now I have to call my decluttering client.

Drove around yesterday looking for garage sales - to buy supplies for arts and craft projects at the ALF. No luck. I did pick up a free bag of partially burnt big pillar candles which I dropped off for a friend who uses them for a specific project. My sister and I sat with my mom and divvied up some of her jewelry. I have my grandmothers (or great grandmothers - I better clarify) ring and it is beautiful, very art deco'y.
I ordered a shelf for my dad. We assembled it and put it in his room. We are now able to display some pictures and things. it was the perfect size (well, I would have wanted it to be a shelf taller but it is ok). I fed my dad his dinner last night and my dad said I always do well but I feed him too fast! It was pretty gross and I was trying to get it over with. But he is talking so much more! This new facility has been wonderful so far. He is always up and in his chair and he is so much more engaged. He even sits op straighter! And talking more!
I have packed up three bags of clothing and brought it to my mom for her friend to pick up and donate. I do this to make sure her friend visits her as I could really donate it anywhere. I have to more bags that my DD and I will ty to sell while she is on maternity leave. Yup, those new with tag items.... So that is technically 5 bags gone. And plenty more to go. I have a rack that runs along the side wall - not quite the length of the small bedroom. I am only allowing myself to keep what fits on the rack with possibly the exception of a few dressy outfits and a few very specific christmas outfits.
There is a new eatery in town. Not a fancy place but a step up from macdonalds. it is a barbecue place and we are almost close enough to smell it cooking. We went last night and THEY HAD RUN OUT OF FOOD!! They ar new and just learning what menu items are hits and how much food to prepare. They dont want to be throwing away food at the end of the day either. We will try again.
We then drove to find a local Festa. We have many italian neighborhoods in the area and I thought a local church was having their festa. I was wrong. It was a spaghetti dinner to raise money for their fall festa and we missed the dinner.
Then I come home to find out DS and his GF are in the midst of a big fight. I kept telling my son I did not want to get in the middle of it. I hope they get some counseling.
My dishwasher is giving me some issues. So everytime I am in the kitchen - I pull a few things out and hand wash them. Especially the silver ware as they were running low.
OK - I am stalling and I had better get moving and get something done. other than watching a movie.....

Good morning ohblondie! Excellent that you're happy with your dad's new home, it sounds like they enough staff to care for the residents.
I've been doing some PEEPing and paperwork, so for I've taken 2 reading breaks already today. Since it was cloudy until just a little while ago the temp is only 80, so I'm hoping we never reach the forecast 94 degrees, but I guess there's still time.
More rain most likely coming tonight, and maybe tomorrow too. I'm happy with the rain, I just hope there's not so much that there's flooding. If only it could be more evenly distributed across the summer.

My shopping friend called again, today she sounds less depressed but still not ready to try to do anything.
I was just about to put the air conditioner on when she called so now it's 86 degrees in here-ugh. And I still have to eat lunch.

Good morning everypony!
I think DVD is the same type, bree. Me I'm craving to have days in a row without going outside.
I'm still groggy from the benadryl I took last night. Don't want to think about my list.
DONE: updated log updated spreadsheet checked online balances checked email
~~~
I typed this up yesterday morning and forgot to send it. which means I haven't read the latest either.
I am so stressed. I just broke down crying last night. If I was healthy I wouldn't be so worried about handling what I need to handle. And yesterday's events just put me over the edge. DVD comforted me and wants to take stuff off my plate. It was lovely to wake up to a clean kitchen!
BUT he got an email from his apparently sociopathic brother who expects to move in with their mom at the end of the month and toss out a bunch of stuff in the house. We have been supporting her in setting boundaries--she is scared of him.
So instead of a day off, I need to get it together so we can go talk with her. She has said I have been very helpful in the past. But to quote Pelosi, she needs to make a decision--and soon!

Oh no scholar, family drama, and it sounds potentially bad. I hope you guys can deal with sociopathic guy.
Once the sun came out it got hot and humid, but I think it only went up to 90, so the early morning cloudiness helped. Tomorrow is supposed to be 95 with feels like up to 107. After that, Tuesday won't get over 90, followed by a few more comfortable days.
I feel like I've wasted a lot of time over the last 2 days so I went downstairs and made my work in the work room. There are still a few things in there that will eventually be dealt with, but I'm happy with the way it looks so I'm finally saying the work room is done. That means the whole house is back to baseline!
I will try hard to keep things uncluttered, and that means the next thing to do is clean. ![:|](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/euQT8EMqoSShDIckjvzr.png) But not today, and maybe not tomorrow if it'll be as uncomfortable as they say it will be.
I have to think about dinner now.

I was feeling lonely but all your families and friends stressed me out to read about, ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif) . I’ll be grateful for peace and quiet. I did nothing deaqualoring yesterday because i worked and then was just too hot and then I went to the bulldogs house. I am allergic to the laundry product scents in the sheets but I managed to sleep. However today I had an allergic reaction to the smell of fruit which only happens to me as badly as it did if I’ve been weakened by exposure to something else. Mind you I can eat the fruit, just not smell it. We all live in a flesh prison of one sort of another. I’m going to do my exercises when I get home (to bulldog ‘s) because at least that’s something you can control. I went to my house (apartment) today to shower and change clothes and it was a field trip for the dog. I practiced music. Maybe I’ll go again tonight JUST to attack one defined area. That would be so good. But I have to go feed the dog first.

Okay, that is weird. I know several people with allergies but have never known anyone to be allergic to the smell of fruit. How can you even go to the grocery store? Do you avoid the produce section?
Time to get ready for bed. Just one more super hot day to get through...
Good night, see you tomorrow in the weekday thread!

Another hot and sticky day I hit some garage sales and got some flowers and some plastic ball ornaments for an ALF craft. I meant to buy some pinecones but forgot them.
i made a small salad for lunch and brought it to nursing home and ate there, i also brought my dad some ice cream and made my sister feed him for once. my dad was more talkative {for him}. not sure if it was the new setting or that both of his girls were there, but he had us laughing.
i brought my mom home then i went home and fell asleep. DS and GF went to a nearby lake with her DD and DD's friend. They relaxed and cooled down. We went over for pizza and to drop off some tickets I had for them. They are leaving on vacation and I told them both to take time to relax and have fun.
Came home and sorted and matched socks and folded and put away underwear. I have ben washing dishes here and there and putting them away. I have many projects going on at once and I need to wrap some up.
I also want to wash my vinyl fence, it has some green on it Order covers for the plastic wicker furniture Empty out my car AGAIN!!
