Good morning!
I did a yard session already and it doesn't feel any better than yesterday, because the humidity is still high, but that's supposed to get better as the day goes on. I got one more bucket of weeds from the back into the yard waste can before they picked it up, and I trimmed some things in the front too. Tomorrow is the coolest day of the week so if all goes well, I will mow tomorrow morning.
Today I need to do houseplant care and keep working on my desk. I have kept up with decluttering.

I just remembered that I have to go to the library by tomorrow, and now I'm planning to mow tomorrow. So I guess I have to go to the library now.

I'm back from the library, it still feels hot outside. It was crowded there because I went later, plus there was a kids' program going on, so unusual to see lots of people there.

Well I’m back from the bulldog’s house. Didn’t get anything done here while I was there, even though I stopped by to shower and change every day. It’s been hot. Congratulations ohblondie! I have one night to myself but it’s already late and I have 4 things to do. 1)grocery shop 2)access freezer and then assess it and deal with it. I hope it’s not full of crap. I have a vague memory of mostly clearing it out the last time i did anything with it. Was this a plan or Did I do it? 3)need to find passport for ID (I don’t drive) 4)see what I need to do for the emails I have to put in mail mail What I have done is play the violin. Oh, there was a ukelele at the bulldogs house so I taught myself beginner ukelele. It is much easier than violin. Shaving my legs would be a nice treat if I have time And energy

Diane my Allergies are not that severe. I won’t go into shock and die. It’s like being allergic to cats. They’re also cumulative. I was reacting to fruit because I had been sleeping on sheets washed in scented detergent which weakened me. Before I was medicated, in high school, I took the metro (subway) home and if someone was peeling an orange I would get very allergic. At school too, but the lunch room was bigger than a metro car. It’s like a video game, I have a heath/life bar. And every encounter with a trigger whacks it lower. Having enough sleep, eating regularly, especially eating plenty of protein, helps. As does steroid medication and daily antihistamines.
But I have always, since a small child, avoided the laundry detergent etc aisle at the supermarket. I can’t go down that aisle. Before medication I had to hold my breath and run past the ends of it. Fabric softener is like mustard gas to me. Technically that allergy is a chemical sensitivity not a literal allergy. But try telling people it’s something you’re sensitive to and see if they respect that- they do not. I have literal allergies too and it’s a very similar experience.

I have had a long day! I should be sound asleep
it has been a busy one -- work is super busy, I am getting stuff done but there is so much! we told bad vendor that we are unhappy w their work today. awkward meeting but had to be done. they turned some projects along but still have not moved on others. sigh.
I chipped away at several things, making progress but feels like teaspoons in an ocean sometimes!
on the way home from work, stopped at grocery store to get some things for dinner came home, prepared meal, cleaned litter took out trash did dishes several games of fetch we took puppy for a walk took out trash and took bin to curb at about 8:45 pm I was "free" for the first time in that I could just sit on couch and not do anything! but puppy then kept bringing her slobbery ball to me to throw...
I have been working on this financial form, had an error that I sought help for today and figured out, so I worked on forms tonight related to DD college stuff. I had to fill out this form which required information from tax forms - which were online. so it was a long torturous thing of finding our old forms, resetting passwords, having verification codes and verification emails sent, and then the form froze several times and I had to start agian ugh. what seemed like it would take 15 minutes took over 1.5 hours and I am just so stressed out from the verification tediousness!!! but! it is DONE!! big victory. it has been on my to do list for awhile
so it has been a long day with very little time to just be
now I should be sound asleep as i have to get up in 5.5 hours. I have two tough meetings to kick off the day.
feeling rather worn out!! two cool things - on the puppy walk, I did a little bit w DD and puppy then I returned to car and they continued. while sitting quietly in car a young doe came very close to graze - she was not aware I was in car, then our eyes met! I tried to let her know all was well. then a fox appeared and was rapidly running towards where DD and puppy were in general vacinity. I texted DD watch out for fox - worried puppy would go totally wild -- so I started car to head to them. suddenlly I saw fox turn around and run as fast as possible away so I think he/she saw puppy. starting the car caused deer to sprint off. gathered up DD and puppy and came home - it was after the sun had set so the last light moments of the day.
gnite all

Ok back home, been nice spending the night in a relatively clear house (parents have been doing clear outs themselves the last few months) Cooled down now after a rare hot day... Got house insurance paid when I got back, and arranged for the initial training for my new job😁💃. Aqua class to relax before the night, Guess there'll be two hours free to work on the house after getting some dinner down my neck first.

I'm working on email deletion and I found a quote that fits this group (and me) perfectly. "I have come to the conclusion that buying craft supplies and actually using them are 2 separate hobbies." Just substitute "stationery supplies" or "books" for crafts and that is me.
Amazon is weird sometimes. During their recent Prime day I bought 2 large bags of potting soil because it was a very good price. Delivery was supposed to be next Wednesday. They were just delivered today, 6 days early. Of course, that would have to happen with something I don't need yet, instead of something I was desperately wanting to arrive. But, that's okay.
Now that the sun is no longer shining on the back porch I opened the door and there's a nice breeze coming in. I put clear tape over the big squirrel tear in the screen--it won't keep the squirrel out, but it will keep bugs out--I just have to hang around the door and make sure the squirrel doesn't jump onto the screen again.

Vacuum something Start a load of laundry Wash more dishes Delete 50 emails
