I'm eating dinner, and feeling tired already because I woke up so early this morning. I kind of considered going to Aldi tomorrow morning but they keep raising the high temp, now it's 85--and Aldi doesn't open til 8:30 so I would be walking home at 9:30 and the sun will already be very hot. It does feel good to not HAVE to go, it looks like Thursday or Friday morning might work, or, I can just use Walmart delivery. Or, eat up more of what I have in the house...
I think I'll be in bed early tonight.

The bin I brought upstairs was to replace a messy cardboard box that is under my desk, that holds the magazines and catalogues that I want to read before getting rid of. Transferring stuff into the nice clean bin made me realize that I have to make this a priority--I need to read this stuff and if I'm not ready to read it I have to get rid of it. Tomorrow I will go through everything and see what I can immediately get rid of, and then I have to go through at least one thing every day. The magazine subscriptions have all lapsed so they will not be replenished, but the catalogues will continue to come in forever...so I have to get control of this old stuff.
But now it's time to get ready for bed--good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

Hi all! I got back from my vacation last night, so I'm still somewhat sleeping off the travel, but I had to get some things done today. Boyfriend had arranged for a guy to come and fix our oven. It's not been working right for 18 months, so I'm pleased that it's finally done! No dining table zero, as the old oven parts are sitting on top of it, though at least I had boyfriend put down some cardboard first.
Done: Watered plants Dusted living room Dusted kitchen Dusted entrance way Wiped down kitchen cupboards Wiped down kitchen worktops Wiped down stove Swept corners of kitchen floor Cleaned toilet Quick PUPA living room Load of laundry Meal planned and ordered groceries Achieve floor clothes zero Achieve coffee table zero Vacuumed kitchen Laundry from machine to dryer Load of laundry 2 Laundry from machine to dryer 2 Quick PUPA kitchen worktops Handled mail
Tomorrow: Empty living room trash Empty bathroom trash Ideally another load of laundry from vacation

Reve: Welcome back! Your list made me tired!!!
Desposito: There was fraud on my bank account and I don’t have two pieces of ID to get it unfrozen. I’ve been making calls and trying to solve the problem today. I will have to make some more calls tomorrow. I hope to be on here by noon tomorrow (pacific time! I did order a replacement birth certificate a year ago (after a security guard cut it up) but I haven’t received it yet. I will call Ontario in the morning.

Hi reve! I agree, that's a long "done" list for being tired after a trip.
Deb, I went through not having enough ID for something in the past, it's a nightmare. It's good to make that a priority and get it cleared up, I hope you can do it without too much hassle.
I had really good sleep last night so I'm grateful for that. I did my yard session and then went to the mailbox so a birthday card would get there on time. It's already warm outside, so I'm glad I didn't try to go shopping.
I'm very happy with what I got done yesterday, hopefully today will be productive too.

I had a huge long list and got so much do e yesterday.
Today I am convinced the fridge is not working right and not keeping things cold. I just had a bite of potato salad and it tingled my tongue and tasted off. DH said it is set at the correct temp (it is) so it must be working. His logic (?) dumfounds me at times. the temp you see when you open the door is the temp it is set at and not the temp it necessarily is. Off to get a thermometer to test it

Good morning ohblondie!
it is set at the correct temp (it is) so it must be working
I am finding that the part of my lists that takes the most time is deleting emails! That's because the total number is going down and I've deleted all the easy ones and I'm left with really hard ones--like the Goodreads monthly emails that shows a hundred or so book possibilities and requires me to go through each one...
Next:
10 minutes on magazine box Do a clerical task for my decluttering client Start dishes soaking Delete 10 hard emails

Yup Yup Yup I'm right. I will not say I told you so. The temp in the fridge, according to the thermometer I just bought, is 60. I just filled one bag of spoiled food. Going in for round two soon. Washed a load this am - just hung it out to dry I will pop in DS's jeans before I go to bed Running the dishwasher now - hopefully that will work - it has been giving me problems
Brought the grandbaby to the ALF to meet her great grandmother. Oh my mom was gaga over her! she fed the baby and burped her. We then went to see my dad and he said we could keep her! He held her like the champion he is. He is a retired minister and has baptized more babies than you can count!
I had a DR's appointment today. the fire alarm went off toward the end of the appt. It took 10 mins for the fire trucks to arrive and they are right next door to the dr's office building. It wasnt a drill so we all had to evacuate. Thank goodness this wasnt an appointment where I had a hospital gown on!
ok = time to get back to the kitchen - looks like I am calling a repair person.

4 bags and the fridge is empty. Taking a break and then I will attack the freezer. Sunday I dumped a cup of coffee on my keyboard. Fortunately that seems to have but a few consequences. Hopefully the fridge will bounce back. Once my phone charges I am going to call customer service and see if there are any tips pr tricks to try and troubleshoot and fix it myself. Maybe it needs to e turned off then back on - like my laptop!

I will not say I told you so.
Ha ha--I think you should! Wow, 60 is warm, good thing you didn't keep eating things from there. I hope you can get a repair done quickly.
My shopping friend called, so we had another long conversation. She sounds better today, I think the interesting political news has distracted her from her problems. Tomorrow she has a telephone conference where all of her "care team" gives updates on her progress and she says these calls always depress her, so her next call might not be as good as the one today.
I did get my magazine box organized and I have 21 magazines that I can get rid of just from a cursory glance. There are more that I have to look through more carefully, and lots of catalogues, but I'm determined to go through them at least one a day.
I'm going to get one more list in and it'll be time for dinner.
Next:
10 minutes PEEPing 10 minutes on paper Consolidate library lists Delete 10 hard emails

I've been watching the radar because there's a slight chance of rain and if it looks like we'll really have some then I have to clean the seed pool and keep the windows closed overnight, but it's not clear. Time to get ready for bed soon so I guess I have to assume there will be rain and act accordingly.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

So - sometimes I just want to scream!! I emptied everything out of the fridge and wiped it down. The mess was minimal but it still needed to be wiped down. I kept some non perishable things and picked up all the random bottles of water and put them in the fridge. More of a get them out of the way move. DH wanted to go get something to eat, ok. I forced him to come downstairs and help me deal with the freezer before we left. Everything in the freezer was rock solid We opened the fridge and then temp was down to 50 We left and came home and it wa down to 42. At the store I purchased some non-dairly shelf stable creamers for the am coffee
I will wait a bit before I get groceries
All of the youtube videos I watched pretty much said to unplug, wait 5 mins, and plug back in. So I was going to do that first.
so I am going to proceed cautiously.
DSs jeans are washing. I will get them in the dryaer tonight or first thing in the am
I got two bags out to DD. She picked through them and I will donate what she does not want
Gotta keep [;ugging awwway
And I cannot let this miracle stop me from finishing the kitchen
