Did the dining room floor twice including edges and it still needs doing again. The floors are a bigger job than I thought they’d be!

Deb, I sympathize with the sore back, I have the same thing, floors are very hard for me. Even if you do little bits at a time, it'll eventually get done! Maybe you can alternate with easier things.
I took a long reading break, and now my afternoon tiredness has kicked in. I will try for a couple more lists, though.
Next:
Wash some dishes Make some book notes Measure both kitchen sink drains Delete 10 hard emails

Good afternoon scholar! I have never been interested in the Olympics but my shopping friend loves them and watches every minute she can, so I'm sure I'll hear all about them. I'm grateful for them being on now, it will give her something to look forward to watching.

Scholar, consider watching CBC. Everyone is saying NBC coverage is terrible.

way to go on the floors 123jake funny about the olympics. I don't really want to watch the opening ceremonies but I feel a compulsion to! I do like to see the home team march in the parade! so...I have been rather industrious I washed the chairs and set them out back, set up the table and the umbrella emptied the garage for the most part rinsed off the items that were in the garage swept garage floor rinsed off garage walls and floor now everything is drying. once it is dry enough, I'll put it together. my kitchen is kind of a mess now - -some of the stuff in the garage is just there due to DD being home from college, but I need to move it out so people will have room to move when I have a gathering in a couple weeks. So that is in my kitchen, soon to go to the basement. this was about three hours of work so far! so with that and the house washing work, I might be snoozing through the opening ceremonies!

I am a hot sweaty mess but I finished my garage! swept floor moved all the freshly washed stuff back in tossed a bag of miscellaneous trash from clean out
the carpet that I have in there was still wet so I dragged it to the deck to dry off moved the DD college stuff from garage to basement started a load of laundry of beach towels that were in garage
I also had cleaned out under my sink for the plumber and stuck that stuff in two bags in the garage so I also put that back under the sink.
so...that was about one hour of work dragging it all back together
one gross thing - I had rinsed out a cooler and had it drying on the grass with the lid on grass. when I went to put it back, there about half a dozen slugs on the lid. oh my. squeamish me. shudder. put it on driveway with lid near but not on grass, giving slugs a chance to escape. did not know there were slugs lurking everywhere!
I sent DD on an errand and to pick up puppy from daycare.
I am prob set to fall asleep watching Olympic next!

Bree, I remember you doing that garage cleanout before and being so impressed that you do such a big job on a regular basis!
When I was on the first floor after getting my laundry I decided to go outside and fill up some bottles from the rain barrel. I was standing there filling the bottles when I saw something larger than a bee flying towards me. It hovered and quickly checked out 2 plants and then was gone, before I got a good look. However, I am 99% sure I saw my very first sphinx moth! I was so excited--I have seen photos of these for 3 years and never saw one in person. I saw it so quickly that I couldn't hold the picture of it in my mind but my impression was that I saw 2 yellow stripes. Sure enough, I just looked it up and there is a "Nessus Sphinx Moth" that has 2 yellow stripes!! ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/Dw179BIkgAcWuRwk1oBK.gif) I will have to check out their favorite plants and see if I can add something they like next year.
I'm eating dinner and watching cable news. I am now watching it regularly again after a few weeks of not turning it on at all...
After I eat I have to package and put away the brown rice, and then I will get ready for bed.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!
Diane

Evening all! You might remember my plans to get lots of laundry done yesterday? Well our machine is no longer working! We eventually managed to rescue the contents of the load that was in it, but we are going to have to call someone out. We can't even get the filter cap off to check that. Needless to say, the surroundings are in uproar as a result. Fingers crossed it's a quick, easy and cheap fix.
Done: Emptied dishwasher Changed towels kitchen Cleaned up spill bathroom floor Threw out some expired food Handled mail Helped boyfriend de-ice freezer Emptied washing machine of the laundry that was in it Cleared air dryer PEEPed kitchen Achieved floor clothes zero Achieved coffee table zero
