Good morning!

I have an appointment to meet a fella to buy cabinet doors!  I am missing a 15" cabinet for the remodel. Even when I buy a cabinet, matching the doors to mine is going to be difficult.  This fella had EXACTLY what I needed for $5!  Score!  I've been looking for over a year.

Coffee
Reserve a couple books
Water new grass.
Bible with kiddos
Plant ditch lilies
Plant patch of dead grass with seed, rake, water
ACT prep with DD
Paperwork/Bills
Send out AHG invite via email
Going to be HOT today - so no outdoor stuff later.

Good morning!

Kelly, I love ditch lilies! The road I grew up on was lined with them, and we have a patch of them at our house now. We called them tigerlilies when I was a kid.

It is going to be hot here today, too. Took a shower, went outside to doctor Smokey's eye, and immediately got covered in sweat again - ugh!

• office work - bills and end of July things
• vacuum! desperately needed
• take care of Smokey's eye - he rubbed it during the night and messed up some of the stitches, so I was on the phone with the vet first thing this morning *sigh*
• make salad dressing
• other kitchen things - cutting up produce, mostly
• empty garbage cans
• laundry - several loads, lots of towels
• dinner: the kung pao noodles I didn't make last night (we ended up grilling instead) - & cashew cream cheese wontons, too

[math teacher]

Good morning everyone. Today's plan:

Work in classroom

Mail/shred

Deep clean in kitchen

Pick up groceries

Dinner- pepperoni spaghetti

Make more blue cheese dressing for the 9 salads I made yesterday

Read/work on tech stuff

Clean the floors

My sleep woes continue.  I took pain meds before last night in a desperate attempt to keep from waking up at 2:30 in pain (as has been my habit for the last week or more).  The pain meds helped me to sleep until 3 pm.  Sigh.  Then I was awake for two and a half hours before I could get back to sleep! 

logged fasting bloodsugars

got Neko out of his bathroom and discovered that he had thrown up all over the bathroom floor that I had just mopped yesterday.  Double sigh. 

fed Neko and Juliet.  Locked Neko in the bathroom for awhile to make sure that his tummy was behaving.

fed myself

got on the phone with the CPap people to describe the hose/mask coupler that I am missing.  I am supposed to pick up a new hose this morning.  They don't just sell the coupler but I can't find the one I put aside anywhere and I have looked and looked and looked.  (I think that the bunnies sold it on Ebay)

medicated myself

medicated Juliet

I am going to skip my PT exercises this morning and go right to a shower, dressing, brushing teeth, get out the door to get the CPap part. 

[Selkie]

Swept the main floor and one set of steps

Working away on laundry - load #3 is just started

Cleaned a bathroom

Tidied up my desk a bit, but haven't done any actual work yet...

Had two of the chili peppers from my garden with lunch and they are super duper hot!! Trying to allow my mouth to recover before I go out and do horse chores.

 

 

[Jean in Newcastle]

Ok - I did mop the cat's bathroom because I realized that that needed to be done still.

Now I"m leaving to pick up the part.

[Selkie]

Happy Birthday, Margaret!! 🌼

[Selkie]

Done with horse chores. I hurried because it is so dang hot.

Now I need to swat some flies before I do anything else.

[Jean in Newcastle]

 I just went to the CPap supply place because I couldn't get my new mask to fit my old hose. Turns out that there was a part that I had to take off to make it work with this one. What's crazy is that it used to require a part to be added - a part which I have now lost. Whatever. I am just glad that I can now use my old style mask again. In the interim I had used a different design that they gave me to try and it was a bad fit for me. 

[Jean in Newcastle]

I finally figured out how to fold out the futon sofa thing that I  haven't used in probably ten years. 

I stripped the futon sofa thing of it's cover and have it and some other things in the washing machine.

[Selkie]

Swept upstairs

Cleaned my bathroom

Emptied garbage cans

Did a little work in the kitchen - fruit and veggie prep

Cleaned the kitchen

Talked to the (dog) vet - Thor is still having some digestive system issues and we've done all kinds of tests and can't find a reason. Am going to try switching his food and adding probiotics.

[ScoutTN]

Done:

Long drive home! 

Unpacked.

Called mom.

Visited with a neighbor.

Read the mail. 

Prepped for tomorrow. 

Ate dinner and took medication. 

Going to bed now! 

 

 

[Jean in Newcastle]

Put wet clothes in the dryer

Tacked up blanket as a "curtain" in the room where ds will be staying.

did sleep diary (day 4)

some camp back and forth with board members.  Trying to explain to some why I don't agree with them on an issue.  Nothing hugely important but trying to communicate clearly because it's not totally non-important either.

Me too! We dug them up out at my mom and dad's because they have this odd double blossom I've never seen before.  Googled - turns out it's a mosaic virus? It spreads.  Debating whether or not to plant......
