Kitty, the white desk top is an interesting choice. Maybe it will have its advantages as well?
Enjoy walking with a friend L Ann.
You are a very kind and generous friend, Gma. I hope your friend is doing well.
Sleep well, Doggedly.
I hope you get that non-hurried non-scheduled day today Lauralind!

This is our last day here. I'm up early for me - it's 7:10 West Coast time, and I've been up for a good 30 minutes. Dh and I are going out for a jog in about 20 minutes.Then the plan is to go to the county fair at 10:30. After that, I'll have a late lunch, do some laundry, and go to a coffee shop for a while. Dd29 is cooking tonight - fried rice and maybe bok choy. We'll also need to pack tonight; we're leaving the house at 7:30 tomorrow morning.

We've lost our endless sunshine. It is gray and cloudy right now, but it's not supposed to rain.

Next:
- gather things
- maybe back exercises?
- drop girls off at a coffee shop

Later:
- jog
- s2s and self care
- back exercises if not done earlier
- buy parking pass for the fair
- 10:30 - 2-ish with driving time - visit the fair!
- make the bed
- lunch
- laundry
- some qt - this has gotten lost in the vacation schedule
- coffee shop with dh and girls
- do we need anything from the grocery store?
- dinner: fried rice and veggie
- after dinner clean up
- duo
- update health apps
- pack; set up electronics to charge over night

TaDas!
- up; dressed to jog
- charging earbuds + running watch
- email deletions + weather website

Kittykatt, I also chose a table with a white top. It got taken over by work equipment. Now that I have taken up the table-wide mouse pad, I am seeing black marks from it. After I have finished with the equipment, I will have to look into removing those. All suggestions welcome.

I am loving the non-working days, Lauralind. The biggest thing is the relief from the pressure to get everything done on those days because of the looming work days ahead. I wish this peace for everyone.
I'm sure that you will be working to help out when you visit your dchildren, but it might still be a relief that you can just focus on the task at hand and not have to worry about organizing all of the remaining tasks as you do at home.

A county fair sounds fun, helia, especially as your travel companions are old enough to spend some quiet time admiring the sheep and calves, as a break from the noise and excitement of the midway.


Friday
Cleaned up after dog
Started clearing off table to make room to pack monitor
Immediately went into allergy . Could not put on mask to protect from dust because nose was running non-stop and I was coughing up.
Took one of Germane’s Benedryls.
Gave Germane a treat and her half-Benedryl
After about 20 minutes, allergic reactions had died down enough that I could put on the mask.
Dusted things on the table
Unplugged work equipment from power
Removed the big mousepad
Detailed dusting of monitor/cords/stand

I think I'm going to start at the far end of the house and casually work this way. I have this feeling it's going to be ds and ddil house sitting. Why does life have to be so expensive? He just ended up with some expensive dental work. And it just seems they can't quite get a break. She can't work cause of the baby. And now it looks like they were going to come to Alberta for a bit and then her family reunion but they can't afford him taking time off. Means they will be home instead. Id still rather find someone else. Instead of trying them down.

But if I start at dd room... it's easy and that makes a place for someone to stay.




Other weekend priorities

Bedding washed
Beds switched
Thorough cleaning master bedroom
Whb
Finish weeding greenhouse at dad's
Hill potatoes
Some groceries
Figure out for sure house sitter for next week
Tidy up dd room if we have someone come stay

Finish qt
Switch laundry to dry

The theme is making me crave cucumber sandwiches. I don't do fish, but the idea of a ~~~cooling~~~ small sandwich with the kick of cream cheese is appealing. I think I saw Mary Berry do these once.

[Doggedly]

How did I miss L.Ann? Have a good time at the library.

That sounds like a good plan, Lauralind. It will give you flexibility in whatever you decide.

Hi, Peaches and Harriet.

That last lot took me 45 minutes, and then my energy crashed. I am guessing because I hadn't eaten anything. So I lay down for a while, and then ate some rice and vegetables for breakfast.
Ready to get back at it.

I did sleep in. I thought I had posted, but it was from my phone, so it might still be there, or maybe I only thought about it! It's after Noon now, and I am dressed, have talked to dfBS, reviewed some of her current medical chart, as available on her portal that she has given me access to. She is feeling much better, and will probably be in hospital for 2-3 days. She has a relatively rare lung condition that puts her at risk.

My basement window is now painted. I thought about light blue, but after 1 coat and holding it up in the window, I decided that the creamy white that matches the walls will look better. So that is painted, and now has to dry at least 4 hours. I will give it longer, so the paint doesn't decide to stick to the framework and become impossible to remove.
DS and family are at the lake - he and dgs will put my sewing machine back when they are home. I'm so happy that they live in the same town! While cleaning, I found a little wooden sign he made in wood working class in school at about age 12. It says "I love my Mom." I'm so happy to find it and find a place to hang it.

I have eaten, taken my calcium, am dressed. Need to head to dfBS house to get her computer so she has something to do while at the hospital. then head to mother's to have her sign a birthday card, look at some pictures, and just visit a little. We are going to lunch with a friend on Monday.
