I don't go too heavy on the liquid detergent bc dh doesn't like his clothes smelling like it. No fabric softener but occasional stain treatment. I don't do well with artificial smells in general. They give me a headache.

I hope your mom recovers quickly, Gma.
Looks like you've accomplished a lot today, Kitty. Lots of smiley faces!

No walk (although I did walk to and from the parking garage to get to and from payroll). No WF :arrow: I changed the meal plan. And no QT. It's now 6:30 - and I'm tired. However, I DID get a call back from SURS. I'd forgotten I'd given them my number for that, so I was surprised. Pleasantly. LOL! Got that done. I also got info from cousin re: town where Mom was born for her DC. Passed that on. Got the bed made and a lol going. Also, found the photo I want with the obit. Also emailed the NH that we'll get her room cleared out this weekend, hopefully.

Tonight/ Tomorrow, I need to edit the obit and send it with a photo. And send out cards to the few friends who kept in touch with her while she was in the NH all those years.

Next
- get 2 items from WF for dinner tonight
- go for a walk to clear my head
- some qt

Later:
- some qt
- edit obituary
- start writing cards - those who sent my mom cards in the NH
- go for a walk
- bins back from the curb
- Kroger order
- dinner: cumin pasta, roasted zucchini
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update health apps

TaDas!
- up; weighed self
- back exercises; I hurt it more by twisting to get some TP while going to the restroom in the middle of the night :roll:
- coffee
- reviewed bnb options with dh and booked one
- email deletions + weather website - sunny and high of 83*F today; high of 87*F tomorrow! :o

- messaged DF with details
- payroll: posted HW3
- called church; later called the pastor
- called funeral home; SS should be contacted and increased # of DCs
- called good catering Co - fully booked
- looked at other catering businesses; feeling it's not worth the hassle for an unknown co. - and the food looks heavier, not the nice finger food the other company had; not worth it for maybe 20 people
- emailed church - I'll just do the women's cookie and coffee/ lemonade reception
- on hold off and on for 45 minutes with SURS of IL -- I occasionally do something to my phone and get out of the queue; hung up because I was getting frustrated
- reclaimed kitchen
- texted cousin; confirmed Mom's birthplace
- emailed that info to the funeral home handling her DCs
- call back from SURS; gave them info - they'll send me info soon
- emailed the NH
- made the bed
- load of lights washing
- found the digital version of the photo I want
- dh brought back the bins

Lots of impressive lists here today!

So many rabbit holes, so little time, Bama! :lol:

Thanks, helia. A walk sounds good. I think that Germane and I will follow your example.--oops, I see that the walk is off the table. WTG on all that you did get done.

Hi, Gma. I'm sorry about your dmother. But it's hopeful that the nursing home has had good success with it before.

Good night, Kittykatt. WTG on getting the kitchen done.

That makes sense, that you need an early night to start that early, L.Ann. WTG on all that you got done.

You too, Peaches.

I have showered and washed hair, and now I'm going to take Germane for her walk. If the water hasn't gone down by then, I think that I will reassign the air conditioner's turkey baster to the sink and siphon off water so that I can use the air canon. There's very little that needs to come out. I've been plunging off and on, and it has gone down slightly.

re: the laundry discussion
I have been using TIDE, but the unscented, free and clear variety. That's the only free and clear, or free and gentle brand that I seem to be able to find around here. I don't use fabric softener, which does cling to clothes. I do use white vinegar frequently in the fabric softener compartment, which does work like fabric softener and I have heard that it chemically reduces suds/ soap residue from detergent. And I promise, it is both cheap and leaves no scent of pickled clothes!

now I have to go wash off mosquito spray, put my clothes in the washer so I can have clean work clothes tomorrow
And maybe I can find something to eat in addition to the apple and chocolate ice cream I have ahd for not-supper.

One-Second Plumber for the win! That's what I was calling the air canon. Also, I am an idiot. When I found it and read the instructions, I realized that it actually needs water in the sink to work. Anyway, 2 hits of that and my sink is running better than it has in a long time. I wish that it worked in the bathroom, but both the sink and the tub have an extra hole that gives the air a more attractive escape route instead of punching its way through the clog.

I hope that Gma is enjoying something filling and nutritious.
