Three cheers!
1.I am back into my phone for posting!
2 Ds and his dfil came over and got some additional supports under the bed. The rails/slats will not fit correctly and they decided wooden slats would not work because of the way the rails are made. So I am still using concrete blocks (with some shims), but it is more the correct size and it seems like it is sturdy now.
3.They also put the toilet flusher on.

I have to get clothes out of the dryer and put on some make-up, then go get my hair trimmed.
I * THINK * the dryer is okay... we shall see.

I was feeling pretty energized but I've been down more DAR rabbit holes for my friend A. OTOH, I've also done cleaned my CPAP, finished a.m. routine, done a bunch of paper taming and filing. I'm just all over the place honestly. Also have a bar mitzvah card and birthday card in outgoing mail. And grocery order. Yes, hip hip hurray for the small stuff!

I need to leave for workout in 35 min. Afterward going by cemetery to check that outlet, and probably going on to the post office to check the HOA mailbox. I should wash the car and do some other things but not sure I will.

Dfriend M invited me and Milly over around 5 for wine and chatting.

It's killing me that I haven't gotten back to my own genealogy since coming home from my trip. We're leaving again on Wednesday for a long weekend trip (back on Sunday) and that's it for awhile. The HOA and cemetery are taking time away.

Twins -- I answered my own question -- apparently the American Legion sponsors both Boys and Girls State (in Alabama, at least.) That makes it even more puzzling that they only send one girl, but several boys. And I believe it has been this way for the last 50 years. :?

Clothes are hanging on the stationary bike. :oops: (Waiting to be put on hangers and left in closet doors to dry.)
Dgrands have gone with ds and other grandpa to eat lunch. (Thank goodness!) DGS will come back to spend the night with me.
I'm listening to Jake Hess with the Gaither Gospel music on YouTube. (Jake Hess was born in North Alabama, btw.) I have learned that listening to music like this (or sometimes Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood) starts my day in a much calmer tone, rather than getting sucked in to tv news or Western programs. (Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood however do kinda energize me.)

I vacuumed under half of the bed. I didn't want to ask them to take the other box spring off. (This bed has a single king-size mattress, but underneath, the box springs are in two pieces.)
I put on enough make-up that I don't think I will scare small children.
Off to get my hair done. ;)

I moved the wheel burrow & trash can I put smaller branches in.
Picked up some twigs.
chatted with the back neighbor.

Walked ddoggo around the block.
I have 3/4 this of my steps in for the day.

Added my progress to my garden planner.
Hydrated.

One shirt was wadded up in the sheets and damp so I hung it over the clothes line in the basement.
Sheet is out on the folding table to air dry for a bit.

So nice for a calm day.
Might be a good day for some island type music I like that.

I have a pod cast about starting over to listen too also.
