Hi, all. Thank you for an invigorating start, Kittykat. :) You did better in the heat than I did. I walked Germane in the early evening, intending to go right out after and run errands. But Yikeseven though our walk is leisurely and not far, by the time that we got back I had lost all interest in driving around in my solar oven, LOL.

Happy non-birthday, helia. ;)
I hope that appointment goes well for your DH. Nobody enjoys that one.

I hope that the appointment with your DH goes well, kitkat.

You hit the weather jackpot this summer, Lauralind: cool, reasonable rain, not flooding or on fire. Enjoy!
That is frustrating about your coffee maker. So new and dying already.

Yikes! That is an early start, L.Ann.

Wednesday
Drained air conditioner
Cleaned up after dog
Put away dry dishes
Put on a pot of coffee
Gave Germane her heart pill
Went over map of hospital to see parking options

Hi all. Bama you are just like me. Mia for a week or more at a time lately. Just couuld make time to post but not much but repeat to say. Doing without listing it all.

I have my coffee now. And made sure the new breakfast grill works. With grilled cheese for lunch. Kitchen clean. Floor swept. And defurred th older cat tree. Cut off all the loose twine that is shredded so it looks better. Had a nice visit with h. Now I'm sitting here trying to encourage ds to find some info on why with negative numbers. So he can understand. Struggling with motivation now online math. Started well but had to correct the first assignment and then he halted a bit. Gotta get somewhere. Asap now.

Next up mop floors. Freshen up another load of bedding. Vacuum everywhere . Clean the deck and ds can clean the grill. Outside is good I didn't do the grates etc.

Hello, everyone!

Helia, you have a busy day ahead - I hope you're able to enjoy the summer weather.

Laura, I hope this time you can get a coffee maker that you really like!

Bama, good to "see" you. How is Little Man doing?

That's a very early start for you, L.Ann!

Yikes about DH's infected cut, KitKat. I hope the doctor can sort it out.

Dogged, I try and walk Freddie earlier in this heat (and also later in the evening of he asks).If I'm not sure about the temperature, I use the hand test on the tarmac beforehand.

Freddie enjoyed his early walk, but I spent longer watering and weeding in my front garden than anticipated, so I ran out of time to do any more outside jobs. But the kitchen is clean and everyone has been fed.

*\o/* *\o/* *\o/* BAMA BAMA she's our gal, if anyone can do it, BAMA can! 3 cheers for BAMA today :-)
and 3 cheers for L.ann too!

Thanks for the fine synopsis of William Tell! Those of us who remember the early days of television, who remember the Lone Ranger, learned the music for the Wm Tell Overture as the theme music for the intro to each episode - when TV was black and white!

long pause - I heard a chain saw - dgrandson was in my driveway cutting up a spruce trunk that was cut down from my yard today. City doesnt' want evergreens in the boulevard, I was happy to let it go - I didn't plant it - It opened up a nice view. City would have taken the trunk, but dson wanted the wood for the firepit at the cabin.

I think I'll hit submit, then take a shower and maybe come back...
