SHEs Organized

Hi!

I've been to the landfill, a grocery store (for bread for dh) and Costco. There weren't many samples available today. Not anything like Fridays.

Now I am home and everything has been put away.

So today has been a really good TA DA day for decluttering and for clearing some cubic feet of space. Much went out the door - entire back seat and bitsy rear of a small SUV was filled. We had cleaned all and provided paperwork, filters, on any automatic things. Nothing was turned down. Very nice visit, too.

Plenty of kitchen spiffing today. Scrubbed the sink with soft scrub w bleach.

Unfortunately, wasted some time on a grocery order that can't be filled.
back to square one on that -
Cathy is way ahead of me

Inner Brat:
"This is too boring!"
Proper Response:
"Thank you, Inner Brat, for sharing. I'm gonna do it anyway."

(do as I say, not as I do)

Great to hear that blessed's dmother is feeling well, with bright humor.

Hoping Nancy got a good nap.

Thinking of LadyM with EEG happenings.

Mystery, you're blessed to have a variety that he accepts. Here, the variety is set neatly to the side in a stack. THE hat was a gift from dgdC when she was much smaller, so nothing will ever match it - she's even tried. She gave him another similar but with a front logo in leather, which you would think he'd like, and he just set it to the side. This one says "PEPAW" in large, embroidered letters in Comic Sans font (the "friendly" font?). Strangers large and small will actually read it and then say that to him. I've pointed out that we might find another one pretty close, but this is the one his little sweetheart gave him then, so he's stuck on it.

You've found such a mature, informed group with whom to share literary pursuits.

We are eating dessert first and going for ice cream before dinnertime.

rinsed the inside of the fridge - not great but good enough cleaned the top of the fridge -
mom needed my help to go to the bathroom - d helper and I are taking turns as d mom has to go a lot. I just couldn't do that to the helper
lol mom is saying "all right" with a smile to use her Sara steady - we have been working with the walker a lot today which is good.

mom needs help in the shower but she did stand in there today - she is not safe on her own -
enjoy your book club!!! what a nice way to have dessert before dinner!
have a great day!

the inner brat was complaining the entire time lol but I was finding it funny that I was grumbling -
mom laid down again - she slept for 15 minutes before - and right now she is talking and talking to helper even though mom is in bed again - "that soup was so good" "how many times have I been married" (once) "I was only married once? oh that's right" "can you tell me how to unlock this (the side that keeps her in: nope we don't want her to learn that!" "What color is that" "what about the wedding" (we have a wedding shower this weekend). I haven't seen her this chatty in a long time.

I cleaned the kit. sinks.
Fetched the mail and the can back from the street.
DD called and chatted about family and her friends
and about Dgd having her senior year in high school and all that with beyond high school,
I suggested she contact dgd#1 as she went to that collage and is off work, might be helpful info. they
can share.

No nap happened yet anyway.
I cleaned the bathroom.
Dishes are current.
Had dinner.

prepped the coffee maker for in the morning.
Next up finish watering.
Personal grooming & P>M> Rx.
Figure out my top three for tomorrow.

So there is a meteor shower the next few days worth taking a look see.
* note/ a diff. in grass and sage brush fire with several different countys fighting with air support aka air water drops
happening it's 10 mi. from here.

Interesting day. Not enough instruction on cemetery software but I'm hoping to find my way through. I'm not one to be scared of clicking around software and I can always "back out" if I'm in over my head. At least I hope so. I will admit to "breaking" the directory on the HOA website so hoping I don't break this. The cemetery data itself is in an Airtable, which I have a little experience with, but I can't edit columns or the way it's laid out. I'm not sure I want to yet, but I find that dates of birth and death are entered as text, not sortable by date. (is it just genealogists who think of such things? OTOH, the Excel spreadsheet that was imported was probably not consistent enough as date, either.) There's the online behind the scenes Airtable, there's also the "Field Notes" app that does the more granular mapping to supposedly show the graves within the plots.

Another setback is that the quote to restore the two large plots affected by the downed tree is 10K. There has to be a less expensive way. The descendants of these people don't even live here. I want it to look good but it doesn't need to be perfect. (There are nine graves in one "plot" and eight in the other. These are some of the older graves. So many graves across the entire cemetery, tho, that need leveling and resetting.
