I have been to the store for a groc. run they open at six. :mrgreen:
Went to the tire store it had an alert that went off 1 mi. from home
so I unloaded groc. put away cold stuff and headed back down town for air.

When I put way food saw water on the floor by the furnace a/c so mopped that up and put a bucket by that for now.

Washer was off balance made a racket it is okay now. Dog is a bit freaked out however.

Good news I feel better.

so glad you feel better d Nancy!
praying your furnace is ok!
happy sewing!

hi d lady - wonderful that your dd is trying to adjust her sleeping to school hours.
yay on no more cooking today!

My teens always slept in if they could.
I wasn't like that so it is foreign to me. dh on the other hand slept until 1 pm when we first married. I was up at 5:30 at the latest. His dear family (most) slept in and didn't go to bed until after midnight. My family were early to bed and early to rise people.

d twins I think that not knowing what to do next tends to cause confusion and then of course procrastination (lol not procreation :lol: ).
I can't wait to hear how your cabinets look!

I've wasted a lot of time today dithering over a citation. It affects a bunch of citations, tho, and it would be nice to have them correct? or close to correct?

Huh. List of things in my head. They're mostly all still there. Needing to be done.

I did do a big statement at my desk, which wasn't real easy. Customer came in to pay us and that resulted in long conversation.

Finally I got up on the ladder and got 2 light fixtures on the porch taken apart, 1 bulb changed, bugs / wasps chased out / everything washed and shined up. Floor cleaned up of all the dried out stuff that fell out of the fixtures.

Then one of my DGSons called. So I took a break. I managed to cook dinner with one hand while I talked with the other on my phone. 3 hours later..... not a great day for accomplishments, but I don't regret any of it.

Folded a LOL tonight, cleaned up kitchen, running dishwasher now. So that is it for the day. Maybe tomorrow will go better.

Happy 64th to the DeeClutters!

Twins', it's not a waste when its time spent on something meaningful to you.

blessed, I hope ddolder feels better.

LadyM, I hope you have a relatively good experience after booster.

A "Hummingbird Moth" or "Snowberry Clearwing" came to the flowers today. This is the first one I've seen in my life so I don't believe they are native here. Ds came over and saw it and says he hasn't seen one either, but then he's relatively young. Another time I wish I had my parents to give an opinion. Of course, the petunias' advertising says they can be seen from so far away that they attract butterflies and bees. Maybe I should credit them.

Got a wonderful photo with the see-through-lace wings spread in front of the pink petunia bloom it was drinking from and sent to all the children. Ds' children came about an hour later, assuming they could just see the rare moth for themselves whenever convenient. :idea: (Made sense to them.) Who'd have believed they could just walk right up to the flowers and see it there again, but they did!

Had to defend a skink from our green-eyed-boy, who likes to prove he can catch them. Sigh. Grandma is not ready for that.

Ds tested all our (his) smoke detectors, got a difficult light fixture off and changed that bulb. Played with Tobias more than anyone has in months.

Have been slightly overwhelmed. Yesterday was a dermatology appt for HRH - he's "all clear" except for a freeze of a place on side of his face which took a second. Dr said, "I see a spot to freeze" and it was over. HRH said even though he barely got his eyes closed in time, it was much better than waiting for an explanation of a procedure, though. Just do it.

Then getting gasoline, then some work on my dear Aunt's estate, then grocery shopping and a quick visit on the porch at a cousin's house, to give a gift we've been meaning to take for a month! We were pretty happy with all we got done.

I was stung twice by some kind of a not-too-bad insect. A little benedril cream and I was better, although it was a shock at the moment. :shock: I was wearing a dress, maybe mid-calf. I've had that happen before. I think the skirt of a dress can "capture" a flying insect and in its panic it will stung.
