Some more ta das....I reconciled bank and filed papers for HOA for March and did the cemetery spreadsheet (using the bank statements) to record all the cemetery deposits and expenses. When I workout on Thursday I'll go by the temple and pick up all the accumulated papers there to sort and file.

Nancy - Congratulations on your new mower. It has been our experience when the battery mower would not start was because of two reasons. The battery was out of power or using the wrong sequence in starting it. They are highly particular that the two actions be done in correct order - hold handle bars then press button. if you press the button before holding the handle bar it won't start. DH gets the actions backward all the time and can't get the mower to start. I reteach him every couple of days.

I am doing my 3 things per hour then using part of each hour to binge watch my show. I am loving the alternating combination of being productive and relaxing.

Update: got it! yea I have to hold the start button done do not release and pull the "go" lever, then let go of start button.
I mowed the whole yard again got 10K steps in! I was releasing the start button before I pulled the go lever.
Turtle speed is best for me today as it was pretty long 6" in some places.
So going over it evened up some of the ones that were left & I got the placed I missed it was a bit shady
in some areas.
LM Yes is was an issue of not the right sequence.

Learned a lot! Batteries were fine & I was glad I'd helped LH with his battery charging and
when they did the deck and roof I was in charge of battery change outs! LOL!
-----
One battery had a longer life than the other.
I'll charge them both up after I get another rest break in.
Windy out but that feels great!
At least it's sunny out.
I think if I do not use the self propelled lever the battery lasts longer.
It's also good for resistance exercise. :mrgreen:

I've charged up both batteries.
Rested had some soup.
Finished a series on n Flix.
Did some crocheting.

ello from fuzzy eyesight land. I want to say and ask more, about things here and thins not here *blessed). But maybe another time I did the thing. Ten minuts of priving to myself how well I memorized scripture, and how well I can hide slight panic, lol. One does this surgfery awake and looking square at it, of course. Diretly to the follow up in a different town. Why get me to take an eye test? Silly. Couldn't see the giant e of course. But dr did the important looking and says so far, so good. Then turns to HRH and says, "(first name), she is not to... .. (long list)". I was surprised at how many things I will policed not to do. If something falls onto the floor, call HRH. lol. All kinds of things like that. We see him again in one week. Napped until ddolder called way too soon. Then she called again, ondering if we needed the boys to deal with trash pickup. So, napping was not much help, even tho HRH tried to answer each, I was still awakened and assuming I should answer. Gratitude for help from medical science.

Hi, I'm able to see what I type now.

lucylee, yipes, your poor dmother - will she have bruising, do you think? So good that you could get to her quickly. Btw, your dgd deserved a chance to score that run for her team!

blessed, I meant that I realize you are so busy that you can't chat much, and I look forward to hearing from you when you have time.

Nancy, so glad you have gotten the hang of the particular starting of the mower, and I hope it gives you good service.

Cathy, "stitchin' in the sunshine" sounds like a happy song lyric!

Twins', we learned at eye surgery center that pollen for today, tomorrow and the next day is at the highest level, surprising many. Around the large and spacious waiting room, there were often sneezes and the resulting polite "bless you"s.

Costumelady, you are sewing such a variety of things lately. I was sad to hear your ddog had some pain.

LadyM, I would have greatly benefitted from sitting down together and talking in real time today! Would have made so much more sense! I love the tip of 3 things written for the coming hour.

Mystery, I hope you enjoyed your dinner with your friends. Maybe the visiting trips won't seem so long in the future.

I have stopped walking around the house with one eye open and one closed. ;) 8-) But, of course, stlll quite a bleary view. I recall, I believe, hearing that there were 16 drops and one ointment into the eye today, and being told that wasn't going to clear up quickly. Frankly, I appreciate it feeling comforted as opposed to dry now, (Didn't like the onslaught at the time, though.)

We discussed going out in the morning for groceries, but decided to order for in the morning instead. It's one thing to encounter curbs and uneven pavement, etc., that are necessary because of getting to appts - quite another to encounter them if it isn't necessary.

Late ci:
I think dmom will be fine — no bruises that show, at least.
Tomorrow she and I plan to see a movie, A Great Awakening.

Today I had a bunch of errands to run, including taking Dgd to ball practice. I was just totally wiped out when I got home. I’ve done nothing since.
Still coughing— finally remembered I have Musinex, so I tried that tonight.
Trying to decide about yoga tomorrow— it’s a very QUIET activity. I dong want to be distracting with this cough.

Ds and dgs went all the way to College Town and saw our team lose badly. They sounded like they had a good time anyway.
Tomorrow is another day.
