Sorry for the mouse envy, Kittykatt! :lol: Would it help if I told you that my houseplants are green with envy when they hear about your plants?
Have a good night!

I have been to the basement and checked out the flooding cleanup. I think that tonight's main contributions will be to reinforce the tape holding up the air conditioner's insert and to strip the duck.

Thursday
Drained a couple of bowls of condensate from the air conditioner X 2
Put away dry dishes
Cleaned up after dog
Heart pill for Germane
Checked out pdf viewer on Linux PC. Switched to web browser
Found a recipe in breadmaker manual
Set up breadmaker
Filled/started breadmaker
Dusted
Drained the air conditioner
Changed pee pads for dog and air conditioner
Found a carpet beetle. Sent him off on the adventure that is independent living in the great outdoors
Started going through contents of small box. Discarded cable. Found box for grow light. Found the grow light, put it away and logged it so that I can find it in the future.
Swept
Breakfast for Germane: she graciously accepted dog food with probiotic
Washed floor
Set up new mouse
Spiffed self
Cleaned up after dog
Reorganized pee pad boxes
Treats for dog
Bagged up kitchen garbage and brought it to chute
Checked laundry room: one washer busy.
Brought load to basement locker and checked water cleanup from the flood. My locker room seems to have escaped but there is evidence of flooding in its hallway and another locker room closer to the stairs. They had a generator and sumppumps going. I won’t be using the laundry room in the basement for a few days. I’ll stay out of the recycling room too.
Checked laundry on the way up: both washers now in use. Leave laundry for tomorrow.
Gave Germane pills and cheese
Found canister and put away bread

We're all in the same heat wave, but it looked quite a bit worse where you are, L.Ann. Stay safe.

I am winding down for the night, other than looking after Germane.

Climbed up on sill and reinforced tape for air conditioner insert
Put my feet up and leaned back in my fancy chair to enjoy the fan and air conditioning
Stripped the duck. It was nothing like stripping a chicken. It was more like running 10 lbs of mud and sticks through my fingers millimetre by millimetre to find the specs of gold. In the end, I did have a container of meat and a container of gelatin.
Brought the kitchen garbage to the chute
