trissie, getting to the end of your list is no small accomplishment!

A hurried start is no fun, helia, but you have figured out a good plan.

Kitkat, I think that we are all sliding into the same heat dome. Our forecast is for 98 F and 109 F with the humidex. A good day to stay close to the air conditioner!
You got your exercise in yesterday for sure. You have earned an easy day today.

The exercise class could be fun, L.Ann. I used to enjoy them when I was in my twenties.

You have made amazing progress on the fence, Gma, especially considering the heat.

Always happy to share the coffee, kitkat. You have been making short work of your list. WTG!

Hello everyone!

Trissie, I agreed, it would be lovely to have a to-do list that magic "did" itself! :lol:

Helia, that's a very full day ahead!

KitKat, that's very interesting that you've had an excellent Romanian vet too! My impression (and I could be wrong!) is that's it's probably quite a polarised country, with highly intelligent young women being able to make the most of their abilities and opportunities , but some areas (rural?) being less developed.

L.Ann, I agree, if I do at least some of my exercises first thing, they do at least get done!

Gma,.you're making great progress with the fence!.I agree, the best time to kill those trees is now, when you have the time!


Dogged, your suggestion is a very wise and sensible one.. I've done the maths, and some of the people living there (2 parents and random man that appears from time) are roughly the right age to be a CeauΘ™escu orphan, but one of the parents ( not sure which one, although I think it *may* be the Dad ) has his parents staying. There's also a little girl and 2 teenage boys all crammed into a 3.bedroom house. Oh, and various other hangers on that appear from time to time. And they are not exactly what one would call"quiet" either!

Housework and garden are done. I just have to give Cookie (DNeighbours S amd T's.cat) her supper and feed our gang.

Noisy, intrusive neighbours are a pain, however they came to be the way that they are, Kittykatt. And I think about what a good neighbour you are, and how lucky your neighbours are to have you!
I see a lot of smiley faces on your lists--WTG!

kitkat and Kitty, I had a young male Romanian trainer who worked with my physical therapist when I was getting treatment for a frozen shoulder. He was excellent!!
WTG to pup on the long down stay, kitkat! I think we are weather twins. We're forecast to reach 97/98 tomorrow without the humidity.
trissie, whenever you and dh develop the magic todo list, sign me up as a buyer! :D
I think you deserve a fresh pot of coffee, Doggedly.
The fence sounds like a lot of work, Gma. Stay hydrated!

Dh pulled a bunch of poison ivy from the hill in our yard on Saturday. He has a pretty bad reaction to poison ivy, so he was completely covered, except for his face, which got lots of mosquito bites. He then washed the clothes he wore 2X, threw away the gloves, and I think the washer needs to go through an additional hot rinse cycle before it can be used again for other clothes

This morning, I barely got everything ready for work in time. I didn't have time to shower or do my back exercises; I just spiffed myself, gathered everything, and ran out the door. Then, my tutee was 10 minutes late. :roll: Everything went well - it was just a long day at payroll. I've done a little more payroll at home: posted some pics I took of the board, edited audioscript and posted it + audiofile in GC. I still need to post HW, type up meeting notes, and post them in the announcement doc for morning announcements tomorrow.

I got home around 4:30 and hadn't had lunch yet - so I did that -- and then I was so sleepy, there was no way I was going to do anything productive. I haven't gotten groceries, so dinner will be olive chicken from the freezer, rice, and whatever veggies I can scrounge up. Although, I just had lunch less than 2 hours ago, so I'm not really hungry.

Next:
- start rice cooker
- get chicken heating up
- figure out a veggie

Later:
- some qt
- back exercises
- s2s and self care
- squeegee and wipe down shower
- make bed
- get some groceries
- gym: stair master
- dinner: spinach ravioli, homemade tomato sauce, green salad olive chicken, rice, veggies of some sort
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update MFP
- update WW
- pay 3 snail mail bills
- update lists
- menu plan and groc. list for the week
- Call Dr.
- grad card + check ready for the mail for AR
- other things?

TaDas!
- up; weighed self
- coffee
- email deletions + weather website
- payroll: grade HW
- payroll: figure out AAS midterm test
- payroll: make AAS practice text
- payroll: prep slides for AAS D5
- spiff myself; prep water bottle and a snack of popcorn
- reclaimed kitchen
- gather stuff and otd by 10:40
- 11-1 payroll: tutorial
- 1-1:40 payroll: teacher meeting (take notes)
- 1:40 - 3:30 payroll: teach AAS D5
- payroll: post pics, audiofile, and audioscript

Germane had her walk as the sun was going down to avoid hot sidewalks, and has had her various goodies. I think I'll look at finances next.
