Mornin’ everyone.
It’s 52F and cloudy outside. We are expecting a little morning rain shower here and there, but the afternoon will be dry. The day will remain cloudy with a daytime high of 62F.
Yesterday, we topped out at 83F, and I definitely felt it because I spent five or six hours in the yard first with mowing and weed-whacking, and then gardening. I decided to expand/create a new bed, and I transplanted multiple plants among the beds, planters, and pots. It was a good way to work the stress out of me. I popped in ear buds, turned on Spotify, and set to work.
Thanks to all for your commiserations about my mother. As far as my husband not listening, I’m not surprised. He did this with my Dad, too. He just doesn’t do well with large, life-changing things. I was 100% there for him with his mom and dad, and I really was the one doing the executor work for his mother’s estate. I’d tell him what he needed to do, or what the attorney said, and he’d sign, go to the attorney appointment (with me), or make the required call. Perhaps it’s my fault, I’ve always just taken care of stuff, and why should anything change for him now?
Red, I hope you find a doc who accepts your insurance soon.
Dicey, I hope the meds/therapy work. I haven’t lost my phone yet, but you never know. I know now that I have to start tracking when I pay my bills, because I sometimes forget whether I paid. I’ve always paid 100% on time and pay early, but I still have to check the portal to make sure. I am driving myself crazy, so I’m going to make an Excel spreadsheet tracker.
Mollie, hang in there. Baby steps eventually lead to strides.
Boo Fae, I used to hate those last-minute, right-now turn-arounds. Sure, lemme search through five years’ worth of files and systems to find something you should have had all along.
I have two large storage totes filled with the kids’ artwork, writing, and some of their report cards. I didn’t get the tote to my daughter before she moved, and my son just moved into his house and doesn’t want it right now. I desperately want them out of my house because I don’t like stuff piling up.
FCM, if taking Otis with you to the boat works, then go with it. I had a covered outdoor kennel for our pups for years. I put kennel decking in there, and had large water bowls, toys, and treats. As they got older, we could trust them in the house. I hear what you’re saying about the heat. At the time, one dog was white and a Siberian Husky, and the other was black and a Labrador mix. Unfortunately, we both had to work, and it was the only solution we had. The kennel was set up in the portion of the yard that had the most shade.
I have to go to the MAUL today. I hate shopping for clothes, but I really don’t have anything that will work for Sunday’s memorial service. I thought about ordering something online, but I have to try clothes on. On-line clothing purchases rarely work out for me.
Tomorrow is the Costco and party-or-dollar-store run (for bowls for the salads). I think I might get a pedicure first, though.
Alrighty, on with the day. Please take care of yourselves.
He just lives in an area with Amish and other plain folk who know who hires out for rides. No licensing is involved, you just know a guy who knows a guy.
