nut, I sometimes have a problem finding a sitter /walker for my dog too. Almost anyone who I trust with a house key lives a little out of the way.
**metal mouse **, I have been checking out the Nashville stop for the Chieftains tour too. Should I decide to go, I’ll give you a holler and maybe we could meet up before the show.
I need to make a Tar-Jay run today for a desk lamp. After rearranging the studio, I found one end needing more light. I’ll unpack the things from the tops of my desks too. I’ll leave things pretty simple until the new tech is set up to see where I want stuff.
Last night sucked for sleep. Not only was I sore from moving furniture, someone in the complex across the fence was hosting a loud party until about three . I glanced out when I heard a ruckus, thinking of calling the law, when I saw blue lights. Quiet at last. 
I decided to pull some weeds in the front garden. I didn’t get them all, but I got a bunch - quitting when a bee started chasing me. Not a yellow jacket, fortunately. I also set up the sprinkler on the stuff I planted last week, and when I finished weeding, I dragged the sprinkler to that part of the garden, since it was pretty dry.
My back is feeling lots better - not completely normal, but not nearly as painful as it was. Huzzah!!
I got an email from motor vehicles about renewing my license - I need to get the federally mandated, multiply-proven ID. FCD’s license doesn’t expire for another year, but we’ve got our appointments at the same time to get it over and done with. I figure for him, it’s a good idea just in case he has to make a rush flight to FL for his folks. We’ll do it in about a month.
That’s been my exciting morning. rah.
Lawn has been mowed and clippings bagged. Have a soccer meeting about 1pm, outside of that I am in Do-little mode.
****, let me know, even if you don’t go I’ll buy lunch/early dinner.
Sari, I have a 1600 sq ft. ranch which is plenty of house for one, wouldn’t want anything more.
I’m at 1525 sq feet, plus an (unfinished) attic and a (unfinished) basement and two porches, and a deck and a patio, It really is a bit too much space.
Of course, if my son hadn’t made the living room into his bedroom, I wouldn’t have two unused bedrooms upstairs.
Irk is slow, so I am bored, but I already committed to irking all day and so I have to.
I made beef teriyaki on the grill last night, with rice and green beans. I forgot to put Sriracha sauce on mine. 
Howdy Y’all! We deheathenated. I did ush duty without major mishap and the fire alarm is no longer goin’ eep. HUZZAH! Get it got all over itself just like the alarm guy said it would. We came back to da cave and had burgers and then achieved nappage. In a while I shall haul the biiiiiiiiiiiiiig trash can all the way down to the road for pickup tomorrow. That and chillage shall comprise the rest of the day.
We had salmon, broccoli, and N.O.T.s-n-onions for (early) supper. Dishes are washing. I’ll have some fruit later.
I’ve been drinking lots of water. I’m having blood drawn in the morning, and I want to be well-hydrated, since I’m such a tough stick. The rest of the evening will be dedicated to chillage.
We had leftovers from yesterday. Hubs is doing the dishes. I am tahred and haven’t done much of anything. I foresee an early sleep I hope. I have already took my night pills. Buddy is in his cage. We are leaving to go to South Miami at 0700 which means getting up at 0600 to do all the things that must be done for the journey. Here is hoping the road stays open and that we will miss most of the rush hour in Miami.
Thus another too short Weekend is in the books.
**sari **, I live in 560 square feet and could probably stand about 50 more, but housework takes very little time.
I will let you know **metal mouse **.
I picked up my new system this afternoon. It was all there when I stopped Friday, but the manager told me that it was just one of monitors. :dubious: I skipped Tar-Jay altogether, since I had some things to drop at Goodwill. I stepped inside and found a desk lamp for $3.99. I also scored 2 pair of jeans that not only fit well, but look good. And one pair was even half price!
Supper is peanut and dal stuffed aigplant, Indian fried cabbage and a nice cucumber, onion and tomato salad with feta cheese. Tis good.
Worked. Napped. Making poke chops with Pig Salt with baked **N.O.T.**s and suteed green beans with garlic and 'shrooms. Today is my Firday.
Maybe find a reverse witch to turn 'em into peasants? then they could fend for themselves.
Did I mention I ordered a case of anvils?
I’m auditioning a new sitter for Gordie Tuesday. : crosses fingers :
