Thanks. It is a bit better than it was, but it's still here.

Rick left this morning and his flight took off on time, so he's in Chicago now for a brief layover before going on to Oregon. He'll be gone until next Thursday. We've been texting and flight was fine.
  • Which puts me on trash detail tonight by myself. I have to clean all the litterboxes and get the trash down to the road for pick-up early Thursday morning.
  • While I'm doing that, I have a couple loads of laundry to do. (I was going to do it last night, while I washed anything Rick needed, but I had done a pretty good job on Sunday and he didn't need anything done.)
And that will keep me busy for a while tonight.

  • Errands: I have banking to do, both for Rick and me and for his parents. My MIL needs a few things at the grocery store. My sister and I are going to the nursery today for butternut squash plants and for red beets, and a couple broccoli plants. She wants to get some pampas grasses for a hill she's landscaping in her backyard by the pool. Then we're heading out to look at dishwashers.
  • I really need to clean this messy house when we get home from shopping. So a good vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, all that good stuff.
  • It's been showering throughout last night and even into this morning. I may not get any vegetables planted today, depending on the weather. If it clears up at all, I'll plant whatever I buy. I'm thankful for the rain.
  • I found a recipe for a knock-off of King's Hawaiian buns that I'd like to try, maybe tonight.
And that's pretty much it. I'd like to get as much done indoors today as I can, so that I can be outdoors tomorrow. We'll see how things go.

  • I washed the sheets this morning and they're in the dryer now. Washing the comforter, too. I took the electric blanket off the bed yesterday (much to BooBoo's dismay last night; he let me know he was not amused by meowing when he came to bed. Loudly, I might add) and it's staying off now until fall.
  • Doing some shopping today. Looking for a new dishwasher and also looking at microwaves while I'm out and about. Doing some clothes shopping, too. I need some casual tops for work. A new Fitbit band is on my list; my old one is starting to split (that's common with the Flex bands). I made up a list of things I want to check out.
  • After dinner tonight, I will come home and start mowing the lawn. I can't get the riding mower out of the shed on my own, so if I push-mow the front tonight and then the back tomorrow, I should have it all done til Rick gets home. Weather permitting, that is. We are to get t-storms today and tonight.

Back to work today. I felt well all weekend and worked hard getting stuff done. This morning? I awakened with a headache. First day back to work and this is what happens. Hopefully it won't last too long.
  • Trash night tonight, so clean out all the litterboxes and get the trash can down to the road
  • I have one load of laundry to do
  • Finish mowing the back yard

If you've got another headache be pleased it's cool where you are. We've been in the 100's the last couple of days.
I hope you're feeling better.

Went to Tel Aviv to see my sister.
We went to a restaurant called benedict which is open 24/7 and serves only breakfasts from all over the world. I had a 'full English' breakfast. Very good for cholesterol!!!!!
Wentback to my sister for strawberries and cream. Finished my book and came home.

Sounds like a nice visit, Judy.

Headache is gone and I feel pretty good this morning. Yes, it is quite cool around here the last couple of days. We are barely reaching 60F as a high right now. We went from 84F and hazy, hot, and humid on Tuesday, to a barely 62F Wednesday. 

I have absolutely nothing going on tonight. No vacuuming, no gardening (although I should do some weeding), no mowing, nothing. (Well, other than scooping, that is)

Didn't sleep last night.
Dropped off at about 8am and woke 3 hours later. Been awake since then. It's now 1.55am and I'm worrying if I'm going to sleep tonight.
Put a wash on last night.
This morning it was put into the dryer and then folded and put away.

  • Rick and I are doing the dreaded dishwasher hunt this morning, followed by running some errands for his mom. Since we have to go to the grocery store, we're going to pick up what I need for our Memorial Day picnic. 
  • Work outside in the veggie garden. It desperately needs some weeding.
  • We will have an early dinner because Rick will be sleeping at his parents' house tonight and Sunday night. His father is not doing well. He'll be going late afternoon, so while he's gone, I want to vacuum a bit.

...with the cats...
  • gave snick and jasper their breakfasts
  • washed some dishes, scooped litter boxes, took out the trash
  • got things ready for jasper's and my trip to the shelter clinic
  • shelter clinic for jasper's annual shots, dewormer, and flea treatment application -- while he was back in with the vet (all of 5-7 minutes), i filled out and signed the paperwork to make official jasper's adoption. so now jasper is officially in his furever home here with me and snick!   btw -- when the vet tech was bringing jasper back out to me in his carrier i heard her say, 'what a big beautiful boy!'
  • i bought an inexpensive take out breakfast from a small diner across the street from the shelter, as i hadn't had breakfast yet
  • got back home and got jasper settled in, then gave both cats a snack
  • did a few small things around the house, then took a shower

  • have been fighting the annual pi$$ ant invasion today. they seem to come into my house once each spring looking for bits of food debris, but after they find nothing (left out) they give up. so i hope their annual invasion won't last long. there have only been 8-10 tiny ants so far, but those have been dispatched already.

Taking some vacation time and leaving work early today. Is my mind ever shot! Here I was thinking that I needed to get a Father's Day card from the cats for Rick and just realized that Father's Day is actually the following Sunday, not this coming Sunday.
  • Some shopping: Lowes, banking, and some errands for Rick's mother. I want to stop at our local butcher to pick up some nice rib-eye steaks for grilling on Sunday. He's going to bring his mom down to have dinner with us.
  • We are going to spend tomorrow with the grands. Our granddaughter wants to bake chocolate crinkles tomorrow. Since it's a very rich dough, it has to be in the fridge overnight, so I must get the dough ready to be chilled. I must make a pasta salad to take down tomorrow, too. Our granddaughter and I will be doing the grilling tomorrow night for supper, too. It's just burgers, but she enjoys cooking with Grandma.
And I'm thinking that will probably be it, other than the standard scooping, etc. I do have one load of laundry to run this afternoon, too; I should get that done before Rick gets home from work.

My son, DiL and 3 grandkids picked me up.
We went to my daughter for supper.
Had a pleasant time.
Was brought home. I can't drive.
Watched a film on TV and am now in bed. It's 2am.

  • Grocery shopping tonight
  • I didn't get the yard mowed yesterday, so if it doesn't rain tonight (we are in t-storm mode right now), I will be mowing 
And that will be it
