I've had several guys come by to look at the roof and talked on the phone to a couple more, but I liked the fellow who just left my house. I told him I would call him by Monday - I would have hired him on the spot except I'm waiting for another estimate on Monday. This will be a fix, any way I look at it, and not a new roof. If this gets settled I can soon relax and enjoy thinking about New York.
I also got my Big Agnes tent back and need to set it up to see if the new zippers work ok. It's too big to set up on the driveway, and the only thing to do is to find a campsite that isn't too far away and set it up for a couple of days.
I spent the whole morning steam cleaning my floors in the living/dining/TV area. I think I wore myself out moving heavy furniture back and forth so that I could clean under everything. I stopped because the steamer pad got so dirty and I finished the job using a folded microfiber cloth. I'll throw them in the washing machine and then do the hallway and bedroom next. That shouldn't be as backbreaking, especially if I don't try to move the heavy chest of drawers. The little spare room is chock full of office (desk, printer, shredder, supplies) and camping gear. No way am I going to move all that out right now - maybe one of these days I'll clean that floor.
Now I'm almost too worn out to fix a decent dinner.

Now does this sound like me? You're right, I've never been in a cleaning frenzy in my life! A woman who will switch sleeping on sides of the bed so the sheets only have to be washed half as often, doesn't get in that kind of frenzy....

I was sitting at the dining room working on the latest puzzle. The washing machine and dryer were going and I could hear them as background noise. I must have flushed the toilet and it never stopped running, but I didn't hear it...

It's still unbearably hot, but after the triple digits all this week we will get back into the 90's. I never thought I'd be relieved to be in 90 degree weather. Have I said how much I hate hot weather? I dropped...

I didn't leave the house yesterday so I had a lot of things to do today, including a quick trip to the grocery. Bel Air always asks the customer if they would like help getting their purchases to the car. Older ladies and men often...
