I guess it's the result of all those miles driven, but I have been napping throughout the day, usually waking up energized and ready to check a job off my list. That doesn't last long and I'm back on the couch.
Today is a little cooler, thankfully, and a constant breeze is blowing. I did a couple loads of laundry this morning and hung it on the line to dry, which it did in no time. I think it's the breeze that makes it smell so good.
Last night I turned on the TV for the first time since I've been home and briefly watched the weather channel. I realize it's been extremely hot just about all over the country, and here I've been whining and crying about the heat like I'm the only one who is suffering from it. Sorry about that. We're getting a short break in the weather for a few days, and I hope you all get it as well.
I called a man who advertised in our monthly newsletter that he would pick up large appliances for free, so I called about the stove and range hood. I can't believe it's been sitting on my driveway since last December. At least I put the old range into the box the new one came in. So the man told me he would be here between 9am and 5 pm - that sort of keeps me sitting at home waiting all day. I want to go back to Costco, but that can wait for a while - nothing urgent. I hate it when someone can't be more specific than that, but most utilities are that way as well as other businesses. I can't complain too much since he's picking it up for free. The reason I didn't have someone get it right away is because they all were charging $60 for a pickup at that time.
- Dreaded Job Finished, For Now
I'm talking about laundry, and it's dreaded because I have to wash the clothes, then load them into the car to dry them at a nearby laundry. It's really not that bad, but for some reason I hate doing it. The towels will wait until...
- Two More Wake-ups
That's how my kids always referred to the time left before we went on vacation or any other good thing such as birthdays, etc. Tomorrow will be my last full day of getting it all together, and then I'll just have coffee and breakfast before...
- I Will Survive
I think I will eventually see some good days, but not quite yet. The nasal spray is working very well, and my throat is feeling much better. An internet search on ragweed pollen indicated that in 2013 Sacramento led the nation in ragweed allergies,...
- The Floor Is Finished!
Donald came over this afternoon and finished the bedroom floor. I will still have to buy baseboard and have it put down, but that can wait as far as I'm concerned. The floor looks wonderful, and I'm now willing to start putting things in their...
- Another Day Of Rest
I think this could be habit forming. The only work I've done today is laundry and bagging leaves that were piling up in my driveway. In the mid-50's and sunny, it was a beautiful day for hanging out the wash. The sun makes such a difference with...
