Got most of the mowing done this morning.  Loving the temperatures in the 70’s today.  Didn’t get much rain so the grass wasn’t wet.  It is nice to get a short break from the 90 and 100 degree days we have had lately.

Now to find some motivation to get some cleaning done inside the house.  My bathroom and bedroom are first on the list as they are really dirty.  Have guests coming tomorrow night so will need to do the living room, dining room and kitchen tomorrow before they arrive.

Feels good to be able to stay home today.  The pest control guys came while I was mowing and the garage door fix-it guys are here now replacing the rollers and bearings on the two garage doors.

Got the insurance company’s hail damage report.  I now need to get two bids and see how close they are to what the insurance company is paying.  The insurance company did say if their payment is too low to submit copies of bids and they will consider adjusting it.  I called one company to request a bid but haven’t heard back from them yet.  Anyone have a recommendation of someone so I can get a second bid?  The insurance company is sending me a check for their part and will at some point in the future send someone out to make sure the repairs were done.

The friend of Kathy’s that stayed overnight last week sent each of us a bouquet of flowers yesterday.  Kathy got hers in the morning.  Last night my neighbor called and told me I had a box on his front porch.  What a nice thing for Kathy’s friend to do!  Totally unexpected and unnecessary but much appreciated.

Tomorrow when I go to town to get peaches I need to get some new sandals.  The padding around the heel in the pair I have now is starting to peel away and hurts my feet.  I was hoping to get through the rest of the summer in them but they aren’t going to make it.  Trusting the shoe store still has some sandals left in stock.

Need to track the dogs down and give them their tic medication and charge their collars.  I’ll need to wait until the garage guys are gone so I can lock the dogs in the garage while their collars charge.

Feeling a bit down today for some reason.  I have been extra tired this week but not sleeping very good.  Almost feels like I am fighting off an infection of some sort but not sure yet.  Maybe a day at home will be just what the doctor ordered  and I will be back to feeling better tomorrow.

Grateful for the cooler temperatures today, grateful the hard mowing is done for the year without me damaging my mower, and grateful I get to stay home all day today and recharge my soul.
