Two bed rooms and one bathroom are detailed cleaned. I did a bed room and a bathroom last night and one bed room this morning. May try to get the second bathroom done yet today. Still have lots of rooms to do but at least I have started.
I’m going to KC in the morning to meet Nicole. She is going out-of-state to a funeral and I am riding along with her. The drive is six hours and I didn’t want her to do it alone. More than that I want to lend her some support while she attends her first viewing since Chris died. I’m thinking it might not be easy for her.
We are spending the night Thursday and will return home sometime Friday. Not sure if I will spend the night at Nicole’s house Friday or if I will drive home. It will depend on how late we get back to KC. I’m glad my calendar is free and I have options.
Still need to give my girls some fresh linens this afternoon. They always enjoy rearranging the straw when I am done.
The dogs rolled in some prairie perfume last night (aka skunk spray). I had to give them their Heartguard pills today. It was all I could do to stand close enough to them to make sure they each ate their pills. Yuck!
I got kissed by the sun yesterday while I was mowing. I had worn my gym shirt which is sleeveless. My shoulders are a bit red yet although they don’t hurt. I am trying to avoid the farmer’s tan look I got last year when I wore a t-shirt when I mowed. My feet have their summer stripes going on from wearing my sandals. Luckily my sandals cover my scars from my surgery earlier this year. My foot Doctor had told me if I didn’t keep the scars covered they would turn a dark purple color.
The A/C guy came today to do the annual summer check up and replace the furnace filter. The filter is four inches thick so I can’t buy and replace it myself. Everything was good so no additional repair bill this time.
I printed the recipes I need for the retreat that is coming up in a week or so. Double checking my grocery list so I don’t forget something. I’ve only had one other retreat this year and it was a small one. I usually have more stuff on hand to use but that isn’t true for this retreat. Sure going to try to not have too much food left over yet have enough for all to eat as much as they want.
I attempted to lower the blinds in my living room west windows. They are built-in between the panels of glass and are hard to get to come down even. They drive me crazy when the blinds are not even. (Yes, I am a little OCD.) I may need to take the front panel of glass out so I can adjust them to suit me. I don’t like them down but know it will decrease my cooling bill if I can block some of the hot summer sun out. The windows have a film on them that reflects the light out that helps some but having the blinds out helps even more.
Cleaning. Planning. Packing. All is well on the prairie.
