I dawdled too long in the house this morning and now it's too hot to mow, so I'll do it at sunset. Probably better anyway, it is even closer to the departure date and means the lawn isn't likely to look like it needs mowing in the few days I'm away. I'll clean out the truck instead, get it ready to pack, and finish the sun room.

Last night I took the pills I usually take in the morning, forgetting that the Zyrtec is one of those antihistamines that keeps me awake. It's unusual for me to toss and turn, but I realized that must have been it. So I'll probably take a nap today to compensate. This is why I got up later than usual and missed my good mowing time.

On the good news front (until they find a mistake?) I received the electric bill, the first one since they put in that "smart meter" a few weeks ago, and it's about 20% of what I would expect it to be, based upon the last few year's summer bills. I'll watch this and keep in mind that the rest of the bill may catch up with me at some point in time. There may in fact be two bills, based upon the old meter and the new, with a double-whammy coming next month.

Busy day cleaning and packing and some work for work and shopping, so I'd better get going.
