Keb, I hope you're able to get a comfortable position to sleep if that cyst was in an inconvenient spot on your head.

This morning I let the Alexa app have access to my phone contacts after I picked up one more Echo dot device. Last month I realized how lucky my friend was, the one who fell during the night and broke his hip, that he was able to have his Alexa device call his next door neighbor for help. It won't call 911 but it can call numbers in your contacts. A fall, phone in hand, would allow easy access to help, but the scenario of getting up in the night and falling on the way to the bathroom is commonplace. Now to declutter the list of the ones that are deceased or no longer used. This device in a part of the house where I spend a fair amount of time.

That same friend is rounding up art supplies he doesn't use and will add them to the stash I'm donating to the non-profit that provides art materials to local teachers. I'll swing by later to pick them up and do a couple of other errands at the same time (drop off more puzzles at the thrift store or library, and while I'm thinking of it, I have some boxed games that we never use that I can donate to my library.

The kitchen stove overhead exhaust fan started making a terrible racket lately; I cleaned the screens that cover it but next I need to disassemble to clean and graphite the moving parts. There may be enough grease buildup on the fan blades that it goes off-balance so that is the main objective for now. This has been in place for years and it may be time for a new one.

Outside the house it's time to start regular watering in the areas I need to soak to keep the foundation in place and a few plants that aren't completely established. I'm using my gray water bucket (rinse water in the kitchen sink) to carry out to pour on targeted areas and that helps reduce the need to sprinkle entire areas. Several buckets a day keep all of the potted plants happy also.
