Stay safe in those winds and the heat. Are you going straight through, and do you have times of day you prefer to drive (aside from the usual avoiding driving into the sun at dawn or dusk)?

I waited to shower today until after I do a little yard work, though I was distracted from that work by a group of wasps hovering around the bed I wanted to turn over. Their nest dropped off of the front soffit (I've tried for days to be non-chemical and spray it with soapy water; remarkably they seem impervious to the wasp spray I used one time) and once it fell they started trying new spots to build. When they sting, they do it as a group, and I've been stung several times over the years. As Patty says, that's a big Nope.

In the closet this morning I evicted a half-dozen knit tops that I won't be wearing because they have cap or other very short sleeves. My arms just don't look good in those any more (one problem with losing weight!) I've ordered a couple of new colors in blouse styles with 3/4 sleeves I tried recently. Two knit tops I had lost track of (buried on the shelves) are in the laundry and I did some mending, adding buttons to one shirt that I have no idea why it was hanging up when it had lost three buttons. I also ordered a t-shirt with the graphic KAM47A (you can visualize the tilted 4 and 7 being an upside down L).

Tomorrow I'm headed out early to be the backup for an acquaintance who has outpatient surgery. They won't proceed until they know she has someone who will stay with her after because of anesthesia. She said "you can lie, I'm always ok after," but I'll take her home and spend a few hours just to be sure she is fine. She's the one whose mobility chair needs a cover to protect from door handles, so I'll start working on that here tonight and take stuff to finish by hand if need be tomorrow. I also need to get a kit of eBay essentials together for her because she has discovered her building is a dumpster diving heaven and can sell a lot of the small things she finds. Having a setup is part of being able to do it, so tape, a small scale, labels, and some shipping envelopes and padding will go in one bin. For someone living on a SSI shoestring the extra income via eBay would be welcome.
