Sounds like you got some help from the little guy in spite of himself!
Dogs have been walked (we took a different route so by the time we reached the pecans it didn't matter if we stopped for a while). Some shopping finished, mailed an eBay parcel that was delayed by the PayPal snafu. I hope it doesn't lower my perfect rating. PayPal and eBay were singularly unhelpful in getting my email corrected.
Banking changes will begin this evening, changing where my paycheck goes, etc. For now I'm going to work around the house--I'll wash some towels with a vinyl shower curtain to deal with some mildew, vacuum, etc.
