The annual post-vacay fitness boost is in full swing. Example: an item requiring a coordinated, strong right arm overhead lift? Pre-vacay no could do. .. dropped it on my head. Post-vacay.... BAM! Annual physical Weds to measure weight loss. I was surprised, upon arrival at vacay hse, that jeans I'd left there went on at all--- expected them to be at least really tight. Loose! Then I was pretty active for 2-3 weeks so..... looking fwd to that scale!

The chores I left myself to do on return are going great guns less than 24 hours after return. A huge help this yr was the diatomaceous earth I took a minute to spread in the room the cats were left in for the catsitter's visits. No evidence anydamnwhere if fleas. Usually it's been a nightmare!

The annual MIL visit in Sept coincides this yr with a quick return trip to Ohio midmonth. This means pack for next load of stuff while doing fall's "spring cleaning." The porch will again collect items as I get to them. I brought back tge Ohio house's two 55 gal plastic bins. They have wheels. One at a time will come in to be filled.

I'm also looking fwd to the annual Trash Purge.
