Ohio:

Five weeks till Hardi arrives for vacay-- I'm getting ready and can't wait to see him (and see how much stronger I may have gotten).

Yesterday the house alarm did an odd thing. I'll call the provider to inquire.

Five hours sleep last night with murdering-me nightmares, fun. An hour to snack and watch a real (TV) murder (nailed the whole premeditation in the first 5 minutes!), with a power bar (short calories ydy), then 3 more hours lovely, cold sleep.

Planned for today-- fold/stow/wash laundry; start organizing for Weds. substitute cleaner, who will:
. Clean sideboard w flax soap so I can wax and cover it (Horde damage to top);
. Help remove extra kitchen rug to LL (2nd pr of hands to pull out from under sideboard);
. Help remake mattress and re-dress bed (add 4" foam to rotated king camper mattress)
. If time left, help carry in bookcase parts (to assemble next week with Brittney).

Just made first trip out to garage thru rising heat/humidity. Also carried out glass-pack box emptied recently.

Net: camper king linens brought in to wash for use Weds. (washer going now), and my nearly-Horde-emptied pink toolbox for needed screws left in it. And found screwdriver! And safety glasses! Will use toolbox to containerize my cordless drill/driver they kindly left, plus misc hardware awaiting kitchen-table sorting-- one box from last Weds. is holding all the misc hardware the Horde left. Some mine; some they'd acquired.

Before sitting, I added a screw needed for the 4th clothes-hook I'd installed in the BR last week.

Hoping Judy accepts my dinner invite for her last day tdy, at the local garden center that's abruptly closing tmrw so its owners can retire. She needs that job, is older than I, and has been killing her bones to complete the two weeks notice employees were given, in hopes of a nice severance bonus. Hard use of a master gardener!

I don't know how much more I can get done today and still be able to do dinner later-- and I offered to drive or deliver so she can start meds right away. Most days the multiple posts here reflect how I'm surprising myself with being able to tackle more each day; I've only miscalculated once so badly that I needed the good drugs myself! ;-)
