Good to hear. Sounds like you got to it before you really tweaked it.

Blessed with three straight days in the 50's*.

The last two were sunny and warmish in the morning until around 1PM and then rained and felt like it dropped 15 degrees. Those afternoons weren't any colder than the weekend where I worked 11 and 8 hours, but they were a mental shut-down and not much got done after the cold came in. Today is 57, but it's already raining. Two more days in the 40's after that, and then MAYBE it starts warming up finally.


Half of the electric I still intend to do is in the attic, which I'm not looking forward to doing in any weather, and the other half is the outlet and light fixtures outside which I'm not going to be doing in the cold rain.


I think I'll take a break from electric today. I'll probably work on whittling down my lumber pile in the garage and start making some shelving units so I can get rid of those dressers out there.

There's a really good sale on mulch until Saturday, but right now I'm in no position to store it until I'm ready to use it, and I'm far from ready to do that. I might buy a bunch online which would give me 3 weeks to come and pick it up. I should be able to build all the shelving and re-arrange things in the garage to accommodate it in between other obligations by then.

Perfect!

Over here, tomorrow 92, then 97, 97, and 88.

DEFINITELY indoor work!

Yesterday daughter had what I consider a good meet with a sleep specialist neuro.

Today I called our tax guy, they will file for extension for us while we get our papers together. YAY! One less thing for me to do.

Tomorrow I will
scan and email some documents for our insurance agent
re-ask that an application be re-emailed to me, since it passed expiry and timed out.
pay some bills online and
answer some emails re: daughter's volunteer program.
Make up a menu and grocery list for Thurs.

It doesn't sound like much but between that and walking the dog (early!!) and cleaning up the kitchen and making b'fast and dinner, that will take all day. In fact, it will proll take more than one day.

No, you have a full day and that is good.

My corner of BC is sitting at 8C right this minute which is around 46F. Good for this time of the morning in Spring. No rain in sight for the next day or so. Which is also nice.

Yeah, I try not to let sore muscles go without treatment from heat as then I can stiffen up so much that I can't hardly move. That is not a good thing.

Out for meds refill. Seizure to be specific. At least I don't need an umbrella.

Monitor wants to over heat. Gotta find something to use to keep that from happening.

Oh I understand! Truly demotivating!
