Yeah, it was. No not too disturbed. I was with Blair for 15 or 20 minutes after he died. So, I know.
As I said I was with a friend and her mom on Saturday and I think that is what prompted the dream. The friend's mom is in an assisted living home and she was a little worse than the last time I saw this lady. There was lots of talk of my mom and another lady that I knew. So. >>shrug<<

Today is forecast to be 86F, but the next 9 days are supposed to be between 80F and 85F even if just BARELY below 85F on one day. Oh blessed heat relief!

All the below deck structural repairs are done and the visqueen is down. 
Unless something changes, my friend should be coming back Monday night to start putting the floor down.
Few hours left of daylight, and I should probably get more work done with the warm days almost behind us, but I'm absolutely wrecked. Going to do some grocery shopping and relax the rest of the night.

That's A LOT of work!!! Rest! Not only do you deserve it, you need it!

Meanwhile, at this end ... chipping away .... managed to fill three large and four medium-sized boxes of giveaway items. St Vincent de Paul is going to get those. Also filled a 30-gal bin with paper recycling and somewhat less of trash. Am keeping the Rotel turntable (to sell) and a complete china set (to sell). Am going thru the home office now, finding and giving away/recycling whatever needs to be recycled. Our fair city has a paper-shredding oppty soon so personal papers will be shredded there, I think. I'm of the opinion that unless things actually cross the perimeter outbound, the house will never be decluttered. If we don't get rid of stuff, we're just shuffling it around.
We just ordered a new faucet and drain for the sink. As I mentioned, hubby (with some help from me) managed to remove it and saw off the old fittings (corroded in place) without breaking the sink, so we can clean it up, replace the the fittings and put in back in place. ... we know it fits because that's where it came from.
Also sanded and refinished the top of a dresser that had been in the guest bedroom.
It's kinda scattershot, but things ARE getting done.

Nice work. Get all that shit you don't need out of there!
Just make sure that you actually do sell that Rotel turntable and the china set, otherwise it's just more junk holding you back. I kept heming and hawing about a lot of stuff that I know I could have made money on, but when I decided just to let it all go instead I feel so much better that it's just gone and out of my life. Just this week, I remembered the two totes of old records my mom and step dad gave me that half of them had mold on them from being in their basement. All of those are in the trash now and being picked up tomorrow. I even threw away the old turn table without even bothering with goodwill this time. Just junk getting in my way at this point.
On my end, I just had the most physically intense day yet. Using the 20lb sledgehammer my step dad gave me, I pulverized the 10" deep by 7" wide concrete border between the pavers and the grass so I could bury it all, and I had to spend quite a bit of time digging all of the mud around it so I had a place to bury it. I also got another 40 to 50 pavers up. Just got a little more than 70 of them left.
I'm in quite a bit of pain tonight from about 200 swings of the sledgehammer. But no time for relaxation tomorrow. It's going to start raining tomorrow night. I need to have the rest of the pavers up and everything properly graded before rainfall. The following day will rain all day, but I'm sure I can find something to do since it's the last warm day before the bottom falls out.
Saturday is a high of 52. I think I'm going to sleep all day on Saturday. :)

Dd scraped paint from one bathroom wall (for some reason it was peeling badly, but just on that one wall) and from one portion of the vanity. One of the layers looks like it might be lead paint so we were very careful to clean up with TSp and take showers afterwards. Tomorrow we'll clean the old sink and dry-fit the fixtures. I'll spackle the walls in prep for paint and chip off the thin-set and scrape the countertop tiles so they can be re-installed. (a dozen or so came up with the sink.) I think that'll be about as much as I'll be able to do in one day, considering dinner prep and all. After that, I need to take a day to sort thru all of the bills and make sure that hubby, dear daughter and I will have medical insurance next year! (open enrollment)
All of the giveaway stuff is out at the curb. The house is slowly looking less cluttered.
On a sad note, hubby's Tormek grinder motor gave up the ghost while he was re-grinding some plane blades that got beat up. He found a lead on a replacement motor and will call about delivery times tomorrow.

BRENDA, been having crazy dreams myself, about people I used to work with, days when I was a kid etc. Maybe it's the changing seasons bringing it on.
