Went out for my first run since surgery. Short and good. No pain issues.
A/C died last night, and it is a new unit, no less. Called in for repair and a very nice C/S person got the info. Tech came out early, got it up and running (bad flow switch) and put in an order for a tech to come back this week and replace a coil that he thinks has a small leak. All of this for free, as the unit and all parts/repairs are under warranty. Yay us. Something I don't need to pay for, for a change. We just spent money on a critter removal service to get the moles out of the yard (it's working!) I did laundry, vacuumed the floors/rugs and cleaned the ceiling fans so far today.

busymom How's your DD's house coming along? Is she actually living in it yet? What has transpired re the furnace? Well, let's just say the inspection company is worthless. She is going to have to buy a new furnace. She's fighting to try & get her inspection money back, but at this point I don't know if that'll happen. Of course, I expect they'll get a poor rating on whatever website is public. I mean, they missed a gas leak. Really?!? Maybe that's why people are skipping out on requiring inspections to be done before closing on a house. If you can't rely on the inspections, it's just an expensive waste of money.

I'm home, much fast trip when I'm not hauling the trailer. Actually I was very glad I wasn't hauling the trailer this morning it was windy in the gorge, which is a frequent occurrence. I texted DD when I got home and she told me that DGD was quite concerned that Grandma forgot her trailer. DD and I both agree it works out very well for me to stay in the trailer at her place. I have my own space and I bring some of my own meals.
I scored major Grandma points last night by staying home and watching DGS2 instead of going to the fair with them. They enjoyed the time with the two older ones, DD was glad she didn't have to take the baby out in the heat. They went to the rodeo and it was loud and dusty. I stayed home with Mr. Smiles, DGS2 has more smiles, and he was asleep for the night by 7:30. This allowed me to have a quiet evening reading my book and avoiding all the rampant non-maskers, non-vaxers in a crowded area.

@missrigby here is a good roomba story for you. My grandkids frequently sleep on the floor, DD's take on it is they are sleeping so who cares. One day during nap time she turned the roomba loose and didn't realize it had gone into the kids room. I guess it woke DGD up and scared her to death. Now the poor kids is afraid of the vacuum.

OMG! How is it possible to miss a gas leak? As for the furnace, if it was in such bad shape that it has to be replaced, how did that get missed? Chihuahua! I can understand missing or even ignoring the small stuff, but things as big and dangerous and possibly deadly as a gas leak and a dead/defective furnace? Nope! Sharon That's funny but not funny Poor DGD. See? Now you know what I told a client that it was either Roomba or me, that we were not going to live in harmony even for a mere 4-5 hours once a week.

Today has been an interesting day. I had a kitty laying in the flower bed and when I opened the patio door it didn't run away but instead ran towards me meowing. It looked like the kitty on the lost poster that was tacked up on the corner. I ran up to the corner and got the number and dutifully texted them that their kitty was in my yard and sent them my address. It said the text had been read but nothing. About 4 hours later I took a picture and sent it to them. I got an oh good is she in your yard. I said yes in the backyard. Radio silence, not we will be by after work to get her or anything. I went out this evening to get some gas and noticed that the lost poster had been removed. A co-worker had told me that if the people didn't come get her she would take her. So I will be giving my unknown neighbor's cat away in the next couple of days. She is very thin but just wants to be petted and loved on. I put out some food so she would stick around and fixed up a box with a towel in it. She doesn't seem to like the box though.

Oh my goodness, Sharon! Who reports a lost fur baby, then doesn't bother to come & get it? No wonder that poor baby was looking for a new home. I got my backordered lamps delivered today, and I just LOVE them.

Sounds like they dumped the kitty. It makes no sense to put up posters and when kitty is found, to ghost the finder but remove the poster.
People.....

Good Morning Kids! I'm paying a company to sealcoat the driveway today. The last time DH did it, and made a mess of things. It's best left to the professionals, I think.

Hi Everybody!
Work is still busy so running in for a cuppa and thinking about a english muffin for later.
My portable AC unit arrived yesterday and I hope to have it hooked up in the next day or so. We have 80+ weather arriving next week and I would really love to be comfortable and able to sleep.

Probably put up posters to make any family members, ie. kids spouse, etc happy and thinking everything is being done to find kitty. Hopefully kitty will find a better home this time.

Kitty Update- She is still a resident of my backyard. The owners have never shown up and haven't had any further contact. My co-worker who had hoped to take the kitty her husband said no, they already have two other cats and he said that was enough.

Are you going to keep her or take her to the Humane Society.
It's obvious the owners do not care.

These are for NancysSummerSip... Good Afternoon Kids! I had to exchange one of my new lamps. I don't know why we're having so many problems, as we've bought from this furniture store many times in the past. Don't know whether to blame defects on Covid, or what. There are some possible heavy storms headed our way. Frankly, I don't care. We need rain here so badly, we'll take what we can get. We're trying to save our lawn, but I see a lot of seeding in our future, so, you know what one of my September projects is going to be.

Good Morning Kids! Unfortunately, most of the rain actually missed us last night. I was looking forward to some heavy, or at least steady rain, and we're lucky if we got a quarter inch. Oh well, back to watering...

We received 3/4 of an inch of rain. No wonder the sump pump is running. I just wish it wasn't so cloudy still.
I don't water my lawn nor do my neighbors. My parents never watered their yard. I have one neighbor around the corner who is watering because they put down seed and it has to be watered. They are the ones who put in a pool last year. Because of the problems with lumber and concrete, it didn't get finished until late spring. They finally got the driveway poured and are getting the grass growing.

Hiya peeps! Meet went as well as I thought it would, considering it is my first since surgery.
Making pizza tonight using one of those cauliflower-based crusts. They are actually not bad.

Good Afternoon Kids! I suspect DD might be a bit lonely, as she stopped here after church to join us for lunch, and never left until it became time for us to start thinking about dinner, LOL. It WAS a nice afternoon, just the kids hanging out , & watching DVD's together.

Thought maybe I should check in. The cat's owners came and picked up the cat, she was back on my back deck within half an hour and has pretty much been there ever since. The owners live across the street and down about 5 houses. I picked up the food and water I had set out while she was gone in hopes that she would go back home, doesn't seem to be working. The no kill shelter in our area is full and I don't really want to take her to the humane society, for one they charge something like $40 to take in an animal, two she is a nice tame kitty who just needs a good home. I'm just not in a position to take in another cat right now. Oreo is a very dominant cat and is happiest in a single pet household. She isn't happy as it is that this other cat is hanging out on the back patio. Mom had some medical issues on Sunday and apparently called the doctors on Monday. They told her to go to ER which she ignored. I only found out about it because I just happened to call her last night to visit.
