So sorry NancysSummerSip Dementia is a horrible disease to watch your loved one suffer through. I'm sorry for the loss to her husband, children and grandchildren, as well as the entire family.

We got out of the house and went couch-shopping. Nothing definite yet, but found one very good contender. And then indulged in burgers and shared a small order of fries at Five Guys.

So sorry, NancysSummerSip. Good Afternoon Kids! The cleaning fairy (me) has been working on the house. I'm amazed at how much fur our Corgi leaves, and how it migrates. And I thought Cocker Spaniels were bad. DD is planning to join us for dinner tonight. I'm letting her help with the food prep.

We're getting some rain at the moment, which isn't a bad thing; you can hardly call this the rainy season this year.
Kept dinner light tonight as I plan to run tomorrow. French toast for breakfast afterwards.

Good Afternoon Kids! We've got a serious food coma going on here. DH is off from work, so we picked today to fire up the grill, then the kids decided to toast marshmallows too. There goes my diet, at least for a couple of days...

Good Morning Kids! So far, I've been fairly productive, considering it's a long holiday weekend.
Rant: I went to our nearest large hardware store, to buy some burlap. (For those of you who have never done seeding of your lawn, you rake in the grass seed, then water the ground, and lay burlap down on top of the newly-seeded area. The burlap holds in the moisture, so the seed doesn't dry out & die. Keep watering the seeded area, & if you plant Kentucky Bluegrass, the good stuff, like I do, you should see your seed coming up in about 3 weeks.) Anyway, an employee told me they'd sold out of this season's allotment of burlap. So, I go home & shop online, and sure enough they supposedly have the burlap I'd been looking for in stock. I ordered it online, and I'll find out this afternoon if they actually have it or not when I go to pick up my order...

Hello peeps! We bought a couch and it was actually an in-stock model. I have to call the charity truck to pick up our old one before the new one gets here next week. Good riddance to that 30-year old couch. Cannot wait to see it out the door. Looking forward to a nice new throw and pillows for the new couch -- it is a two piece (two-seater couch and a chaise seat for ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Anybody need a cold drink? It is freaking hot out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the cold drinks NancysSummerSip. Some lemonade would be really good right about now. I've been working in the yard all morning and am just taking a little rest break to cool down a minute before heading out to finish up.

Yum! Thanks, @nancysummertimesip I'll take a few. Prefer pina coladas, spiked lemonade, or cosmopolitans please. Perhaps one of each? What are you having?

Major score for me today. Freddies had sunglasses BOGO. Last week I snapped off one of the ear pieces on my sunglasses and didn't really have time to go hunting for some before leaving for DD's. So I got the super glue out Friday morning and glued them back together, and to the counter top. I set them on a paper towel in case the glue ran. Well it did and soaked through the paper towel and glued them to my kitchen counter. I was able to get them unstuck. The glue also ran down to the joint where that allows the ear piece to fold down, so now it is in a permanent open position. I figured it was too late in the season to be able to find a good replacement. I just happened upon this nice clearance sale and now have two new pairs of sunglasses.

Good Afternoon Kids! I've got a doctor's appointment this afternoon. Nothing that's a big deal, just not looking forward to a long wait in their waiting room.

Won't they let you wait in your car and call you when it's time? That's what my doctor does to keep crowds down.

I am hoping when I have to have the Covid test for traveling to Canada, I can wait in the car. I'm told it's a long wait to get tested these days and I don't want to sit in an urgent care office with people who are getting tested because they think they have Covid.

TGIF!!!!
Work is work but the weather is getting cooler and I am feeling perkier on being able to deal with a few things so that is my plan this weekend. I have a mug of tea and something to nibble on for breakfast so back to papers I go.
Everyone take care!

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope your day goes well, that you're able to get things done so you can enjoy the weekend.
It was 100F here yesterday and the before. HOT! But they say it will ONLY be in the mid to upper 90s today. (I'm not sure it will be different enough for me to notice. It's all too hot.) At least I have central air in my apt and A/C in my car. I feel bad for those who either don't have A/C, or whose A/C is not working, for whatever reason. I hope everyone has power again. It has been a LONG time to be without electricity, for those who lost it during the storm.
And although gas is expensive here (I paid $3.59 gal yesterday, at Costco, for the cheapest), at least we still have access to gas. And I didn't have to wait in line for hours to get it.
Life is currently not so bad.
Enjoy!

When I called to make the appointment for the Covid test for going to Toronto, I got scheduled at an urgent care clinic. That mean parking and going in to the clinic.
I gave my sister the same number I called and she got an appointment at a drive thru clinic. Because she loves to shop, she knows exactly where it is. It's in a shopping center.
So I called back and got my appointment moved to the drive thru clinic.
