We got back home, last evening, after spending a few days in Denver....attending my Sisters funeral, and visiting with relatives I haven't seen in years. It was almost a relief to see Sis go to a better place after suffering from extreme Dementia for the past year or two.

Now, do some chores and take my mind off this, and hopefully return to normal.

I am so sorry about the loss of your sister. Even so that she has gone to a better place it is never easy to lose someone. Prayers for you and your family.
 
All done with my vases/fairy lights/kitchen cupboards for today. They are up and in place. May have to tweak the lights a bit but won't know till night time. I like to look from my recliner in the evening to the kitchen and see those lights. They make me smile. I know I am weird. But color is my thing and the vases reflecting the lights seem magical at night.

Now to see what other stuff I can get into.

this is absolutely the thing to do... make things that please yourself .. I've come to realise this late in life, have things that please you, especially when you live alone, surround yourself with things that bring you joy and pleasure
 
I was holding on for 30 minutes to re-certify my Access A Ride, spoke to a worker who put me on hold for the same amount of time and I'm still not positive about the results. I will spend the day screaming.

Also in terrible upper back pain so bad I can't straighten up and my hands & head keep shaking. I'm a mess today. I probably don't have the strength to scream. Today feels like a lost day. Hopefully, I'll recoup.
 
Where did I get the bright idea that trimming the azaleas would be an hour's worth of work? Got one done, and it took an hour. One. Tomorrow is another day.

ETA: There are 20 azaleas out there. They're supposed to be pruned as soon as they're done flowering. Mmhmm.

It's hot. My daddy used to say there were only two temperatures in the South in summer: hot and hotter. So far we're only at hot.

Today is usually a day off. Wrong. Supervisor had to go in at midnight to start monthly inventory. Our college student was there this morning, too, so we managed. Supervisor finished and left at 10. I had to leave at 10:30 for dental appointment. College student was there, merrily working along making dozens upon dozens of cookies.

Tomorrow? Since the computer kicked out the schedule, I'm off, but that would leave only our supervisor to work on a busy, busy day. The store's specials start on Wednesday, and all the displays have to be set up and ready to go by 6am. I'll probably go in around 7ish and work for a couple of hours. I don't get why the store is all about accommodating the hourly employees with whatever it is that our little hearts desire but doesn't give a rat's rear whether the first line managers burn out or not. Go figure.

Saw the oral surgeon at noon. He pronounced me well on the way to being healed and gave me a couple of helpful hints to speed it along. Yay.
 
Trying to shorten some slacks,,keep getting side tracked.
Mac wanted his walk,, but doesn't like the rain or getting his feet wet.:oops:

Reheating lunch for us,, cleaning up after that,, another dog walk.
I pulled a few weeds ,,clumps of dirt came up with them,, gave that up.

Back by house, noticed the lone strawberry plant I saved last Fall is blooming.

Some weeds sneaking onto the wood chips by the strawberry plant ,, pulled the weeds up.

Is it nap time?

Well here she is all clean, and brushed out, and back on duty checking for chipmonks. If I ever need a hair shirt I should have no issues with her around. After I got her done, spent an hour vacuuming, and cleaning up the scene of the crime in the bathroom.

Gave my furbaby a bath today, too. She's double-coated and her shedding is epic. She has a longish white coat which is going to get trimmed back when she goes to the groomer's later this month. I have to brush her daily and vacuum the floors twice a day. It's crazy but she's worth it. Your pup looks very sweet and happy.

Condolences for the loss of your sister, @Don M. may you enjoy good memories of happier times
 
Good morning, boys and girls. Are we all in our places with bright shiny faces?:)

Wouldn't you know? I don't need to be at work until 7ish, but my eyes slammed open at 4:15. I slept wie ein Baby at last since the oral surgeon fixed the denture problem yesterday. Yay. A good night's sleep is a true blessing!

Remember I said only two temps in the South in summer...hot and hotter? Today is gonna be hot. Tomorrow is gonna be hotter and actually break a record for earliest summertime high temp. Other people will say it's not summer, that it's still spring, but that's not the case here. It's been summer for weeks!

After the azaleas were in shade later yesterday afternoon, I pruned another one. Another hour's worth. There are 20 of them. I should be done by Zeptuber 32!

Getting up earlier than necessary gives me time to dawdle so I'm off to dawdle:D
