11am and all done. Yup. The garden has been tended, flowers deadheaded and watered. Lawn watered. Cleaned up the stovetop from the breakfast mishap. The Hovel has been tidied, and so have I. Laundry has been...laundered...and the jeans and dark stuff are in the dryer. The light colors dried, folded, hung up/put away.

Now accepting congratulations, kudos, medals and pats on the back.

I'm nothing if not virtuous. And humble, too, of course ;)
 
@Pepper and @Georgiagranny, family estrangements are brutal no matter how they come about. My heart goes out to you both.

I learned how to let go of estrangement pain and anguish from a dear friend who was extremely spiritual but not at all religious. With hopes that it will be helpful, I'll PM each of you the steps I took to find peace.

It might seem "new age" and weird, but it worked for me despite my deep skepticism. Soothed my anger, brought me peace, and kept me from repeatedly licking old wounds.
 

Today is a MUCH BETTER day! made the AM trip to the chiropractor after a miserable day yesterday. Discussed what was not working; he suggested the Epley maneuver, which was on my list. Well!! Much more relief from nausea/dizziness!! Yayayayayay.

Went for a pedicure, picked up some groceries, and now catching up on emails, correspondence, and sipping on ginger/cinnamon tea.

Y'all have a lovely day!
 
Went grocery shopping to get it out of the way before I had to deliver meals. There was a new person in the kitchen and she shorted me 4 "cold bags" (contains the dessert and carton of milk) although there were enough hot meal trays. I told her when I got back and she looked in the fridge and there they were - the bags must have gone into some other route's hamper and were returned as being in excess.

I am also trying to recover a computer from a crash yesterday. Apparently a keyboard key got stuck down, easy enough to fix, but it crashed the browser and erased my cumulative scores in Wordle - probably other sites, too. Luckly I have a spare keyboard, but it's taking me some getting used to - my old one was cream colored and this is one black and smaller - I'm hitting wrong keys since I'm so used to the other one.
 
Still struggled with the thingie this morning. managed to split the wood and gave up. Handyman stopped by, told me I needed a drill and once I get the drapery and valances finished he will come and hang them. I tried and failed .....bummer

Air quality is so bad we are not getting mail delivery, the post office has said they will not have their people delivering in this smog. Holding it till air clears.

And Riley managed to break the liquid soap container into the sink. What a mess, scooped up what I could and ran the rest down the drain, bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles. He just had to pull this stunt with a full load of soap.

It has just been that kind of day. An early and I do mean early glass of wine.....who says ya gotta wait till 5 o'clock
 
Just got back from a hair cut. Will be able to go longer for next appointment because there’s not much left. Another hairdresser was there and she was showing off her new puppy, a miniature Australian sheep dog with the bluest of eyes. Ahhhh.
 
Extra hot today. Not much to do outside. I have however decided to return to Arkansas, bring my backhoe, and clean the house site. We will then decide whether to build another house there, or go the easy way with a manufactured one. Had a friend check the site out and I'm afraid some of the tree's will have to come down. (too burnt to recover) :(

Big decisions for you and the Mrs, @squatting dog. How long does it take to move your equipment from Florida to Arkansas.

Well, It's 900 miles away and I'll go up with the backhoe and stay in our other motor home. (finally a use for two, I had left one set up on another piece of our land). :) Wife isn't ready and doesn't want to see the destruction of our dream up close. (won't even look at the pictures). Can't blame her... this happened 8-2022 and took me this long to consider doing something with the property. Having to cut down those tree's really hurt's.

@squatting dog , assuming you DO decide to rebuild in AR, will you try to replicate what you had? Or will you change to an enirely new houseplan? Larger or smaller? What would Mrs. Dog want?
 
This evening will celebrate!

Needed to have my old 2007 Forester state vehicle registration plus a smog test done by this coming Sunday but last week all 3 auto shops I brought it to could not communicate with my vehicle computer from their state smog test machines. :( So Monday brought my Forester down to the dealership I bought it from used in 2009 expecting after reading stuff on car web sites $$$$ pain. Instead today drove it home with all ok and out only $192 total including all the smog certificate stuff. Well also drove it locally 140 miles yesterday to set the ECM monitors so some gas costs too. My brakes have become increasingly squeaky so thought the pad wear indicators had worn down pointing to a $$$ brake job next week. But the dealer apparently secretly fixed it for free maybe with lubrication or a minor caliper adjustment as not the tiniest squeal driving home! :)

Heat wave moving in with temperature 89F now and 95F forecast Saturday. So Saturday planning to drive the 55 miles up to the north San Francisco shoreline tourist zone and enjoy my day walking streets there where forecast shows just a sunny 73F.

:unsure: Really not sure if I have it in me to grow another house out of the ground. (building from ground up is a lot of labor). If I do, I imagine it would be the same plan as the original because we loved it the way it was. It was and is us. (hard to believe from NYC folks ehhhh?) ;)
 
I've been continuing my "sorting through everything" task with the goal of clearing out things that have been stored away for years. Meanwhile, my little "co-worker" took a leisurely nap in one of her favorite spots, just below one of the air-conditioning vents :)

@Leann That's a very productive-appearing co-worker you have. How much money do they make, doing that essential job I see?

@Georgiagranny
I look forward to finding that post everyone's talking about of yours, on another day, when I am able!

I have only been able to look at some of these posts, tonight, but want to say hello to ALL of you.

Very difficult week, for me, but have made it through this one, and so far, so good, for DH.
I hope to be able to drop by again, in the next few days.
 
We visited today the San Bernardino Mountains that can be seen from Los Angeles.

Big Bear Lake, 6.743 feet (2.055 m) above sea level; during the breeding season, you can watch live an eagle pair 24/7 at
Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest | Friends of Big Bear Valley OR https://www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagles

On the northern site of the mountains above about 7,000 feet

In winter can go snow skiing in the mountains and water skiing in the ocean on the same day in Southern California.

Mt. San Gorgonio 11,503 ft. (3,506 m) as seen from Onyx Summit 8,443 ft. (2,573 m) the highest mountain pass in SoCal.

Last April we still could see plenty of snow even on the sun exposed southern side of the mountains
