I need to finish painting the spare bedroom. I‘ve made it around to the headboard wall, so need to take everything off the bed and move it away from the wall.

Also need to continue gathering things for the Goodwill box and put it in my car so I can drop off the next time I’m in the vicinity. I take a few boxes every couple of weeks.
 

The usual but I am trying to increase my walking time from half a hour to an hour at a time. So far I can only do 45 minutes ☹️, then my legs just say no. Hopefully by the end of the month I can walk a straight one hour which, at my walking rate, would be two miles. Currently I walk 1.7 miles.

The longer I can walk, the faster I can get all my walking done. Haven’t lost any weight but I am building up the muscles in my legs so I suppose that good. In October, I start trying to walk up stairs. The right leg is still too weak for this, taking so much longer for the stupid hip to heal.
 

I've been "binge" watching the season 1-3 reruns of the Yellowstone series....glued to the TV Sat/Sun, and in a few minutes, most of today. Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends we stay home and let the "weekenders" fight the traffic.
 
Yesterday......mowed the front yard......did some garden cleanup, ready for garbage pick up.
Checking the butternut squash every 30 minutes to see how much they're growing......;):)
Today.....garbage pickup.....usual mornings chores.....need to do some errands.....what else ?????????
Checking the squash. :):):)

Are you checking the squash for little baby bugs? 😂
 
I almost circled part of the Rio Grande Valley in about an hour. Finally home. Ran errands that I've been putting off. Last time I sent hubby on an errand, he bought me a huge supply of peanut butter crackers. I don't need 32 of those things.

And I think I am losing my hearing as I couldn't understand what people were telling me. I kept saying, "excuse me?" OMG, that's all I needed.

I am sleepy, had a restless night.
 
took my trash bin out to the road .going to library later.then i will read while sitting on the deck.a little breezy but nice out.my cat was mad at me yesterday,i had to put flea medicine on him which he hates. he forgives me he was laying on my chest this morning purring away.!
 
It's been a gloriously hot Sunny day here today... I drove north for an hour to do some business, met with some lovely people while I was out .. and it was a gloriously lovely drive, ....there and back 🌞☀️...did some grocery shopping in a Supermarket I'd not been in before on my return journey... altho' well stocked the shelves are still showing a huge lack of Variety

9 AM Saturday. A cool day with threat of rain. Just started my first of several loads of laundry. Going to sort through my many, many books to see if there are any I am willing to part with before my move. I have loads of books. WOW>

Our last move I got rid of 20 boxes of books. Now if I pick up paperbacks once read over to the thrift store. I still have quite a few but never would have been able to house the rest in this house.
 
Instead of moving, I spent some time in the attic. I found the doors to the bookcase on my roll-top desk. All my receipts and tax returns back to the late 1990s (don't know what to do with those). Christmas decorations, boxes of miscellaneous things and hundreds of empty boxes. Will probably need to get in a clean-out service for this as well as the garage.

Speaking of the garage, I was getting my trash bin out when I saw a man walking a dog coming towards my direction. He stopped next door and the dog dumped a load on my neighbors lawn. The man looked up and saw me looking. He had the chutzpah to say, "Do you have plastic bag I could use?" I lit into him saying, "You know that dog is going to do that and you don't have a bag?" He replied, "This isn't my dog. It's my daughters and I'm walking it for her."

I lost the connection there. What difference whose dog it is? The law here is that pet owners have to pick up and dispose of pet waste. I suppose if I did give him a bag, he would have put it in my trash bin. I am wondering how involved I should get by telling my neighbor what happened. I can't prove anything excpet a description of the man and dog.

What about some Voltarin cream? I believe it's an arthritis cream.

Or Ben Gay. That really helps w/pain. I've used it a time or two on my neck, and it helps calm things down so you can sleep.

@debodun
One would think this man's daughter would have supplied him with poop bags. Hopefully, she abides by the the "stoop 'n scoop" bylaw.

So you didn’t give him a bag? 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️😮☹️
 
Paying bills. Finish all my retirement ppwk. Have to turn in my badge Friday.

Watered this morning. Bought a couple of gardenia shrubs, making sure I put them in the right spot, so as not to kill them. I have a few bags of soil I want to spread around my magnolia trees where the roots are showing.

I'm ready for a nap!, but I want to get this done before it gets too hot.
I also bought some zinnias that I have to find a place for. My soil is so hard, it's hard to plant anything in the ground.

Off I go.....🚶‍♀️
