But after that project, I looked up the CDCs protocol for sterilizing hospital services, and now I do that. Basically bleach and water (of course I use more bleach than called for), and let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes.

That is what is also used at schools and Day Care centers. The State Inspectors said the important part is to let it air dry. The bad stuff dies off, during that 10 minutes.
 

Going to do a pickup order for groceries today. Getting in a limited supply of V8, canned soup, vinegar, laundry detergent - i.e. the heavy things. Every little bit will help if supplies become limited. The pantry cupboard isn’t very big. Time to organize again.
 
Well I've done all that I set out to do, got the jewellery all re-arranged into new storage trays and drawers etc.. all looks really neat and organised...

DD rang, she's decided to take the new job after all despite it not paying a pension and paying slightly lower salary... her sanity is more important...:love:
 
Well, they delivered my new bed at 7:15 this morning, so I've been washing all my bedding since then. It's 10:10 now, and I'm finally sitting and having something to eat.

I'm hoping to get outside in a little while and water and may be wash my car. I have a VW Beetle, so it shouldn't take long. I will need my step stool to reach the top though.

It's going to be a warm one today..☀️
 
I woke up at 6:40 to heavy thunderstorms and wind. It sounded loud outside, so after awhile I turned on my phone, and sure enough, tornado watch! So I woke up my daughter and she woke up the dog, and we headed for an interior closet. We were only in there for about 20 minutes.
The dog was a little anxious and kept licking my hand, but was calm physically. We don't spend much time in closets, so he was probably thinking what the heck are we doing in here? Or, maybe, you woke me up for this?

I don't recall having any tornado watches in the last dozen years. Now we've had 2 in the last couple weeks. Well, the town had another one, but it didn't effect where we lived in the country.

My daughter asked why we hadn't just gone down to the basement. Well, it's not very clean down there. And the landlord's mother's stuff is there. She collected things like old stoves and old clothing. She was a hoarder extraordinaire. I read somewhere that that may be an obsessive compulsive disorder. I just don't fancy being down there. I'm not even sure I could get up and down a flight of stairs. Plus, for all I know, there are mice down there. Sometimes they nest in stoves (under the oven).

Anyhow, all is well. I watched the storm on radar, so I was pretty sure we weren't going to have a tornado touch down at our place. The NWS sounded fairly frantic about it, though -- I get texts from them, and weather problems on my phone's app.
 
I did some reorganizing, including in my storage closet, switched the spring/summer clothes with the fall/winter in my emergency suitcase and also took time to change food items in the suitcase (ones with longer best by dates). I sorted laundry while talking on the phone with my BFF. I'm also continuing to list and pack some of the items I'll be taking on vacation. In addition, I'll be working on adding instrumentation to a track my son and I are collaborating on and catching up on my social networking.

I took my early morning walk around 6:40,the temp was 65,so I still wearing shorts with a hoodie,had a raincoat on since it was little drizzle
It started to rain about 9am,after breakfast,coming here I decided to wash both kitchen/bathroom floors with PineSol. Both rooms are small,didn't take me long
For my mid morning walk around 11;15,it was cooler outside in the 50's so I wore capri pants.
As I type this,the sun is making a late day appearance
Tonight,I plan to watch game#1 of the National League Baseball game with my favorite team/defending champs LA Dodgers play Atlanta Braves just like they did last yr
 
Back again same day WHEW! Break time.

Got the 150ft. of schedule 3/4 inch 40 pvc pipe. Control panel, All 3/4 inch fittings for shut off valves for the whole system & 1st 8 shelves. Wired the automatic irrigation control panel & plumbed the individual shut off valves for each shelf. Plumbed the feed line & shut off valve to the optional other 4 shelves. Electrical worked as hoped for. Tested the system for leaks. None yay.

Next will be the 8 individual 1/2 inch dual dripper manifolds. Considering the quantity of water needed to be supplied, having 3/4 inch supply reducing to 1/2 inch delivery there should be even distribution of water.

Kind of a lot for an 80 yr. old but I'm healthy. Can't help but think when I was younger I could have finished this in one day. But it will take a few more days to get it completed.

Might not make sense to some but for my wife to be able to control what water goes where & do what she needs.

What a good hubby you are :love:
 
About 5:30am after having a waffle, two little sausages and tea, I removed everything off the walls in the kitchen and put up the last of the painter's tape. Then had to clean off the glue residue from the Command strips, don't want to paint over that.

I took a break to check the computer, laugh at Dr. Phil's advice, and next on to put the old insurance premium papers in recycling. I may skim some mail and magazines that are annoyingly becoming a pile.

Happy Sunday everyone!
 
Forgot to turn off the alarm and was jarred awake at 4. Ugh. Finally crawled out of bed at 5 so I've been up for four hours. It's still too early to make decisions about what to do today. It might be a good idea to wash up some dishes in the sink. And vacuum. Yeah, doing that might also be a good idea. There are some things that need to be done in the flower garden. Maybe that will get done. Or not.

I'm gonna get dressed (it's cold here this morning, a nippy 46F so I'll wear something warm), make the bed, and clean Maggiecat's litter box. It's a start.

Reckon what @hollydolly is up to? She usually has fun things to report like her Adventures in the Search for Petrol.

LOL..nope, no need for the search, I have a full tank of petrol.... and today I have no plans for anything given that I cleared out and re-organised all my bedroom drawers yesterday, and re-organised all my jewellery storage in new storage containers. Got a large framed Modern Wall art , and a big bag of Clothing all ready to take with me tomorrow to Donate before I get to the hospital for my CT scan.. (y)

I've just had a pie for lunch..., and washed up. Didn't need to Vac except a quick once over in the kitchen , I vac'd all throughout the house yesterday...

It's raining so I don't need to do any gardening either... might watch some TV, and have a nap .. :sleep:
 
Since this is Sunday, I watch my church online. As going in person, the music is too loud; I can adjust it as needed. I have Meniers Diese & any real loud music sure sets it off. I get ringing in my ears & sometimes get real dizzy.

I have meds that I've been on for 20+ years, but they are not working too well anymore. I hate taking any more meds than I have to.
 
3rd.
shut off valves for each shelf. 2 port delivery manifolds for each shelf.

spare line plumbed in in case the right side will wanted. Otherwise I'll use the extra shelves to make a work bench for whatever my wife needs.

Next will be shade covering for the green house then a walking path thru the lattice shaded garden area.
