Today I will be staying home as far as I know. My bf is coming here to take my friend to the SPCA to pick up her new cat (if they tell her she can). She had no way to get there and her bf has to stay in their apartment with his cat so that when she gets there with the new one they can transition them better. Other than that, vacuuming is in my future for sure.
 

I've just got the new wax melts for my new burner. I bought Soy wax ( rather than polluting Paraffin wax melts).... night blooming Jasmine, because I have the wonderful scent of night blooming jasmine flowers by my front door in Spain .. it's my favourite scent in the world.

This one had excellent reviews, and Night Blooming jasmine isn't easy to find.. so I was fortunate to find this... and I lit the burner in the livingroom downstairs.. and it's glorious scent is now permeating up here in my office room in the far corner of the house 🌺
 
@hollydolly Hm. I'd never heard of it...looks sort of like bacon.

It's not daylight yet so I can't get started on seeding. I did throw a load of white things and sheets in the washer. I'm saving the jeans and other dark stuff until I'm done with the lawn so I can put those clothes in at the same time.

If I'm done early enough and not too tired, the cannas will get sprayed to get rid of/prevent leaf rollers and some deadheading will get done. If being the operative word!

No apart from being pork, it's nothing like bacon at all.. it's quite a tough meat and needs slow cooking... or .. as the Chinese do.. oven cook, then chop into inch cubes, and caramelize it in a frying pan..

What am I doing today…..
The change of weather every hour will decide that.
Too wet to edge grass back, too wet to mow, the grass hasn’t dried all week. Sun…shower….cloud…..shower….cold.
So…..
Going to the vet to get dog food…..get some extra fetch games with the guys outside, since the temps are cooler…..do inside stuff….washing more storage containers…..waiting for some more summer heat…..summer can’t be over yet. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨.
 
I've had all kinds of excitement around here. Monday, I was doing some work on the computer, totally oblivious to everything around me. The time was 1.30 -- I thought it was a.m.given that I'd been working for a lot of hours, so I hustled around getting ready for bed because I had a doctor's appointment. My son told me it was p.m., and I disagreed, so he told me to look out the window. Sure enough, he was right. I've never done that before.

Wednesday, my cell phone quit making calls. It still gets on the internet, and takes texts from Telegram. My daughter cancelled T-Mobile as of Aug 6, and they cut the lines immediately. She has a sim card from another carrier, so she's fine. I'm ordering my sim card today.

Same day, I went on my ubuntu computer, as usual. The wireless internet is connected, supposedly. But it doesn't work. It does work on the Windows computer. I spent hours trying to fix that, to no avail. This is partially because the computer is not connected. I decided to install Linux Mint instead, but the program to deal with the ISO won't install - no internet. By this point I am pretty frustrated.

Today the ubuntu problem will have to take a back seat. I can't keep screwing around with it. I can fix it by installing either ubuntu or another OS, but can't do it without an internet connection. The problem is, most likely, a buggy kernel (5.15 and 5.16). I dislike using Windows, but at least I have my el cheapo Windows computer to use. Otherwise, I would go insane.

In a few minutes I have to go to the dentist for a regular checkup. When I get home, I will focus on laundry, cleaning, and packing. And paying some bills, and getting reimbursed for some expenses.

I forgot, the title to my daughter's car (which I signed over to her) finally arrived, so I have to go to a town 45 minutes away to sell it. And talk to the car dealer first. Not traveling without a firm offer. So I think anyway, because there is a Honda dealer here in town, but my daughter didn't call them.
 
Got a lot more done so far, more than I suspected I would. Vacuum packed six pounds of chicken thighs. Made four batches of Keto Chow. My friend stopped in for a quick chat......well, she really came for a visit with Rabbit, bringing him a few little goodies. He is happy and napping now. Now filing some papers that had piled up once again. And making my breakfast at the same time.........bacon and scrambled eggs (the real breakfast of champions).
 
I went to town to get a few supplies and stopped off to play pool at the Senior Center! I haven't played pool in over 25 years. I walked in and there were about 6 guys playing. They were all pretty good. I was just gonna watch but I wanted to see if I could still play at all. I knocked in a few good ones, but on the whole I am definetely needing some practice before I join the "guys". It was fun. :)
 
Well. I knew it was coming, but in July? An article for pumpkin spice something or other. The "pumpkin spice" jumped off the page and into my eyes before I looked away so I don't even know if it was a recipe or maybe just an ad.

Finished the Bermuda planting by 9:30 this morning. Kids...by then it was already hot 🥵 so the only other thing that got done was spraying the cannas and roses for leaf rollers and aphids. While I was spraying I noticed that one of the rose bushes is dying. There are 25 of them. Hope it doesn't have anything contagious.
 
Busy day today, that's for sure. In work at six as usual, I will finish earlier today, in order to get home, scrub up, call our friends, drive to their place, leave the car there. All into a taxi to go to Bournemouth for a Latin cabaret styled on Miami Vice. There's a floor show, dance demonstration, buffet and a chance to strut our stuff, (show off on the dance floor.) It's a big charity fund raising jolly.
 
Today I have a hair appointment at noon so have to do my bunny's cage before that. I usually do it at 2:00 PM, but on days that I go somewhere I like to get it done earlier. The reason is after I am gone for a longer amount of time than usual I am out of energy. Especially when it is hot out.

Not much else planned that I know of. Have a great day!
