What are you doing today?

So I was going to wait to mow the lawn until it was shady later this afternoon. Meh. It's not particularly hot yet (93) and only takes about 10 minutes. It has been mowed. Maybe it's not particularly hot yet, but I sure am!

What'll I do now? Really should vacuum. Okay. I'll do that and use up another 10 minutes, but then what? It's too early to start supper.

I have a feeling...just a feeling...that DGD has already quit her new job. Right. We'll see. DD is working at her turned-into-two-half-days-a-week job so I won't know anything until she gets home. Heck, even if DGD did already quit the new job, she has a spiffy new wardrobe. None of the slacks are ripped out at the knees, and there are no more bordering-on-the-obscene logo t-shirts.

I'll be back in 10 after the vacuuming is done.
 
I'm going to drive down to the village and buy 10 gallons of diesel (I'm dreading to learn the current price) and then mow the blueberry field. Gotta keep the grass cut so the deer can get to the bushes more easily don'tcha know. My place is absolutely lousy with blacktail deer this year so in actuality I am tempted to just give up on the blueberries and start selling venison and bunny meat instead.
 
Well. DGD didn't quit. I could feel something wrong, though. Turns out that her BF came over last night and broke up with her. She's beyond devastated. However...she's been beyond devastated before. Often.

Whenever there's been a new BF in the picture, DD has gone on and on about how great he is, yada yada yada. I haven't been impressed with any of them. Nope. Not one. Didn't dislike them, they just didn't move me. They were just...yanno?...guys. Meh.

Instructor at DGD's training class for the new job told her this morning that she didn't need to stay after break because she's so far ahead of the rest of the class that they wouldn't be covering anything today that she doesn't already know. DD picked her up and took her back to the office with her (it's okay...small office with only the owner and DD).

Guess I'll go start supper. Nothing else to do. Yawn.

BTW, @hollydolly and @Sliverfox, when I win the lottery, I'm gonna get a riding mower that has an air conditioned cab, converts to a vacuum, and can climb stairs. I'll get one for each of us.
 
Glad I get to go to work this morning because I got so bored yesterday that I could hardly stand it...and spent most of the afternoon and early evening eating. Yup. I was cramming food in with both hands...like just about anything that wasn't nailed to the fridge or cupboards.

Okay. Enough monkey business. Gotta get dressed and get my arse in gear. Croissants and bolillos and Italian bread and raisin bread and mountains of cookies, muffins, coffee cakes and more await.

The temp is going to hit 100 or more today.
 
This afternoon I have an appointment with my primary care doctor. Just a yearly physical thing. So not doing too much this morning as I do not want my feet to be too swelled up by the time I have to make that long ride. Cleaning my bathroom is on my list. This morning so far just having my morning coffee and trying to learn how to use Terminal to install programs on my computer. Rabbit enjoyed his morning banana and is now napping.
 
Sat outside for a while this AM, enjoying the breeze and birdsong…. Then the yard crew came along with mowers and weed-eaters so it was back inside 😕. Picked up a cinnamon-roll latte at the coffee shop and collected newly-reframed print from the frame shop. Plan to spend time with my Prince Among Men, then I will have supper with my good friend, Rosenda this evening
 
My son starts his summer vacation Friday. During summers he works from home on Zoom. Today I am watching my grandson, but my personal services will not be required until September. I promised my grandson a new Monster Truck School Bus, so when I pick him up we will go to a toy store. At least unless it's raining.

He has too many toys, IMO, but he loves each & every one.
 
It's racing towards 4pm... I've been painting the fences in the blazing heat all afternoon... and I've had to stop and come in because I'm soo hot and my back is breaking... , but I've got most of it done just some trellises to finish another day...

I just got off the phone with my sweet cousin.
She is 8 years younger than me and always got picked on
because most of my aunts didn't think she was as pretty as her sister. who joined Scientology and gave $50,000 to them so they would help her commit suicide.
I adored her from when she was born. If she liked one of my toys I gave it to her.
A few months ago she mentioned a wooden dog house with the family member's name
on every dog that I had.So I bought her one with one condition that she was too perfect to
ever be in the dog house. She called to tell me she is going to be a Grandmom in January.
I am so happy that she will get a baby to love and who will love her too.
 
I am off to see the old cemetery and then head over to Dyea to see what there is to see. I still haven't had my coffee but maybe after Dea I might find some. Oh, got to line up for the Alaskan Ferry that promises me to take me to Haines. Looks like I'm going to be there for a while. I hope the hotel is good but today you never know?

Checked in at the airport, getting ready to head home. Sure had a good time in CO Springs with my daughter. Now for more ppl watching… such a fascinating pastime ! 😆

People watching at airports is always interesting to me. Wondering about their life story, where they from, where they are going. My imagination can create entire stories about them and it is the best entertainment going while trapped waiting to get back into a flying tube.
 
I have just had shower and got my hair in rollers for the first time despite the thumbless wonder hand.
Been two months now and finally free of dressing but I keep it covered at the stump. Can't bear to look at it yet.
Now waiting for referral appt call on eyebrow pimple.....will give it another week, then I will start 'screaming'...

I was able to get two one-hour naps yesterday so I was in good shape by the time everyone showed up.

Our overnight company just left. Was great to see him again.

The fridge is loaded with enough salad bar leftovers to last DH and me today and probably tomorrow.
