@hollydolly

From what I've seen of your photos, your windows wind outward. I had the same windows in my former house. They were actually easy to clean, but I did have to lean quite far outward to clean them.

Be careful!

My MIL didn't wait until she was gone. She had a huge yard sale before she moved to Florida. The things that didn't sell, she boxed up and sent to me, without telling me. One day, UPS delivered what looked like a ton of boxes. I put them in the basement, and when I finally got around to unpacking them, it was mostly junk. I did save a huge silver platter, which I use to feed ground-feeding birds when it snows. I think it's actually silver-plated. And my husband went through it all, too. I don't remember what he saved, but there were some things he wanted.

Well, that was a sneaky way to get rid of stuff!!! 😂

Unfortunately, my Mom can't bear to part with anything. She has multiple stashes of old used plastic grocery bags...in case she needs one someday! 😲

I'm just happy that I finally see what is going on, and am doing something to avoid going down the same path. Honestly, it's starting to feel good when I see that an "empty spot" has opened up in a closet or cabinet. I still have a looong way to go, but it's a start!
 
Had a restless night last night and finally gave up the ghost at 5 AM. There are a few minor chores on the agenda including baking the bread with the dough I started yesterday. With a forecast high of only 82° and an overnight low of 63°, I won't need the AC today even with the oven at 450° for a couple of hours while the bread bakes this evening. I might even go a little wild and bake a couple of batches of biscotti!

Today, Tues and Weds will have highs in the 80s, then back to the 90s again. At least all the overnights will be in the 60s, so my fans can bring in cool overnight air.

@Pepper, how are you feeling?

Exactly Pinks.. they are very easy to clean, but to get the outside clean you do have to hang right outside .. ok downstairs but scary upstairs.
 
First, @Pepper I must have missed it, do you have covid or is something else going on?

I am just going to stay in, can't take the heat. I have ribs in the oven low and slow. Going to make cole slaw with my MILs dressing recipe and some other veg, have not decided on what yet. Made fresh dough for dinner rolls.

Not the good times I had when young but at least a good dinner.

I actually slept last night like a normal person, bed at 10:30, up at 7:00. Hope that continues. Happy 4th to all.
 
I have been lucky and have not had it yet but I have limited exposure. I am sure you have put it here but what problems are you having? I have tests here but I have not had to use them. Are you running a temp? Sore throat and coughing?
 
I hate to hear that. I too willy rally when I have the chance to spend time with my grandson.

I also am not one to get a fever, I think I have only had one since my son was born 34 years ago. It is difficult when you feel so bad and don't run a fever. The docs think we have lost our minds. NO, we are sick, our bodies are just not fever prone. My doc finally gets it. I think if I got a fever I would be straight to the ER because it be so unusual for me.
 
Heat advisory in effect here today. I had planned to grill a pork roast that I have been marinading but may just cook it in the oven. I’ve got summer squash and slaw as sides and peach cobbler for dessert. Will do my usual Monday chores - laundry, etc. Wish I was sitting on the deck of a beach house with the sea breeze blowing drinking an adult beverage and reading a good book. Sigh…not to be on this day.

OMG, please do get a window cleaner!!! The day I had the carpel tunnel release surgery last year, they had me come back in a couple of hours. The surgeon apologized stating they'd had an emergency. Guy fell off his ladder!

A neighbour fell through off the ladder while cleaning the windows. It wasn’t very high but the fall was very serious. She‘s not even 60 and was quite fit. Hire a cleaner once a year and then only maintain the low level windows.

yes well.. I was inside the house cleaning the outside of the windows..only on a small ladder in the house, but of course, I'm much higher on the ladder so it's very easy to fall through the window.. I think about it every time I clean the windows.

Having had 2 serious falls from heights in the last 2 years ( not cleaning windows) , I should know better .. so yes I'll see what I can do about getting a window cleaner.. (y)

What I did today was sit around like a slob, except I went grocery shopping, then I came home to slob some more. I enjoyed it. I'm thinking I'll do it again tomorrow but without the shopping.

Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
We had visitors at work, some new clients, later they would be taken to lunch, I skipped the lunch.

One of our managers told me not to come in looking like I had just stepped out of Savile Row. That in mind I didn't wear a suit.

Today a rep from the Visiting Nurse service came to start the set up for my post op services.
Also, yesterday, I was sitting in common area and a neighbor who knew I had surgery and I chatted, as she will be going in to get her knee done. Wanted to know who my doc was, where I went for rehab, etc. So we compared notes for a bit.

Lord have mercy, @horseless carriage, I’d be tickled pink to see an employee who’s a snappy dresser like you come to work! He afraid you’ll show up the guests? Good grief 😕
 
I realized early today that I have lost my mind. I was looking on the computer and a picture popped up. I got really scared because I thought it was my nephew. He had the covid and needed a double lung transplant. I talked to him a week ago and he seemed ok. The picture turned out to be Chuck Norris. My nephew was always mistaken for him and got many free things like meals and hotel stays even though he showed them his real ID they didn't believe him so I even got mistaken today.

I will take that as a compliment, thank you. The blazer and hat were hanging up when our guests arrived, they hardly got noticed, even though I am the only hat wearer. What caused a stir was my shoes, I didn't think to photograph them today, but I do have a previous photo so that you can see what the fuss was about.
These are the shoes:

This is that previous photo:

And this is the original 1920's photo that inspired my choice.
It took a lot of searching to find a cordwainer to make them.
