I've toyed with the idea of getting one of these but have so far opted against. I like the feeling of weight on my body as I fall asleep, but during the night I go through several cycles of covers-off, covers-on.

I do the same Star... so really regardless of whether that one I bought leaked miniscule beads all over the place, I would have dispensed with it anyway for the former reason... just too heavy. of course it's not meant for people like me.. it's supposed to be a comfort blanket for those with anxiety..
 

I will be cleaning up the yard from all of the small limbs and pine needles that came down during the hurricane. We had no significant damage since it skirting this area for the most part. I will be getting things back to normal including putting the bird feeders back up.
I will put my hummingbird feeders back up as well, even though I am not seeing any. Normally our female Ruby Throated hummingbirds head South on the night of the first full moon in Oct, with the males leaving sometime after that. But this hurricane may have altered their pattern this year.
Today is also laundry day for me, but that is an easy one since there is not much to be ironed anymore.
 
I worked for a couple of hours in the yard before it got too hot and the back gave out. I swear I'm never going to get the twigs, branches , leaves and Spanish moss raked up and bagged.

The neighbor is apparently ignoring the fact that his fence is in our back yard. He came out on his front porch this morning. I waved to him and he turned around and went back in without waving back.

We'll be glad to help him put it back up, but ultimately it's HIS fence.

Beacuse it's very difficult for me to bend down to bag up the leaves and branches due to my lower back probs.. instead of using a garden bag to rake them into.. I lay out a big Tarpaulin, and sweep it all onto that, then just tie up the 4 corners..

I’m the same holly
I have 4 cherry trees in my new place
Lots of fallen leaves
It’s really a pain to my lower back to keep bending
I’ve employed a gardener makes life so much easier xx
 
Look at this horoscope for today:

You are feeling a bit more withdrawn than usual, but that doesn't mean you need to hole up on your own. Maybe it's a good time to get together with family and just quietly enjoy each other's company.

It's fun when it's right!

Hi Charry... oh yes having big gardens are nice, but boy are they hard work. I've toyed with having a gardener, but they're so expensive around here, so while I can do it myself I will.

About the cherry trees.. I had cherry trees years ago, along with apple trees.. they look lovely when in Bloom but what a mess they make .. so I had them taken out.. I still have the Japanese Cherry Blossom but those petals don't need raking up..they just get mown up when I mow the lawn

Now I only have mature trees.. altho' the Holly tree is a PITA for leaves which it drops all year round..

yes for a long time I;ve been thinking of removing the grass and having the lawn paved over.. not in the front but in the back where the hardest work is.. but in reality it would cost a fortune.. which I can't afford.. :(
 
I'm home. You'll never guess...the store manager came by the bakery today and spent a long time wandering around, checking things out, then collared Supervisor and walked around some more, pointing at products and chatting.

After he was gone...Supervisor told me that he was full of praise for our well-stocked tables and shelves, the variety of products we had, the attractive displays, and told him that he was very pleased with the way it all looked and that we're doing a fine job.

Whaaat? Maybe he read my mind and decided that praise is far more effective than lip service about it all looking fine, but...

In Germany, we called it the big "aber" (but)... Say something sort of positive without actually praising anything, followed by criticism. A lot of criticism. What a change! How nice that our efforts have been noticed.
 
Busy should be my middle name. I have a lap top and today I got rid of a word program called "WPS Word." I replaced it with "LibraOffice" which is the same program I have on my big desk top computer. Then I made sure that the laptop could use the Wifi to print remotely to my new Brother Laser Printer. Everything works fine which is "fine" with me.
 
There are weighted blankets that advertise that they keep the sleeper cool. I dunno. Mine is just a regular weighted blanket without the "cooling" feature.
