Good morning!
Today will be the super hot and humid day
- getting close to 100 F and feeling like well over that with the humidity - I've got my AC and fan going already even though my indoor temp is below what I set it at - hopefully it will bring down the humidity in this house.
I got my living room painting project done
- I didn't do a complete paint of my wall, just the areas I saw marked trying to blend things in on the sides, unfortunately I can tell a little bit of a shade difference between the new paint and the old paint so I may have to thoroughly paint that wall or hire it out to get done. Overall though the wall does look better. I might try some touchup at the edge of the stairs wood to wipe out the shade difference - that's a part of the wall that people look to climb the stairs. I'm just glad to get that done!
I stopped by the hardware store yesterday to pick up a new filter for my AC and picked up some new garden lights - they look so cool! I was down to one working light from a set of 12 before. I felt kind of stupid in that I thought my boxes were missing a part - the stake that goes into the ground, but they showed me that it was put in the tube upside down so the stake part was in the tube and the plastic connector was visible. Oy! I'm just glad it worked out! Now I have 8 lights out back!
Today I might try for a walk early before the temps get up too high. I could vacuum the insides and catch up on some recorded TV also.
Laura, glad you made it to WV safely! Glad your MIL didn't get the chance to put in a hard day's work prepping for you as relieving her is what you're there for! Hope Polly is still enjoying her neighborhood there - can she get into the back porch while you're gone?
Paula, I remember doing some marches for the band in parades also and practicing outside in the neighborhood near the school at the junior high level. I think at high school we marched in the football field - for some reason I don't remember that. I'm still eating some of Adelija's leftovers in the fridge, freezer and shelves - I'm down to 1 slice of tomato and two pieces of pumpernickel bread. I tossed some of her baking stuff as I doubt I'll use up the yeast she had opened. I'm not driving as much without Adelija here - she'd ask for lots of rides to get together with friends. I'm also pairing my trips to parks with shopping errands. I couldn't do that with Gus in the car, so saving some mileage and gas that way also. Enjoy your trip!
Waves to all!

ETA: Woohoo! Just got a call from the co-op I'm interested in - I was #52 on their signup for co-op units, now I'm number 30! There are 60 units in the building so pretty good luck getting in there and hopefully will get one on the Eastern side. They also said that I won't miss my meeting selecting a unit for being gone at the end of the month - it'll probably happen in mid-July. Yay!
