Thursday and Apartment Cleaning and Mowing

I slept fairly well last night although I woke up in the middle of the night with leg and foot cramps. Luckily I had some Hyland's Restful Legs so I got up and put two of those pills under my tongue and let them melt. That took care of it the first time. Several hours later it happened again. So I put two more pills under my tongue and this time I slept until 5:00AM. 

I have had my juice and  breakfast bar and am working on my oatmeal now. Later today after the dew is off the yard, Krystal's daughter will mow. I believe it will be too hot for me to do any of it this time. Also I just had my hair done yesterday and I don't want to mess it all up with sweat. That's why I prefer to have it mowed on Tuesdays.

I will check on the cats and turn on the weather now and get back to this later.

Scruff and Blondie were the only two cats out there waiting for their breakfast.  I took out the double bowl and an extra dish so they would each have their own food dish. That usually keeps them from fighting over it.

We are forecast for very hot weather today..up in the 90's. I am glad the 15 year old will be doing the mowing this time. I will do the trimming....probably later in the day after it cools down a bit.

I have watered all the flowers and filled the cat's water bowl with fresh water. It's going to be a scorcher today. It's 7:47AM now.  

I need to start getting my mopping done while I still have energy. Then I will start on the vacuuming. I need to get busy. 

I also want to go to the market and get some more bottled water. The little gal that mows will need some as well as myself. I only have two bottles left. 

I went to the market and bought bottled water, bananas,  strawberries and shortcake. That's about all I needed this time.

I got my mopping done before I went to the market. I will vacuum next after I rest a bit.

I was getting ready to Vacuum when the smoke detector went off in the bedroom.  I went to the garage and got the step stool and finally got the thing down. I put a new battery in it but now I can't get it back up there. I guess I will just leave that one off. The next time John comes by, I may ask him to put it up. Steve and Suzanne are gone on a fishing and camping trip and taken their grandchildren and I don't know how long they will be gone but they are still gone. I will text Suzanne and see when they plan to return.

I read all morning until 12:42PM and I finished my book. Then I put a frozen meal in the microwave and cooked it.  That will be my lunch.  Then I may download another  book. First, I need to read the second book I downloaded after I vacuum.

So more even later... 

I read all afternoon and finished another book.  Then I heard from my granddaughter, Christina. They are moving to San Antonio. Kyle is in the service and has been transferred to San Antonio to Fort Sam Houston. They will stop here Saturday, Sunday and Monday. They want to see John and Leslie on Saturday. John and Leslie will be gone Sunday through Wednesday because they are going fishing at Roaring River at that time.

My young mower came an hour late and mowed for me. It was way too hot and humid for me to mow today. If it cools down this evening I will trim. I pay her $25.00 when she mows the entire yard. I pay her $10.00 to mow just the west side when I can mow the front and back. But today was impossible for me to mow.

I bought strawberries at the Caney market and prepared them.  I may take some to Nancy if I can raise her tomorrow.

I finally got all my vacuuming done today.  I will dust tomorrow. It is 5:39PM right now. 

I had bought some strawberries at the market today. I called Nancy's and got Dale. I told him I had fixed some strawberries and wandered if Nancy would want some. If she did, I would bring her some. Dale asked her and she wanted some. So I dished up some in a container and took it over to her. Dale left after we visited awhile and then he took his grandchildren and left. I stayed until almost 9:00PM and visited with Nancy then I came home and took my bath. It's after 9:00PM now and I will go on to bed. Nancy wants to go to breakfast tomorrow so I will pick her up at 9:00AM and we will go out to Eggbert's for breakfast.

At 7:00PM I will take my bath and plan to go to bed at 9:00PM.
