Saturday and Finishing Dusting

I slept well last night and was up at 5:30AM, made my bed and dressed for the day. I am just starting to eat my breakfast here in the den now.The only plan I have for today is to finish my dusting and read the rest of the book I began last night. It's 6:07AM now and and I haven't had a chance to check out the weather or the cats yet. They may be out there now since it's after 6:00AM. I will check after I finish my breakfast.

Blondie was the only cat out there waiting for his breakfast. I didn't see a sign of Scruff. I fed him and got back in just in time to get "the weather on the 8's".

Today is to be 99 degrees and partly cloudy,  Sunday 78 degrees and AM showers,Tuesday 85 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday 89 degrees and sunny. Thursday 94 degrees and sunny, Thursday 94 degrees and sunny and Friday 94 degrees and mostly sunny. That's it for the next week.

I read until I finished the book I was reading. It is 10:38AM now and I will take my outgoing mail to the mailbox and mail it in. 

I went out to Sonic a little while ago and bought a cherry limeade slush. I haven't had dinner yet and it's only 11:30AM. I am still thinking of going down to Copan Restaurant and having their small chef salad. I still have all those french fries from day before yesterday too. I could warm them up in the skillet. They wouldn't be too healthy though.  I am just not too sure what I want to eat.

I see it's windy out today too. I may just stay home and eat a frozen meal.

I ended up having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Nothing else  sounded good. In an hour or so Krystal will be here to mow so I need to stick around.

She is usually here  by 3:00 or 3:30PM..after she gets off work at the Pizza Hut.

Krystal brought her middle daughter's boyfriend over to mow for me. He did a good job and I paid him what I usually pay Krystal.  His name is Josh Moon and he works two days a week at Pizza Hut with Krystal.. He gave me his phone number so I could arrange the mowing time with him. I had to put the trimmer on the charger so I will trim later this evening after it is charged.

More even later.

The battery to the trimmer was mostly charged when I hooked it up to the trimmer and did the trimming.That was about 5:31PM. It looks much better but I may do a little more trimming on it after it finishes it's complete charging.

I will take my bath at 7:00PM and plan to go to bed at 9:00PM. I am tired of reading so I will just take a couple of Melatonin  before I go to bed.

I have church tomorrow. There will probably be very few there.If Melissa is feeling better, she and Kelly will go camping. Leeann is doing some family travel now that the boy's schools are out. Karan will be at her daughter's home in Kansas City.

I will text my usual people.

Friday and Dusting

I slept well last night and was only up once in the night.I got up at 5:00AM, got my bed made and got myself ready for the day. It's 5:56AM now and I am having my breakfast here in the den as usual.

Later I will dust the apartment...everything else is done. Later I will water the flowers if I find that it didn't rain last night  I don't think it did.

I watered the flowers in the back and I am not sure it didn't rain last night. It could have been a heavy dew. Anyhow, it's done for awhile. I still have the front flowers to water but that can wait a bit. I have finished my breakfast and Helouised  the dishes.

More later..I will go check the weather forecast and see if the cats are out there too... 

Both cats were out there for their breakfasts. They are eating now. I took their food out there but the weather wasn't shown on 6;28AM. Maybe it will be at 6:38AM in a couple of minutes. When the cats finished eating..I took their food in the garage and covered it.

And I finally caught the weather forecast.Today is to be 98 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 100 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is forecast for 81 degrees and AM showers. Monday 77 degrees and partly cloudy, Tuesday 86 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday 91 degrees and sunny, and Thursday 94 degrees and sunny. That's the forecast for the week ! Tomorrow will be a scorcher!!!100 degrees!!!

I got the flowers in the front yard watered too. That should take care of them for awhile..

More even later.. 

Leslie called me and asked me to go to Bartlesville with her to get a pedicure. I accepted immediately. They had been gone on a cruise and I had missed seeing her at church. We had our pedicures and then we went to "Leslie's Pool Supplies" and she bought a couple of hundred dollars with of pool supplies and then we went to lunch at McCalister's and had a great salad.

I had barely picked up my mail and Jess, Nancy's friend, came to check on me and on her. He came in and visited me for awhile and after he left, I checked my mail. There was nothing important there so I threw away the junk mail.

Now I see Suzanne had been here and left newspapers so I will read those and then put them in the car for Karan to take to the animal shelter in Coffeyville. 

More later...

I read the newspapers Suzanne left me and then went back to my book.

I took my bath at 6:00PM and put my pajamas and robe on and plan to read some more before my 9:00PM bedtime.  

Next, I will dust everything in the apartment. I never did get that done today. It's 6:55PM now.

Thursday and Apartment Cleaning

I slept fairly well last night but was up two times in the night. Finally I settled down and slept until 5:00AM. I am up now with my watch on the USB port on the desktop computer charging it. It has to be charged every Thursday. Now I am wearing the watch Leslie gave me while the other one charges.

I dressed, made my bed and am getting ready to fix my breakfast now. It is 5:45AM.

 I am eating my breakfast now and after awhile I will check on the cats and watch the news and eventually start my cleaning. I will also water my plants when the sun comes up and I can go out front to water those around the mailbox. It's just beginning to get light out now.

It's just 6:07AM now.I will go check on the cats now.

More later....

They were both out there waiting for me to bring out their food. I put it out there and they are both eating now. Evidently they are very hungry. They are really going after it.

In a couple of minutes the weather forecast should be on.. It was!

Today should be 94 degrees and mostly sunny, Friday 97 degrees and mostly sunny, Saturday 100 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday 82 degrees and AM thunderstorms, Monday 80 degrees and mostly cloudy, Tuesday 86 degrees and partly cloudy and Wednesday 90 degrees and sunny. That's the week. Saturday looks like the worst and hottest day. 100 degrees!

The cats are gone now. After I see if they will be coming back again,  I will decide whether to leave the bowl out there for awhile.

I brought the bow into the garage and covered it and then Scruff came back looking longingly in the door. She is going to have to learn to eat while it's out there. I am not taking it back out there again.

I checked and the watch is fully charged again. I put it back on.

I got the watering of the flowerbeds finished.

I have mopped all the bare floors and have the laundry in the washer now. I will rest awhile before starting the vacuuming. That's always a big job for me. I take it in shifts and that works out better. I will do the bedroom and hall and den and then rest before beginning the living room and dining room.  

I got the bedroom, hall and den vacuumed and now I will need to rest awhile before doing the living room and dining room. The laundry is rinsing now. As soon as it's finished, I will put it in the dryer.

I got  the laundry in the dryer now and will rest up a bit before vacuuming the living room and dining room. I get really winded doing the vacuuming any more. I can sure tell my age is showing.

I went out and filled the mower with gas. Krystal will be mowing on Sunday afternoon/evening. The mower was filthy and I took a roll of wet paper towels out and cleaned it up as best I could. It looks better but not perfect. I also hooked up the blower and blew out the garage some too. It too looks better but not perfect.

I am almost ready to start vacuuming those last two rooms. When I get those done I will be "done in" too. :) 

I had better put away the dry laundry first. 

I got the laundry put away and clean towels out for my bath tonight. Then I vacuumed the last two rooms and put the dining room chairs back around the table.. That is all done for another week. I am very tired and I will rest awhile. It's 9:39AM so I got it finished early. I will dust later or tomorrow. Right now I am going to just rest and perhaps read. Or maybe I had better go over my Sunday message.

I did go over my Sunday message. I wanted to become more familiar with it.

Then I ended up going to Caney's Eggbert's for their special of the day and using the rest of Keith's gift card for that.

Then I read until 2:05PM and then went out and did some weeding in the hanging basket in front. I also watered the back flowerbed again. It's 92 degrees out there this afternoon. It'll be a miracle if the flowers make it. Tomorrow is to be 97 degrees and Saturday is supposed to be 100 degrees.

More even later...

It's 5:57PM and I have read most of the afternoon. 

Then I watered the flowers again both front and back and cleaned up the dead petals that fell off the flowers. I will take my bath at 7:00PM and put my pajamas and robe on and read some more until 9:00PM when I plan to go to bed.

Wednesday and a Hair Appointment

I slept fairly well last night and was up at 5:00AM as usual. I have made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I am having my breakfast here in the den now. It is 5:48AM now.

This morning about 7:45AM, I will leave for Coffeyville and my hair appointment at 8:30AM. then I will read in my Kindle until time for game day at 1:00PM at the senior center.

Scruff came for supper last night but I didn't see anything of Blondie. I haven't checked on the weather or the cats yet this morning. It's almost 6:00AM now so I will go turn on the TV and open the door to see if the cats are out there waiting.

So more later... 

Scruff came for breakfast but I didn't see a sign of Blondie.I left Scruff's breakfast out there for awhile because sometimes she eats a little at a time and comes back several times to eat more.

So far, I haven't seen the weather forecast but it's almost due....hopefully in about two minutes.

I was just in time to catch the weather. Today is to be 98 degrees and partly cloudy, Tomorrow is to be 92 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 97 degrees and mostly sunny, Saturday is forecast for 99 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday 84 degrees and morning thunderstorms, and Monday 81 degrees and mostly cloudy and Tuesday is to be 88 degrees and partly cloudy.

That's the week's forecast .I will be leaving for Coffeyville in a little while. It is 6:28AM now and so I have awhile until I leave.

Both cats are out there eating now. When Blondie came for his breakfast Scruff began eating again too. When they both finish I will take the food back in the garage and cover it up.

They both finished eating so I brought the cat food back in the garage and covered it up. 

Then I watered the flowerbeds. They will die if I don't water them every morning since it is so ungodly hot! They still struggle as it is.

More later.... I got my hair done and then went  to the senior center and sat in the car for an hour or so and read my Kindle.Then I began to feel kind of weak  and trimbley. I think it was the heat but I wasn't sure.  A couple of nights ago, I woke up in the night drenched in sweat. That's when I got my summer pajamas out and began wearing them to bed. 

I feel kind of "off" and I don't know why unless it was sitting in that hot car with the windows down reading but I don't think I want to take a chance and accidentally make the game day people sick. just because I am not sure. I had intended to go over to Marilyn's until time for game day but I called her and  told her I was going to come back home instead. I just don't feel right. I think I will lie down for awhile on the sofa.

I laid down on the sofa and went immediately to sleep. It is 1:50PM now.  I just ate an ice cream bar. I haven't had anything else since breakfast at 5:48AM this morning. I have a couple of TV dinners and may have one of those a little later. Right now I am not hungry.

More later.... 

It's 2:16PM now and I may go buy a child's Wacky Pack chicken strip lunch with french fries and a coke at Sonic.

That's what I did and after I ate something and read for awhile I felt much better.and I called Marilyn and told her. She was concerned about me and I was glad I hadn't gone on to game day.

It's 5:03PM now and soon I will watch the CBS news at 5:30PM. At 7:00PM, I will take my bath and plan to go on to bed at 9:00PM.

 

Tuesday and a Quiet Day

I slept pretty poorly last night. i woke up at 2:00PM soaked in sweat...even my hair was wet.  I took my temperature but I had no fever. It must have broken  I have no idea what that was  all about. I just know the past couple of days I have had terrible sinus drainage. It's gone now although I do feel kind of drained. 

Neither of the cats have come for their breakfast this morning..at least not yet...and it is 6:40AM so they would ordinarily be here by now.

Karan called me back last evening to tell me a woman in her exercise class  told the class that one person who was on our bus trip last week had developed Covid.  Later I will call Sherry and see if she had heard anything about it.

Scott called me this morning and visited with me on the way to his part time job. It was god to hear from him again. It had been at least a couple of weeks. 

Keith and Esther will be back in Phoenix on Saturday. John and Leslie will be back from their cruise today...if they don't get a cancelled flight.  

I have worked up a sermon since none was planned for this next Sunday. I asked Karan who was to speak but she did not know. So I told her I would work up a sermon rather then leave it to the last moment when Leslie is back...if she gets back today. I will send her the bulletin since she has the bulletins at her home but I will be prepared to print one off with blank paper if needs be. I can make copies at church.

Now I will go to the market  to get a treat for tomorrow's game day at the senior center. 

Be back later...

Well, I got the treat for tomorrow's game day and left it in the car so I wouldn't forget it. 

I have been reading another new detective book from Amazon. It's nearly noon so I think I will fix myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or I still have some money left on Keith's gift card. I could go use that I guess.

After last night's lack of sleep, I may just settle for the peanut butter and jelly sandwich..and that's what I did.   .

I finally caught the weather forecast. Today is to be 97 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 91 degrees and partly cloudy,Thursday is to be 91 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 99 degrees and mostly sunny, and Saturday is to be 101 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 84 degrees and partly cloudy and Monday is to be 84 degrees and partly cloudy. I guess Saturday is to be the hottest day at 101 degrees. That's plenty hot!

More even later..

I found a copy of the June 19th bulletin and noticed Leslie is listed as scheduled for next Sunday on that bulletin. So if she wants to do it, she was scheduled for next week on that bulletin. No one was listed for next week on last week's bulletin. I texted her to tell her about me finding that older bulletin.

She may be prepared to speak that week. No,as a matter of fact  since I am prepared, she will speak in July.

It's 7:13PM now and I am going to take my bath and put my pajamas on and my robe.

I plan to go to bed at 9:00PM.

Monday and a Visit to Nancy

 I slept very well last night and of course I took two Melatonin tablets and that's why.I didn't even get up until 6:00AM for a change. It's 6:30AM and I am just now having my oatmeal here in the den.

Both cats were out there for their breakfast this morning. I haven't even turned the TV on for the "weather on the 8's".

I will go down to Bartlesville later this morning for my weekly visit with Nancy and take her to lunch.

I have an awful lot of sinus drainage this time of year and this year it's worse then usual. I blow my nose constantly.

More later... I will go check the weather now. 

I got out there in time for the weather forecast for the next week.

Today is to be 93 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 97 degrees and  sunny, Wednesday 95 degrees and partly cloudy, Thursday is to be 94 degrees and partly cloudy.and Friday 99 degrees and sunny. Saturday is to be 101 degrees and sunny and Sunday 89 degrees and partly cloudy.

That's the week and Saturday looks like a good day to stay home and stay in. 

I went out to water my flowers and a large yellow dog covered in mud  wanted to jump on me. I told him "down!" in no uncertain terms. I got in the door and got it closed before he could shove his way in. I don't know where he belongs. I have never seen him before. It's plain he had been wallowing in the mud somewhere.

More later...It's 7:00AM now.

I left about 9:00AM and went to Bartlesville  to visit Nancy but first I went to Mr. Klean and washed my car and vacuumed it out. 

Then I went to visit Nancy. We visited for awhile until about 10:30AM and then we went over to Walmart and bought her some makeup. She was completely out. After that we went to Eggbert's there in Bartlesville and had lunch. Then we took a drive so she could get out of the assisted living for awhile. She really enjoys doing that and I take her for a long drive every time I go down to see her.

I stopped by the Walmart service station after that and filled up my tank with gas. It was $4.42 a gallon there....a couple of cents per gallon cheaper then everywhere else. 

Then I came on back home. 

I have read all afternoon and it's almost 6:00PM now. I finished my latest book.

I guess I'll try to watch the news. 

Oh yes...Karan called me and told me we have game day on Wednesday afternoon. I plan to attend. I will get my hair done and then read in my Kindle until time for game day. 

I will need to get a treat for the dessert tomorrow.

So more even later......

It's 6:23PM right now and at 7:00PM, I will take my bath and put my pajamas and robe on. Then I will start another book. 

I plan to go to bed at 9:00PM as usual......

Sunday and Church

I slept well last night and was only up once. I took two Melatonin again and that seems to make all the difference. I was up at  nearly 5:00AM and dressed, made my bed and got myself ready for church. I am eating my breakfast now here in the den. It's 5:50AM now and I guess I will go check out the weather and the cats.

So more later...

Both cats came for breakfast and ate their fill. I took the cat food back in the garage and covered it.

I also finally found "the weather on the 8's" and it looks like another scorcher week.

Today is forecast for 98 degrees and sunny, Monday 93 degrees and sunny, Tuesday will be 98 degrees and sunny,  Wednesday 96 degrees and mostly sunny, Thursday 96 degrees and mostly sunny, Friday 99 degrees and partly cloudy, and Saturday 100 degrees and partly cloudy. It's 6:27AM now.

Krystal will be coming to mow this afternoon probably around 3:00PM. She should have mowed it earlier in the week. It's pretty tall now.

 More even later...

I heard from Krystal this morning and she will be here to mow about 3:30PM.

More later... Krystal came about 4:45PM. It is very hot out there but she is mowing the back yard right now. She works at the Pizza Hut on Sunday afternoons. That's why she likes to mow on Sundays. It's 91 degrees out there. I began the trimming but I will wait until later this evening to finish it. I primarily have the back to trim now. I will do that when it cools down a bit.

It's 5:53PM now. I will take my bath at 7:00PM and put my pajamas and robe on.

More later....

Before I took my bath I went out to the back yard and trimmed around the fence. It had cooled down considerably by then. Then I swept off the grass.

I took my bath and put my pajamas and robe on and read awhile. It's 9:18PM now and I may just go on to bed. I am very tired.

I managed to give Krystal the old microwave for a friend of hers that had left an abusive relationship. Krystal has an empty house they are going to fix up and the woman will help them do that for them to let her live in it.
