NATIONAL DO SOMETHING NICE DAY

Your Official Day to spread awesomeness is on October 5! Today is National Do Something Nice Day and we are dedicated to making the world a little brighter, one kind act at a time.

Think of today as the awesome sequel to Random Acts of Kindness Day (February 17). It’s another fantastic chance to create a ripple effect of positivity!

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in the daily hustle. Do Something Nice Day reminds us of a simple, powerful truth: kindness is a superpower we all possess! Kindness doesn’t require a grand, sweeping gesture. In fact, a small nice act of kindness can completely turn someone’s day around. You may find it boosts your spirits as well!

NATIONAL RHODE ISLAND DAY

Wrapping up the original 13 colonies, National Rhode Island Day on October 5 recognizes the last colony to join the Union on May 4, 1776.

Roger Williams established the Rhode Island colony in 1636 at Providence seeking religious and political freedom after persecution for his beliefs in Massachusetts,

While the colony was the first to renounce British rule, Rhode Island was the only state absent from the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Rhode Island delayed signing the Constitution, preferring the addition of a bill of rights. It wasn’t until the Constitution was ratified by nine previous states and the threat of taxation on her exports that Rhode Island finally ratified the document and became the 13th state.

The textile industry boomed in the mid-1800s after Samuel Slater founded the first textile mill in Pawtucket in 1790. Rhode Island made producing cloth into a lucrative national and export business.

NATIONAL CONSIGNMENT DAY

As the seasons change and our lives evolve, and so do our styles and budgets. On the first Monday in October, National Consignment Day offers a way to elevate both. The holiday celebrates consignment as the smart, sustainable way to shop, earn money, and extend the life cycle of your items.

Check your overstuffed closet and what will you find? In everything from designer clothes to evening gowns and fine jewelry, last year’s blue jeans and the never-worn is the opportunity for cash in your pocket. Conversely, is your wardrobe looking a little thin? Update it by shopping consignment, which offers new and gently used, name-brand items for a fraction of the retail price.

NATIONAL GET FUNKY DAY

Find your groove and Get Funky on October 5 for National Get Funky Day! It’s time to turn up the energy, improve the mood, smile, laugh, and dance everywhere you go.

National Get Funky Day encourages everyone to break out of their funk and get funky. When we add a little spice to our everyday routine, it keeps life interesting, too. Watch your interactions between customers, coworkers, and loved ones improve. Funkiness is infectious! Let’s celebrate life, spread love, laughter, and light!

NATIONAL GOE DAY

National GOE Day – Growth. Overcome. Empower. The Sunday of the first full weekend in October encourages us to support safe spaces for healing and connection for those who have been victimized by abuse and trauma. The day focuses on healing, recovery and providing resources that support overcoming these overwhelming obstacles in life.

NATIONAL CHILD HEALTH DAY

In the United States, National Child Health Day occurs each year on the first Monday in October. The day recognizes the care and guidance children need to grow strong and healthy.

Each child deserves to be the healthiest he or she can be. From the food they eat to the words they hear, children require support and opportunities to grow. Parents often worry about chronic disease, accidents or childhood illnesses. At the same time, they focus on a child’s mental health and general health. Whether it’s their environment, the food they eat or how much TV they watch, the day is an excellent opportunity to support the children in your life.

NATIONAL APPLE BETTY DAY

As the crisp autumn air rolls in, get ready for one of the season’s coziest and most delicious traditions! October 5 marks National Apple Betty Day, an annual food holiday of the warm, bubbly, and utterly irresistible baked apple dessert.

Apple Better is a simple, rustic dessert that proves you don’t need anything fancy to create something truly spectacular. Imagine tart, juicy apples, sliced and sweetened, bubbling under a golden-brown blanket of buttery, cinnamon-spiced crumbs. That’s the magic of an Apple Betty!

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I feel really sad for your husband’s room mate family.
I pray they are doing alright.

I got a lot done over the weekend with hubby we still have projects as I like to call them. 😎
The rain did a beautiful job on all the plants and flowers of course the food helped. 💕

The family is holding steady and we are ready for our niece next step. This is life and it happens.

Oz is beautiful today we are right at a crisp 74 degrees and sunny. 💕😎🎈

@sheba2011

Well another Monday for collections has come and gone. I will need to make a phone call as everything went, that is, except the garbage. I will be making a phone call in the morning.

I have been working in the kitchen and it is a slow but steady progress. I am taking a detour by working on one shelf in the pantry. I was surprised that a couple of cans exploded and that mess is gradually coming clean. These cans had expiration dates of 2027. Go figure.

Did not see hubs today. Went to bed about 4:30am and awoke around 9am. Fell asleep at the computer and awoke with a phone call from the rehab around 4pm asking me about some vaccines for hubs. I had no inkling what he needed and mentioned contacting the nurse’s station for the updates.

Our weather is about to change for the next three or four days. Not sure what is happening in the Gulf, but I am definitely watching. Meanwhile we have three or four days of rain beginning tomorrow. I will need to watch for flooding on my routes. Last resort would be the Interstate. If it’s a hurricane we will be evacuated which is the normal procedure for our area. Hubs rehab most likely will end up in Orlando due to water overflow from the Manatee River which abuts the back of the building. The facilities in Orlando are the sister rehabs to this one and it’s about 90 miles one way. The sad part is that no one works the phones once the evacuation takes place so you do not know which facility your loved one is in. Hubs treats it as a new adventure.

The family was with the person who passed. I met his wife who uses a walker to get around. His son-in-law stayed. He was expecting to see his sister in law. But she never showed. I surmise she was with her mom and I can sympathize as to the difficult decisions she had to make. One of the receptionist’s mentioned that the son-in-law was actually a stepson. He was there when he was needed and stayed. This was the only time I actually saw anyone visiting.

Here’s to a nice evening. It is cloudy as I type. Temp is 85. It was over 90 today. Humidity 100%.

@oodiebom,

I would just let it go for tonight. That’s enough. 🎈

No KP duties tonight let’s just get you some peace and quiet.

Tomorrow is another day. 😎

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California and soon you will have cooler weather. 😎
I have all the windows open to let the fresh air in.

Poppy has not left my side after our walk this morning. The leaves are changing
and falling. A big welcome to Fall. 💕

Wishing you and your family a good Week. 🎈😎

Sheba, well, one can hope! Ran errands stoday and put up a few Halloween decorations.
I’ll add a few more things as we get closer to the end of the month. All my candy is bought as well. Well, one earring left and I still haven’t pulled the trigger. To be fair, I do have a purchase on the way and am trying to be good. Plus Choco nuvo season is here and once the extreme heat is over then I will buy it.

Have a great evening. Are you watching a movie on TCM?
Thinking of your niece. Hope things are getting easier for her.

@taci,

Thank you for thinking of my niece she is doing well and Friday will be her first Chemo.

I am watching Belle De Jour a French Sub Titled Film. 😎

Have a good night.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. We are missing you please may you and your family be well. 💕😘

Sending cool Fall Breezes to you and Jake. 😎🎈💕

NATIONAL CINNAMON BUN DAY

National Cinnamon Bun Day on October 4 sweetens us up with a Scandinavian pastry that happens when a warm bun swirls together a yeasty dough in sugar and cinnamon.

Served with coffee or tea and enjoyed with a good book, a friend, or a dance party (don’t judge), it comforts on chilly fall days.

NATIONAL VODKA DAY

Clear, crisp, with endless versatility, vodka is the star of the bar for a reason. National Vodka Day on October 4th is the perfect time to celebrate this iconic spirit. Whether you prefer it in a classic martini, a spicy Bloody Mary, or a trendy modern cocktail, we’re raising our glass to the history and craft behind one of the world’s most popular drinks.

The origins of vodka seem to be a little murky. Both Poland and Russia lay claim to creating vodka in the late Middle Ages. However, there is no definite proof that either did or didn’t. We do know the word “vodka” is a diminutive form of the Slavic word voda (water), meaning “little water.” Because there are Slavic people found in both Poland and Russia, the origin is even more difficult.

NATIONAL GOLF LOVER’S DAY

National Golf Lover’s Day on October 4th is the ultimate green light for golf enthusiasts to hit the links, especially for those in places where the season is winding down. Today is your official excuse to chase that elusive hole-in-one at least one more time. That crisp autumn air, the stunning fall foliage, and the satisfying thwack of a perfect drive is the perfect time to celebrate!

October 4 is more than just a great day for a round–it holds a special place in golf history…

National 10-4 Day on October 4th honors CB radio culture, truckers, travelers, and one of America’s most recognized radio phrases: “10-4,” meaning message received.

NATIONAL 10-4 DAY | OCTOBER 4

National 10-4 Day celebrates the language of the open road, the golden age of CB radio, and the truck drivers who helped make “10-4” part of everyday conversation.

When someone says “10-4,” they are saying the message has been received and understood. It is short, clear, and to the point. That is exactly why it worked so well over two-way radios, where quick communication could help drivers share road conditions, report hazards, ask for help, or simply keep each other company on a long stretch of highway.

Good day Peeps have a nice Sunday in the HSN Community. 🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Here is to a nice Sunday. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

Hi and a good evening to you three. Got quite a bit accomplished and didn’t realize how tired I was until I stopped. But the outside is beginning to look good. The only thing left is to spray the grass weeds in the huge planter in front of our home and to take out two oak trees trying their best to strangle the croton. I thought I had the right pruning shears, but found they were missing so ordered a new pair. Now to clean out the frig and get the garbage and recycle ready for pickup tomorrow. I will be up early to put them out front.

Hubs roommate passed away either Friday night or Saturday morning. He was unable to move around from day one and was helped at mealtime by the aides. He slept on and off from the time he was admitted. Have no idea what he had and just hope he wasn’t in pain. He was in the rehab for about two weeks.

When I entered hubs room yesterday his feet were on the floor and he was not sitting upright, but rather prone with the back of his head facing north. The wheelchair was in front of him and he was trying to use it to get his feet back on the bed. I left him to find an aide or the RN. Turned out the RN was just down the hallway and she ran to the room. By the time we approached he was back to where he was supposed to be. This was the first time he actually used his arms and legs to return to the correct posture. I also had locked the wheelchair in place and suffice to say that helped with the leverage.

Hoping to make a stop at the Farmer’s Market tomorrow. In their salad section they have a fruit appetizer that hubs may enjoy. It comes with cut up strawberries, pineapple and grapes. In the center is a homemade fruit dip. It’s something I know he would enjoy. As for me, I will need to figure how to open it for hubs without touching the strawberries. They also have a veggie one which includes baby carrots, cukes, and cherry tomatoes. The dip is hummus which I cannot eat due to it being fermented. And, yes, I love hummus. They also include veggie crackers.

Since I have a bit of energy left, think I will start cleaning the frig. Have a wonderful evening. I hope you three get a chance to visit your sister while she is with your niece. I am thankful that your niece is in good hands and that she is improving. I just hope she can tolerate the chemo. Like you and everyone else, I detest the “C” word.

Love the pumpkins. 🎃🎃🎃🌴🌈

@oodiebom,

Oodie I am so sorry your husband’s room mate passed. My heart and prayers go to him
and his family may he RIP.

This is too much I am glad you have the energy to finish your housework. I would rest
for tonight if it were me.

My niece is doing fine so far the Chemo should be alright as she only have three treatments.
The lord never gives you more than you can bear and everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Rest now and enjoy the market tomorrow. Be careful with those bins. 🎈

Hi Sheba, Sounds like the weather there is better and the critters are happy. Our AC is still on and I can’t wait for cooler weather. SInce it is so hot here I’ve been in the house clearing out what I can and it moving along.
Have a good evening!

@taci,

I know the feeling but we all have to do what we have to do. 😎💕I am sure the heat
will go away soon so odd you having heat this time of year in your area. Oz is in the 50’s
and me and the animals are fine with that. 💕😎🎈

Sending some cool rays to you in S. California from OZ. 🎈😎

Have a nice evening.

@shoelady60,

Careless Whisper
Song by George Michael

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend (should’ve known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who’s gonna dance with me?
Please stay
And I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?

I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)
Song by Aretha Franklin and George Michael

Like a warrior that fights and wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes, I did
Oh, I escaped (aha ha)
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith
When the river was deep, I didn’t falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn’t stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
Uh huh
With an endless desire, I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
And like a bridge that’s on fire, the hurt is over
One touch and you set me free
No, I don’t regret a single moment, no, I don’t
(I know you don’t) Looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh
When the river was deep, I didn’t falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn’t stop me, oh
I knew you were waiting, hey, I knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny, ooh boy, ooh!
I know this love we share was meant to be, oh
(Knew you were waiting) Ooh, yeah
(Knew you were waiting) I knew you were waiting
(Knew you were waiting for me)
I didn’t falter, no
(I still believed) When the valley was low
(It didn’t stop me) Nothing can stop me, no
(Knew you were waiting) No, I
(Knew you were waiting for me)
(I didn’t falter) When the mountain was high
(I still believed) Oh, when the valley was low
(It didn’t stop me) No, it didn’t stop me, no
(Knew you were waiting) stop me
(Knew you were waiting for me)
(I didn’t falter) Oh, oh yeah
(I still believed) Oh, I still believed
(It didn’t stop me) Do you know it couldn’t stop me now? No
(Knew you were waiting)
Someday (someway), some place (somehow)
For me
(I didn’t falter) When the valley was low
(I still believed) I still believe (I believed, I believed)
(It didn’t stop me) Yeah, it couldn’t stop me

“Don’t Let The Sun Go Down (On Me)” George Michael
(feat. Elton John)

[George Michael:]
I can’t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growin’ tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It’s much too late to save myself from fallin’
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meanin’ when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don’t let the sun go down on me, yeah
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
But losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elton John

[Elton John, George Michael:]
I can’t find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don’t discard me (Baby, no)
Just because you think I mean you harm
(Just because you think I mean you harm, no)
But these cuts I have (Cuts I have)
They need love (They need love, they need love)
To help them heal, oh

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
‘Cause losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else that I see, yeah
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, baby, oh
‘Cause losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

Father Figure
Song by George Michael

That’s all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you’ll never
Understand me (understand me)
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be, whoa
That’s all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side
Sometimes I think that you’ll never
Understand me (understand me)
But something tells me together
We’d be happy, oh-oh, baby
I will be your father figure (oh, baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine (I’d love to)
I will be your preacher teacher (be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind (it would make me)
I will be your father figure (very happy)
I have had enough of crime (please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
‘Til the end of time (of time)
That’s all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That’s all I wanted
Just to see my baby’s
Blue eyes shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong, baby
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine (my baby)
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind (hee)
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
‘Til the end of time
If you are the desert
I’ll be the sea
If you ever hunger
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That’s what I’ll be
So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don’t think of me
Because all I ever wanted
It’s in your eyes
Baby
And love can’t lie, no
My love is always tellin’ me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won’t let you go, my baby
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind, baby
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(So I am gonna love you)
‘Til the end of time
I will be your father (I will be your)
I will be your preacher (father)
I will be your father (I’ll be your daddy, woah)
I will be the one who loves you
‘Til the end of time

Note To Self:

There is something in the air. 😎🎈

Not everyone who once knew you is entitled to the person you worked so hard to become. Forgiveness can free your heart without reopening the door. Avara reminds us that trust is sacred, access is earned, and the key remains in our own hands.

Release does not require us to forget what happened or pretend the cage never existed. It means we stop arranging our lives around what once confined us. Seraphina reminds us that the door is open, the lesson can travel with us, and we are free to build beyond the boundaries of our pain.

Courage is not a life untouched by fear. It is the strength we gather each time fear arrives and we refuse to let it choose for us. Pirate Girl reminds us that every storm survived leaves something useful behind—greater wisdom, steadier hands, and a deeper trust in our ability to steer toward what remains possible.

A second chance can be offered from a place of compassion, but it should never cost us our dignity, peace, or sense of self. Odessa reminds us that we can share our light without draining the lantern that sustains us. Protecting what is sacred within you is not selfish—it is an acknowledgment of your worth.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎 Oodie I read your post from last night.
I totally agree with everything you wrote read my reply when you have time.

Good for you not going to let someone take advantage of you. I feel something was
not right I don’t trust people there is always something.

If you need help I would go through the proper channels and have them verified. 😎

I talked to my niece and while she is in the enclosed glass chamber she cannot bring anything
in there so two hours is just nerve wrecking.

Oz is beautiful today just a nice Fall Day. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

I am disappointed that your niece is in that capsule and cannot bring anything with her. I assume your daughter can’t be with her. Bummer. Hope that is now behind her.. I have seen pictures of that machine. I also read that some patients have been permitted to bring a book or music. Whether those required some sort of sterilization is a good question. But for your info this method does a great deal of good. It is definitely a wonderful healing tool.

I took today off. I am with hubs as I type. Tomorrow I get the bins loaded for our usual collection on Monday. I am also hoping to take down two oak trees that are growing in the middle of my croton. Also hoping to trim the branches on the hydrangea. Maybe do one load of laundry as well.

I still have a feeling that shoe lady is staying with her mom. She did something similar a few months ago when her sister returned to her home in CA.. With all the hurricanes hitting the West coast. I would not be surprised that she returned to check her home. I hope all is well on both fronts.

Enjoy your evening oh yes, the bracelet arrived today. Love it I opened the package in front of hubs. And, yes, it will go with my necklace. Maybe wear both tomorrow.

Right now I am enjoying doing work on the house independently. Having someone helping would be more of a hindrance. Good idea but not for me. Hubs wants to help. And since he is accustomed to the house it would be good therapy for him. I will do the ramp. This process will enable him to come home for a few hours and to be ready to be there permanently. There are vans for the disabled that spill bring him home from the rehab and return him later. The other thing.I did not like was the building of the ramp which would take up most of the carport. I have been enjoying the front area with the container plants while having soup or coffee. Even reading a novel.Yes, I can do this sitting in the lanai. But, here I can see the birds, butterflies, and cars or golf carts rolling by. And sometimes seeing a neighbor or two before seeing hubs gets me started on some different conversations.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening the whole point of the Chamber is to be clean and sterilize hence
no books or anything her skin and body is healing. Our daughters are right outside
the door and with during the two hours procedure everyday. My brother and other
relatives are there for her too.

We have family traveling all from all over the country to visit and support her. I was
with her a couple of months ago in Colorado. My niece is healthy and looks well.
Cancer is what it is a Beast! My sister her mother will be there in a few days.
We have a lot going on in the family. We all are stepping up. I am only writing this
because this is Breast Cancer Month and everyone is different in the treatment and healing
process. Niece Chemo for three sessions starts next week.

I will be so glad when your husband is finally home. 😎🎈I hope you have a small celebration.
We will celebrate here that is for sure.

Rest well Oodie tonight OZ is in the 50’s I am loving it and so are the animals. 💕

@oodiebom and @taci,

This is what my niece has to get in everyday for the next week she has spent a week in
it already.

No book, Wifi or music. Niece has to endure.

This is why I am supporting her through this cancer I did not have this with mine.

@taci,

Good day in S. California. Taci look above this post and you will see the enclosed glass
chambers my niece has been in we are now in the second week and she is healing. 💕

Still doing a bit of this and that for fall. 💕🎈

Enjoy the day with your husband. I know you two are busy too.

Sheba, Glad the Chamber is clear on all sides and she can see out of it. If she gets a lot of anxiety maybe the Dr can get her some Xanax or something. I think I came across as high anxiety to my surgeon (but I wasn’t) and he was probably trying to be kind and prescribed it but I never took it.
Also I think she should be able to bring a book in there. Wishing her the best recovery.

We are hitting some very high temperatures here. Hubs is off to get something to reflect the heat that goes on some half dome type windows. in the house. They have a cover already but not a heat reflective type. Four pictures gone and two boxes shipped off today. I am relieved that these things found their new homes. Also got a flu shot and a blood draw. Lots of parking spots today but still very busy there.
Glad you enjoyed the rain. Have a good evening!

@taci,

Good Evening things are going well for my niece but due to the kind of treatment she
is having it has to be sterile and nothing can be brought in for that reason.

Our kids are there in support and waiting to be with her afterwards. Niece Chemo
for three sessions starts next week and she and her body has to be ready and according
to her it is. 💕

I know exactly how you feel getting rid of STUFF! I feel wonderful afterwards and my week
has been a busy one. 😎

I am keeping it moving OZ is in the 50’s and I love it and so does the fur babies. 💕The animals
need this gentle time when they are not freezing or super hot this is a good time for them.

Taci I would rest right about now have a good one. 🎈

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈I did read your post from last night.
What a busy day you had and full of unexpected things happening.

I am glad you are having service on your A/C today. Oodie I would make sure
the person who may be doing some house work for you is vetted. Perhaps this
will get your husband home soon.

Oz had rain all day and night today is the first day of pure sunshine and everything can
dry out. We needed the rain. Sis tells me Colorado is getting rain and they needed it more.

Oodie take your time today I am still multi-tasking but I am getting things done. 😎

I do not think I will hire someone’s cleaning person. I am beginning not to trust the person who did our power washing last week. He said he does interior work as well. “Jack of all trades.” He is coming on too strong and that makes me run the other way. I was not only dead tired at the end of both conversations but in severe pain due to weather. Consequently I did not see hubs yesterday. I did see him today and he was not too happy when I mentioned why I wasn’t there yesterday. I have other names on the list for both and will see what they say. Just do not like the pushiness.

The A/C person was here this afternoon before 2pm. However, he took the A/C apart for the humidistat and took a bit longer than I anticipated. I definitely needed to put my feet up and that turned out to be a good idea. Though our temps are in the high 80s, the humidity is over 90%. I don’t dare ask about the dewpoint. All I will say there is hardly any air out there. All weather forecasts have said rain, but so far not a drop. Today is a 75% chance (it’s Saturday), but it was the same chance yesterday.

Sorry to hear about the “torture” chamber for your niece. I know she had company. However, can she bring a book, puzzles or something of interest while she is there? It may help to make a difficult situation more peaceful. Even watching a movie that only requires WiFi (if available).

I did make a stop at the Farmer’s Market. I went around the parking lot a number of times before finding a spot. You would figure at 4:45pm that many would be home getting dinner ready. Not happening. Tons of people with their carriage filled to the brim. I went in just to get a few things and left. I managed to find a quick checkout and was in and out within a half hour.

@oodiebom,

You are spot on with the power washer being pushy about getting someone to come in
and help you it was a hard sell. I have a way of reading things and I can see the whole thing
he would had 10 minutes why I need his cleaning person then it’s hit the road Jack! 😎

You would have to have a complete security and background check to even come in my
house not because it’s so special but because I am! I don’t trust many people who just
show up and try to sell me a bill of goods. I am so glad you too are a wise woman. 😎

I feel better now that was concerning but I know you and you are no one’s fool.
I mean that in a good and smart way.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈I read your post and wow you and hubby have your
hands full. I still have things from my father you can only do so much.

I hope you get your earrings I am getting something for my niece. 💕 I am telling you
that see through Chamber is something I hope I never need. Niece does not like it.
Thank you for your thoughts on this during Breast Cancer Month. This is a club no woman
wants to join.

Oz is beautiful today. 💕🎈😎 Fresh Rain is so needed in a lot of places.

Sheba, can she bring anything into the chamber or watch something through a clear area? I’m so sorry she is suffering. You’re an awesome Aunt to have around. Can someone read to her through it or can she listen to music?

We had extreme heat warnings last week and more this week so its been a good time to clear house. You would be surprised but my Mother used to paint and I didn’t know what to do with her pictures. Plus she had so many others at her place that I donated them. Today, someone wanted 2 of them and tomorrow someone else is taking 4 of them. Instead of being in a room in storage they are useful to someone so that’s great. Then my sibling wants some items that he didn’t want a few years ago. I couldn’t just let them go anywhere and am glad to be shipping back to him. I also gifted a 1970’s larger item that was sitting in that room. Mission is in process.

I’m on the fence about the Earrings but only 2 are left so I need to decide soon. LOL.
Have a great night.

@taci,

I will ask my niece and kids about that she does not like to talk about it and will be
very happy when this is done. I will have an answer tomorrow. Thank you for your concern.

I see you are a busy bee too yep get it one and done. Glad your brother reached out to
you. 💕

Oz is in the 50’s at this moment and will be in the 70’s all week. 😎💕

Have a great evening.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈💕May this day find you and yours doing well. Miss ya.

Sending smooth vibes to you and Jake. 🎈😎
