Good evening gals!
Beth, it is always fun to see pics of our pets over the years!
Anita, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. That is very unfortunate that those test results took so long and didn't have good news. It is gonna be a tough road ahead for your brother for sure. (((hugs)))
The first time I got stung by fire ants was at the Tampa Zoo many years ago. I stepped off the sidewalk to get a photo of something and ended up standing on a large fire ant mound! Ouch!! You would think the zoo would be mindful of those things so visitors wouldn't get stung (when they are standing in places they shouldn't be!
)
I had a pretty productive day today! I got up and drove over to the putting course and played 2 rounds (18 holes) and did pretty good. I even had a couple watching me from their patio and applauded one of my shots!
When I got home I started cleaning up around here. Got the bedroom, living room and porch done. Found a piece of trim loose in my bedroom so I used some wood glue to get that back on. I removed some stickers I had on my porch windows and then washed the windows in there. Put up some fall decorations I had picked up at the Dollar Store last week. I usually only have ambition to work around here for no more than 4 hours so I got a lot done in that time.
My SIL had emailed me the other day saying my house listings in various sites was showing my house off the market. So I checked with my agent about it. My contract was over on October 31st and I signed a new one but apparently the listings lapsed by a day on-line and were dropped. So we decided to just do a whole new listing so it will show as new instead of 90+ days on the market. So he got that done today. Glad my SIL brought that to my attention. Apparently she is keeping tabs on me from MN even tho I am rarely ever in communication with her.
I talked to my friend Dave here this morning and he mentioned that it might be a good idea to have an open house on my place the day of the yard sale. I think that is a great idea so I mentioned it to my agent and he also thinks it would be a good thing to do. I can sell stuff outside and get people to take a look inside too. I usually get a lot of people here for my sales because I post "yard sale" signs on all the street corners around me with balloons attached. Not a lot of people in my area here do sales so sometimes people don't bother to come over this way but they will when there are signs put up. That will be on a Friday and I have requested Thursday and Friday off next week for that.
The turf piece on my patio still smells to high heaven! I think I will need to toss it ASAP. Don't think I will be able to get that smell of the ant killer out of it. It is really nauseating!
I am shopping for a new purse. I am very fussy about purses. I like small ones that have several different pockets in front. My current purse I have had for several years and the strap is broken and safety-pinned together. Hard to find a small purse just the right size I want. They are either way too big or teeny tiny.
Finished up the tuna salad today. It was really good but will be a few months before I make more.
I will finish up the kitchen and bathroom tomorrow and then start going thru stuff in here again to get rid of more things and put stuff aside for the yard sale in a week and a half. Need to go thru the shed too. I know there are things in there that need to go.
Will watch a little TV tonight and get to bed fairly early again. Not a bad habit to get into. Have a good night!
