Just finished mopping floors and cleaning 2 toilets ~ I have one more upstairs to go. Relaxing and playing online a bit, then off to shower and go do more grocery shopping at WalMart (seems it's a lot cheaper there). Make dinner, exercise, shower again then eat dinner.
The usual morning chores of feeding the inside and outside kitties...and petting them.
After breakfast, put assorted stuff away and emptied the litter box. Made a bunch of phone calls. Turns out that changing the beneficiary on my life insurance is more complex than I'd imagined.
Sent out the normal Friday newspaper columns and, then, went to the shop to work on a couple of customer projects.
After several hours there pulling staples and tacks, my right hand (carpal tunnel and arthritis) hurt too much to continue so came home and threw some lunch together.
A delivery from a supplier was on the porch when I got home. Now I can finish a customer project that's been hanging fire for a while. I'll be glad to get it off the back burner.
Overcast and gloomy today. Am considering taking a nap. Probably won't because that means I won't sleep tonight.
I'll be talking to Buck's mom on the phone tonight. Our Friday ritual for years. She's 94 and still kickin' butt and takin' names. What a lady! She's the mother I never had.

sent hubby to the pet store and the library.
Talked with my youngest brother on the phone at about 7:30 this morning. He's one of my best friends. He has a busy schedule today because he's performing in an area production of Chicago. They're in rehearsal right now, so his days begin early and end late. The last performance is September 14. I'll attend the evening performance on September 12. He may be my brother, but he's very good.
Most of the mid part of the day I've been finishing a pink knitted stuffed bunny toy for my other brother's first grandchild, a girl. I've never made this pattern before and it's turning out really great. Really girly!
When I finish with the bunny, which will be in less than an hour, I'll finish restoring a "Curious George" stuffed monkey for a client. I'm almost done and he's looking much healthier.
Just came from downstairs where I had a nibble of lunch and threw some chicken and veggies in my little crock-pot for tonight's dinner.
Will talk to my mother-in-law later. She was out last night.
The only other thing on my agenda is sitting on the porch this evening.

We had a productive day around the house.
Finished laundry, cut the grass, havested and cleaned the garden, filled in some low spots around the yard with soil and assembled a crib for GF's grand children.

After morning chores and breakfast, went to the shop and worked about 4 hours. Restoring two oak table chairs that a doggie decided were his source of fiber. I think I can get them back to new.
Cut and fiber covered a mattress for a 100-year-old cradle for a customer. Turning out pretty well. It's one of those jobs that "creates" itself because of the design of the piece of furniture.
Delivered the restored/repaired "Curious George" stuffed toy. Customer was delighted. Said he looked like new. Poor baby, he was missing most of both arms, the bill on his cap was torn pretty badly and his left foot was not in great shape.
Thought I was done for when I had to replace both arms. Wondered how I was going to match the color of George's tee shirt sleeves to the original color of the his shirt.
Light bulb moment! I went to a local printing company that prints tee shirts. Matched the color to one of their sample colors and ordered a child's shirt to cut up to make George's sleeves. Worked/matched perfectly.
He belonged to the customer's son when his son was a child. His son, now 30, is expecting his first child in about 4 weeks. George is to be a special gift for the new baby. Now THAT'S a happy ending.
Came home after the shop and made some lunch. Did paperwork most of the afternoon.
Got a call from the "tomato fairy" and met with him at 6:30 P.m. to pick up another huge box of tomatoes. Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?
Sat on the porch for a while after feeding the outside kitties, then decided to sweep most of the walkway from the house to the street, about 200 feet. Enjoyed it and pulled little grass clumps from between the cracks. Looks better and will finish tomorrow.
Talked with my friend to see if her son made it back to Baghdad okay. She said he's still en route. Probably get there tomorrow.
Grilled some chicken for supper and am ready to prop myself up in bed with my James Patterson book.

The boys went back to school today
Today is grocery day, which is fun - I always like to see how much I've saved for the week (usually can do at least 60%)
Katie, wish I had a tomato fairy!!!
