Back to Work
Aug. 6th, 2025 09:19 pmI was about to go to sleep when I realized that the cats might find my dropped pill. (Both dogs were in the bedroom with me.) So I got up and swept the floor near where I dropped it. I didn’t find my med, but found Gracie’s meds.
Woke up at 6:30 AM. Decided to go back to sleep for an hour because I showered in the evening yesterday, so I should be pretty clean.
I’m looking into OTO smart sprinklers as a compromise between an in-ground sprinkling system and moving a sprinkler around. I think that I’d need four units though (front, back, and each side). I want to find out more about how they work though. Hmm. A review says that they emit too strong a stream for overseeding the lawn, which is why I want them now. I guess that I'll be moving the sprinkler around.
I was giving Gracie her meds, and she dropped a hot dog piece, and Bella snatched it. Bad Bella! I don’t know which med she got. It won’t hurt her, but it would be nice to know which med Gracie didn’t get.
I'm kind of feeling like crying, and I don't know why. I'm not sure if I took my meds this morning.
Hmm. I'm mulling over replacing my pots and pans. (Mom actually told me to get rid of some of them, which says how old they are.) I found a set at Costco that I like, plus a baking set. Copper pots and pans seem to be out of fashion though. Actually, Home Depot, of all places, has my dream set of pots and pans (hammered copper). And it includes baking items, so I don't need to order a separate set of baking items. I looked at my pots, and apparently I got rid of the worst ones, but I don’t have a lot of them. I ordered the new set.
Apparently I received the acrylic glasses, but put them aside. I really, really like them. If I had known that they would be so pretty, I might have not gotten the glassware, but that's pretty too.
Work is over. Yay. Oliver is putting his paw in my empty water glass for reasons known only to him. Speaking of water, I’m wondering if I should buy a pitcher and some ice cube trays to have water to bring upstairs (ordered). I’d drink a lot more water that way.
I received a letter from a solar power bank about how enrolling in their plan could cut my bill by 15%. I’ll look into it. The company is getting horrible reviews, so no.
Watered the outside plants. Fed us all. Ugh, I’m feeling tired, but I need to get the recycling out.
Oh for god’s sake. Gracie was chewing on the handle of the broom.
Got the recycling out. I'm going to go to bed soon because I'm out of gas.
