Okay, I put the people with whom I'm meeting on Monday as the executors of my will. I can change it if necessary. So I finished my trust document. I also contacted a local bank to possibly serve as a successor trustee and maybe executor?

Damn, my tooth hurts. I hope that they'll fix it tomorrow.

I got Lily to come upstairs, but then Oliver went down in the basement. It’s a zoo here.

Fed us all. My stomach is upset.

Smoke from Canada has arrived here.

Got up at 6:30 AM. My stomach is upset. I need to get into the shower early because I need to put on my makeup for my dental appointment.

Oliver and Lily are being cranky with each other and are doing whappy paws.

Well, hell. This morning I had a dental appointment to get impressions for my permanent bridge. It wound up being surprisingly painful. They numbed me up, but they kept on pressing on a tooth that still hurt. The good news is that they replaced the missing crown with a temporary one, and that tooth feels fine. But I told work that I was taking 1/2 a sick day and was going to lie down, but that I would be in for a team meeting. Ate a little yogurt. Clio mini greek yogurt bars are pure crack. I love them.

It occurred to me that Munchie Bones are kind of like dog currency. Bella was like, “You expect me to come in FOR FREE??” I went and got a Munchie Bone, and she came in. She saves them for a while too.

Nothing from the bank that does trust work so far. I might have to call them this afternoon because I want a choice of who to pick to handle my estate.

Well, hell. The people whom I wanted as executor cannot serve as executor. They suggested that I try another firm. I'll call the bank first. I set up an appointment with the bank for Wednesday afternoon.

It's freaking hot upstairs. I just remembered that I saw a combo air conditioner/heater at Lowe's that seemed to be small enough for the windows upstairs. I need to measure to make sure. Nope, the window is a smidge too small. Ack! Up to 90F/32 C tomorrow. Shorts weather. Maybe I'll shave my legs tonight because I have Italian tomorrow morning. I ordered an air conditioner from Amazon. I’ll deal with heat in the fall. At least you can put more clothes on when it’s cold.

I got my new “Dog in Yard; Please Close the Gate” signs. They’re copper and a little fancy for my lousy fence, but they will look good when I replace the fence. I need to get wire to attach it to the fence. I also got my NokBox (Next of Kin Box).

My dentist was worried about the temporary bridge and crowns coming off, so I bought some filling repair stuff to take with me on my business trip.

I am not feeling great. I think that I’ll go to bed early. The sore tooth hurt a bit when I ate. Submitted a grocery order for tomorrow morning. We’re low on cat food. I bought cloth napkins and placemats as well as food. Oops, I want microfiber cloths too (done).

I brought the NoxBox supplies upstairs, but it's too damn hot to clear off the top of the filing cabinet for it. I'll go to sleep soon and get up early to do stuff up here. But I do have some packages downstairs to open before I got to bed. The downstairs is quite comfortable. Also, I have some Italian homework, but I'll bring it downstairs to do.

Started washing out litter boxes before my trip.

Zara is loving me up. :) My heart is full of love for this funny little cat.

My final exam has posted. I looked through it to have it percolating in the back of my mind while I mow. I'm going to work on it and the writeup for my algorithms class tonight.

Crud. I got the wrong extension cord (a two-prong) for the air conditioner. Walmart required shipping for a three-prong, so I ordered one from Amazon and it should get here tomorrow. I guess that I'll go to Lowe's if need be tomorrow. Actually, I'll borrow my power strip for the computer to test it today.

Had lunch. Showered. It’s gotten lateish, so I’m going to go to the post office to get it off of my list. Also pick up some toothpaste. All done. I also got a notebook and erasable pens for my conference. And gas.

Went in the basement to try to turn on the outside water. The garden needs watering. I turned on a spigot that has to be it based on how the lines run, but no water. I guess that I’ll have to get a plumber in here to look at it. I’ll need to clean off the basement stairs first.

Zara wants food. I have a headache, so I took some acetaminophen and am eating some cheesecake. Zara wants the cheesecake. Forget it, Zara. (Yes, I fed her and Mimi.)

Decided to lie down for an hour to get rid of the headache. Okay, I didn’t sleep but my headache is mostly gone.

Crappity crappity crap. The lawn mower stopped working. The safety key broke off. I do have an extended warranty on it, but I need something else while it gets fixed. I wonder if I could rent a gas mower from Home Depot just to knock down the lawn. Nope.

I ordered a new, more expensive mower from Lowe’s to come on Monday. I’m learning that you get what you pay for with mowers. I need to find the extended warranty to get this one fixed. Sigh.

I’m cooling off and then I’m going to work on the garden.

I better work on cleaning and packing this weekend so that I can concentrate on mowing after the new mower gets here.

I decided to work on the garden in the morning when it’s cool.

I got my property tax bill and it isn’t too horrible. I also got the sweater dryer so I can wash the sweater.

Got some shorts and a t-shirt out for cleaning the bathroom.

Started going through clothes boxes. I found some nice clothes, but I need to wash them. My back hurts. I lay down on the bed to stretch my back out, and Zara joined me.

Oh good. Here comes a storm. Wow, rain is coming down in buckets.

Emptied another couple of boxes. Haven’t found my tweed blazers yet. Oh ugh, I think that they might be in storage in Michigan. I found some black blazers though and black jeans and black yoga pants. I’ll work something out. Oh, I found one tweed blazer! It's coming to Minneapolis with me!

Started my mass quantities of laundry. Tried to pay my first installment of the property taxes, but the Web site timed out. I'm tired and it's hot upstairs and my back hurts. I think that I'll go to bed early and get up early.

Yay! I found my PacSafe backpack, which is going to Minneapolis and Italy with me. I'll start packing it tomorrow.
