Raised Beds

Now I'm thinking that raised beds for vegetables would look a lot neater near the patio. I'm looking at some at Gardener's Supply. Realistically, I should wait to put in the raised beds after the garage and patio are built, so no lettuce and spinach for me this Spring.

I'm also thinking about lawn seeding. I'll do the front and sides of the house in the Spring, but it doesn't make sense to do the back with all the construction that will be going on.

I found people for dog poop cleanup and leaf raking.

I found a listing for a Border Collie mix who loves playing with other dogs. If she’s still available after my trip, I’ll look into her. It wouldn’t be fair to adopt a dog and promptly go on a trip.

Coach House Garages in Champaign has good reviews. I'll contact them after I have Mom's house money in hand and am back from my trip. And someone to try for the patio.

Today has been another pajama day. It's been quiet at work. We're testing a possible new ticketing system, so that's what I'm doing.

Freezing drizzle is predicted on Saturday morning. Well, I'm not going anywhere.

It turns out that the trust thought that I was asking for all the money in the trust, not just the proceeds from the sale of my mom's house. I don't know where they got that, but I told them that I wanted the house money (for now, anyway).

Fed everyone except me. I’m working on my food (done).

I have a lap full of Oliver and Bella resting her head on my arm. Oliver snuggled for a while, but then started nipping me, so I moved him out of the bedroom.

Napped. Woke up around midnight. I'm in the process of feeding the beasties. Then I'll go back to bed.

I'm tired this morning. I started a load of laundry because I realized that I have no more clean clothes. I ordered two more pairs of (used) jeans last night and a t-shirt with a cat sitting on a crescent moon. I did find another t-shirt that I thought of getting, which says, "I play keyboard for the Internet" :) (done)

I found where Mom stashed her photos last night. I think that I'll hire someone to gather all the framed pictures, wrap them in bubble wrap, and pack them. I'd also have the person pack all the photos in the drawers because I don't have time to go through them right now. I don't know what to do with some photo albums from my aunt's house though. I think that I need to clear out the storage place so that I have a spot to stash packed stuff. And I want the person to bag up my mom's clothes so that I can drop them off.

The handyman is sending out an estimate this afternoon (done and deposit paid). I wish that I knew when the mower guy is coming because I want to put the sprinkler out in the backyard. Plus Ken wants to come by and get the freezer, and I'll need to park on the grass. The mower guy said tomorrow.

It occurred to me to get someone to do my mending for me. (Note to self: Joe's Tailoring, 25847 Lahser Rd, Southfield, MI, (248) 351-0004)

Yay! I've got the camera and a pile of photography books. The battery is charging. I've got my two books about the Canon Rebel out, but want to get some stuff done before I dig in.

My back is killing me, so I'm going to lie down for a while. It helped. I'm looking into massage therapy again.

I've more-or-less decided to do the Amalfi Coast trip in 2025 and Santorini in 2026. The reason for that is that many, many years ago, I found a book in a bookstore with a picture of the Amalfi Coast, and I decided that I wanted to go there. That was the beginning of my interest in Italy, way before I had any interest in the cities. I'd really like to check it off of my list! I'm also looking at a Panama Canal cruise also for 2025 if I can pull off both trips.

I put in a request for a TaskRabbit helper to help me pack stuff on Saturday.

I'm still feeling achy. I took some acetaminophen and my nighttime meds in the hopes that my muscles will relax. I'm going to sleep and plan to get up early. Really :)
