July Heat

It is so awfully muggy and has been for a week or so. No rain yet, but moisture abounds, yet the ground is as hard as a rock. Still things to do in the garden before the season ends- particularly moving the daylilies from the house surround. Finish through from the west side until under the kitchen window, so probably a bit more than half. Not sure what will get done.

Sears finished the fascia (and related), after a third post-installation visit. In my eyes, not perfect, but very good considering the sloppiness of the first crew. No discount, which pissed me off, but at least it is done. With a long list of TTDs to do around here, I had hoped that Sears would have been a long-term relationship. Now, I am not sure. Still, I am very happy with the windows. We shall see.

Off to Monroe tomorrow to see Grandma. It has been three years since my last visit and is way past-due. Been a long time since David and I took a road trip, and although I am excited, I worry that he will not par well. Also, Eva, who is still on-again-off-again with her health. We'll be gone for the rest of the week, returning early Sunday morning (probably). I have a lot of things to do today to prepare, plus dentist tomorrow morning, along with last-minute errands, before we go.

Landscaping will begin the week we return. The final cost is a bit higher than expected, but OK. I had to decline the new driveway to stay near the budget. Maybe next year. It will take a couple of weeks for the demo and install and I have things I have to move before the project begins. Looking forward to getting that done.

Saw Tim at his new studio, Pioneer, about finishing the sleeve. Date set for Nov 12.

Still things on my summer list before I have to focus on school. Gotta get it done.

David's Bday

David's family over last night; mother coming today.

Somewhat uneasy.... unsettled. Began yesterday.
Momentum is a little lost, in-between.

Gotta get back on track before it consumes me.

Eva

Emergency vet on Friday; not eating or drinking and otherwise somewhat lethargic. Enlarged liver, among other issues.

Brought her home Sunday morning, still obviously under-the-weather and slept pretty much all day, but eating a little and drinking.

Today, not the same, not necessarily as bad as Friday, but something is up. We think a fever. Over to the vet for fluids and observation.

We shall see.
