Notes - nap time /

       Mid-morning. Greg, the plumber, has not yet arrived. Larry said it would be after eight-thirty. You were up early for a relaxing soak bath. Something new – you have itchy patches just below and above the elbows. You thought it was poison ivy but that doesn’t seem to be the case. You put skin cream from the dermatologist on it and it helps better than poison ivy medicine. It is a mostly sunny morning. Carol is playing with Jadah upstairs. Spooky is relaxing in her favorite chair in the living room with you. – Amorella

       Greg arrived half an hour ago, has the tub in place and has now left for extra materials. Carol found her planner (she has saved all of her yearly planners). – Amorella

       0937 hours. I need to touch up the paint on the outdoor table before we take it up to the deck. This should be a good time to work before it is too hot.

       You cut back more honeysuckle bushes by the lower flower garden (you have to move the cuttings) and cleaned off the table. When it dries you can paint the affected sections. When these things are done you will have accomplished another one of seemingly endless house/yard chores. – Amorella

       1028 hours. I still have seven bags of mulch to distribute before we head to Florida on the ninth.

       A late afternoon note from Larry says no work tomorrow; Joe will be here at about eight-thirty on Tuesday. After Greg left (with the plumbing working and new faucets attached and ready for tiling and externals for the tub), you had lunch from Road Street Italian and a Graeter’s for dessert. You are ready for a nap. Post. – Amorella
