TIS MONDAY. I had plans of continuing painting in the PANTRY, but the temps are down and the thought of working in the COTTAGE SHED comes to mind. I would very much like to have this storage section of the garage cleared out before AUTUMN so I can get the walls and floor painted making a clean spot for Christmas and Holiday decor to be stored at the COTTAGE as we downsize from the main house.
With the SUMMER temps usually so HOT it is unbearable to work in the shed with the heat index...the milder temps would sure help out. CHANGE OF PLANS...I will be working in the shed instead of painting in the pantry. I have got to stay flexible.
TEMPS are down and I need to take advantage of this to continue clearing out the junk in there. Not sure how long the temps will be in the 70s/80s before climbing into the 90s/100s again. This weather reminds me that AUTUMN will come and we will rejoice that we got through this very HOT SEASON once again. The pumpkins and gourds will begin to appear for decorating.
We have had some really HOT temps, but expect this for the month of JULY. August hits in less than week!!!
Washed some underwear this morn and will dry them in the clothes dryer over at the COTTAGE.
Yesterday, I painted in the COTTAGE PANTRY. Felt pretty good about what I got done. Hubby had an incredibly busy day as he started by mowing the main house's lawn, digging and shuffling a pile of dirt from the back yard of the COTTAGE to fill in some sunken ground in the front yard, and swept the floor in the gutted bathroom. Shucks, all I did was standing on my head to paint the trim in the pantry. grins. When I have to do stunts getting off the floor in my old body, it is a work-out. Thankful no cameras are around.
It rained durning the night. I had trouble falling asleep as I was up until 4 in the morning. I think I'm geared up about getting the pantry completed and moving onto the next COTTAGE PROJECT that I can do as HUBBY works on the BATHROOM. I move rather slow having energy issues that have nothing to do with the mind field and everything to do with thyroid issues.
I was reminded that there is a sight on the internet that shares about getting blood-work done without a doctor. I think I need to have my TSH checked to see if it is off the charts before waiting until September to have blood drawn for a thyroid appointment. When I am extremely hypothyroid, my fingernails get brittled, I become more fatigue than usual, heart rate a tad bit slow, some trouble falling asleep, nervous, stubborn weight loss....all indicate that my thyroid levels might be too high. So, I think I need to do an on-line ordering of test and go to QUEST for a draw this week.
Pretty neat huh?
CHRISTMAS IN JULY really does happen this time of year as the CHRISTMAS DECOR is beginning to show up on the shelves at HOBBY LOBBY. I was in there the other day and blinked when I saw their inventory starting to show high up on the shelves. For sure it is CHRISTMAS DECOR.
4th of July decor was discounted. Some AUTUMN STUFF was being placed out and whaalaah there amongst it all were CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS. I blinked and thought of Christmas in July!!! is for real.
It's Christmas ALL YEAR ROUND in some specialty shops. These are fun to visit whenever.
Not sure how much I will get done today and that's alright...I'm sort of retired. At least I will be in motion.
Well, I had better get moving and get after it as the day is getting away from me,

Today's Scripture draw: "I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
-Revelation 3:20
Prayer on the flip side of card: Lord, teach me to listen. Help me to creatively wait in thy presence. May thy voice find mine a listening ear.
