A Quiet Thursday

I say quiet...but then when I think about it, I have visited with several folk...both on the phone and Nathan stopped by for a few minutes this morning. I did a little vacuuming both downstairs and upstairs. The funny thing that I cleaned today was my new vacuum cleaner...I purchased filters for the vacuum...one of my Prime Days "bargains." The filters that are in the vacuum need to be cleaned every so often and the way you clean them is washing them and they they can't be put back in the vacuum cleaner till they are totally dry. Around here, it takes things a while to dry sometimes so I decided that it would be good to have an extra filter so I had one to put back in when I washed one. So I did that today since I had the new ones. Joy is still not "back to herself," I'm sorry to say...patience is the name of the game. We will all be glad once she has been seen by a specialist in Nashville. Kathy did say that perhaps she isn't in as much pain as she has taken less of her pain meds today...hopefully that is a positive sign. Going back to my Prime Days bargains...the only things that I purchased were things that I was planning to buy last week and decided to wait till Prime Days to see if by any chance any of them were marked down...and three of the four items were. So I just bought what I was going to get anyway...just saved a little due to Amazon Prime Days. I have alternated between a little cleaning and cross stitching. I did finish another ornament yesterday and started another one so I have stitched on the new one today. We did have a short period of rain this afternoon. After it stopped raining, I went out with my Grandpa's Weeder and pulled a few more weeds...it does work...works better on certain kinds...likes weeds like dandelions better than 'skinny" weeds...needs some heft to grab on to...at least that is what I found out with my short effort this afternoon. The mosquitos drove me back inside...they were quite interested in checking me out...their interest was not welcomed by me! Melany is coming in the morning to complete what weeding she plans to do for me this summer...her summer is waning all too quickly! Less than a month left of her summer vacation. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
