Anna does sound a bit nuts - I don't think I could tolerate her. Good news on the "attic" cleanout! Always nice when you know your former treasures are going to someone who will enjoy them. But yuck on the fountain. Gross cleanup. Maybe you should have them on a regular cleaning schedule?

Re the fountain... I don't think it would need to be drained and cleaned very often when it's on all the time. Maybe once a year if that? But being stagnant for two months making it attractive to wild animals sure made a mess!

yay for this. But I might have had a few words with that designer. ds

We had cold here today too Liz. It was a pants day for sure! The spa felt good tonight!

I get sick of eating out all the time too. We are back on a Hello Fresh kick 3 meals a week. Nice not to have to meal plan or shop for at least some of the meals! Have you tried it yet? I think it might work well for you and DH.

121.2, down from the 122 I saw yesterday.

Our house is pretty much out together! Yay! Today I vacuumed the whole house and finally cleaned all the floors. All rooms except 2 are tile and those 2 are luxury vinyl flooring, so I could use the swiffer wet mop on everything.

Had to sort out banking stuff today. I bounced a $50,000 plus check from one of our new FL accounts. I thought I was writing a check from our Money market account (which has the bulk of our local funds) but wrote it from our checking account instead. Whooooops! No fee from our bank but I might get one from the place I was writing the check to! Grrrrr! All accounts balanced tonight and funds transferred to all checking accounts so checks and automatic withdrawals can be covered. We have way too many accounts right now. Once I'm sure all the automatic deposits and withdrawals are transferred, we can close the WI accounts!

Haircut and color tomorrow! Hope I like my new hairdresser!

I haven't tried Hello Fresh yet because we just haven't been on any kind of schedule this year. Not sure if/when that will happen next year either.

Good luck with the new hairdresser. That's always a critical choice!
