billroperI'm going to the Cubs vs. Reds game tomorrow night and decided that I could skip today's game against the Orioles, which meant that I missed a great ending, but how can you know?
What I *did* know was that there were a lot of things that needed to be done around the house. Gretchen and Julie spent several hours straightening things up in the dining room. There are *still* a lot of things in there that need to be dealt with, but I was able to put the table back in the useful position for a table with chairs around it for the first time since the COVID pandemic. We will take this as a win.
I also got two more loads of laundry done, took the two new monitors down to the basement to be installed later this week, cleaned the air filters on the A/C system, dispatched a mountain of bubble wrap in the living room that the monitors had been wrapped in for shipping, threw out a bunch of trash, and threw the ball for Ruby the Dog.
The last was the activity that probably made me and the dog happiest. :) Although there's a *lot* to be said for the dining room cleanup...
It was eighty degrees downstairs despite my best efforts as of a few minutes ago, so I have given up and buttoned the house back up with the A/C turned on. I need to be in the office working tomorrow and I would *much* rather be comfortable.
