Ron replaced the outer front door handle, and that was very good.
He also got the chopper/shredder unpacked.
I dug out grass from the last freestanding garden.
I destroyed two sets of outdoor lights trying to decorate the big front shrub.
Got into a screaming match with Ron over placing the wheels on the shredder. He was also irritatingly and irrationally bossy at the transfer station.
Ron bitched and moaned but we brought home the shredder I have longed for anyway.
My goal was to get it inside since it’s supposed to start raining later tonight.
We slid the 125 pound box down half of the extension ladder from the truck bed to the deck and then to the driveway, onto the hand truck and into the shed. We were able to fit it in the shed with all our other yard equipment, including the hand truck.
We also stopped at Trader Joe’s. Ron made a brief foray to Whole Foods on the lookout for Crofter’s jam.
We had a delightful (for me anyway) supper of soup, good bread and cheese.
Made pumpkin bread with gluten free flour and guar gum, forgetting that I’d added breadcrumbs to the pumpkin puree yesterday.
The bread turned out spectacularly: high, wide, beautiful.
Was able to apply for UI benefits; the final approval is dated today. Applied for three jobs.
Set up a new account at the new UWM website and took care of the December payment.
Poor Ron had to fast until 11:15 for a blood test. He was very disciplined; did the laundry and took a shower while he waited.
Kale and a couple of chard leaves from the garden.
“Vikings”: hail Ivar.
Baked the pumpkin from Edgewater today.
Had lunch with Paul at Panera.
Drapery hardware arrived today.
Good news from UI.
More work on “Roving”.
We moved the stained glass to the front window.
Ron mowed and mulched both front and back yards.
I dug up weeds from the birch garden and did a cropping of gone-bys. Was able to work in shirt sleeves most of the time.
No cooking today.
Made two pumpkin pies and a pumpkin pudding.
Ron washed the floors and ferried Robert to and from work.
Good appointment today with DvH. Bad cholesterol is down, good is up. Got a tetanus shot. Dog has had all her shots.
Ron made ravioli and salad for supper.
Dropped off the sign to A&A on the way back from Teaticket. Bought Ron a couple of bags of penny candy!
Cleaned up the front of the fence. Brought trash, yard debris, recycling and a mattress to the transfer station.
Stopped at Panera to pickup my freebies, a bagel and a bowl of soup. Brought hot chocolate to iCape; both boys were working today.
Picked up eggs, garlic and salad turnips from Pariah Dog. Bailey got excited and nicked the little finger on my left hand. I think he thought the turnips were treats.
Laundry and sheets, as usual.
Planted garlic in the corn garden.
Check engine light on again.
We’re passing on holiday events this year, even the open house at the Historical Society.
Picked up a slew of tool hangers for the sheds. Ordered new hardware for the traverse rod. Bought facecloths and a bath sheet for Ron.
Ron made burritos for supper. I roasted squash and pumpkin this morning.
Sussed out a vexing problem with Warranty. Made good progress on RovingGM.
Loaded the weedings into the truck. Sifted out a bucket and a half of soil.
Made it to CLab at 7; they’d already taken care of about a dozen people.
Finished removing grass from the corn and bean gardens.
Made progress on both projects for Jim.
Ordered overalls yesterday for Ron; they shipped today.
