Made a week’s worth of food for Lizzie yesterday.
Ron got one repaired hearing aid from Beltone and dropped off the other to be fixed.
Made an appointment with an electrician to install a ceiling fan/light in the second bedroom. Ordered the unit.
We went to Falmouth to Ron’s credit union affiliate so he could make a deposit and picked up a part at Aubuchon. I treated us to Domino’s for supper; quite good, in fact!
Have been perusing real estate listings. Saw two in Brattleboro that look nice.
Aside from a transfer station run and a big grocery shop, we didn’t do a lot after the big house cleaning on Friday and Saturday.
I’ve been scouring property listings in Vermont, Maine and Berkshire County, Mass. Contacted a couple of realtors today, asked them to please keep an eye out for us.
Primary elections are today. Ron did mail-in and I voted early.
We vacuumed, dusted, scrubbed yesterday and the house looks great, what a pleasure.
Cooled off quite a bit and we enjoyed being outside.
Did two loads of laundry today.
Tired.
Received and set up a new handset in my basement “office” yesterday, easy. Should cut down on the number of missed calls.
Ron and I went to the transfer station and BJ’s for home and meeting goods.
No word from the Select Board or Affordable Housing Committee members. Beginning to think that their duplicity isn’t just suspected.
We watched part of the Conservation Committee video. Brian Weeden’s call for a discussion of conflicts of interest was well taken.
Ron mowed yesterday in heat and humidity, and the property looks 100% better.
We put off the visit with the realtor until Friday.
Got an ad in to support Arden’s candidacy on the Affordable Housing Committee. The meeting was posted on the Town calendar with the wrong time but it was fixed this morning.
The CPC is meeting – finally! – on September 1 at 6:30 PM at the Library.
At yesterday’s Sewer Commission meeting, the Chair insisted that we present our Fudala petition to the Select Board since as far as he was concerned, the recommendation was a done deal for the Commission.
Lizzy had a good night. I was up around 3 and she kept me company until I went back to bed.
Up at 3:30 or so.
By 12:30 I’d made phone calls and appointments, posted in Facebook, checked email and bank accounts, cleaned up dishes from last night and shucked and steamed corn but hadn’t gone outside except briefly, in a light drizzle, with Lizzie.
Whiteboard in hand, went to the Select Board last night to advocate for filming and posting AHC meetings, made a lame joke which one Selectperson “got” about channeling Katie Porter. Left early because I wanted to hear and for some reason, can’t in person but can on TV.
Have been checking out houses in Maine and Vermont.
I got an early start to the transfer station.
Later on, we returned AREDS to Walgreens for a refund and repurchased them with a BOGO deal that saved Ron quite a bit of money.
I installed two of Ron Beaty’s campaign signs.
I did start excavating milkweed roots, but it was too hot to work outside for long, again.
Roasted potatoes. Ron and I made salad for supper.
It being Road Race weekend, we’d talked about staying put but ended up doing three shopping trips, including one to Breakaway for a propane refill that resulted in our buying a new tank.
Ron spent the rest of the late afternoon cleaning the Weber.
Earlier, I’d dropped off shredding at the high school and visited the Wampanoag Farmer’s Market. Brought home some Effie’s, which delighted Ron so much that he went back for two boxes.
Ron had a psych eval yesterday. It was about a 3 hour appointment, the first part of which included both of us.
The doc believes that Ron has short-term memory and impaired reasoning problem and recommended a driving evaluation at Spaulding.
She recommended that I follow on the referral to a neurologist rather than waiting for them.
While we were there, Barrett Plumbing called for the install date, which I was able to find on this blog! It seems they are now on track with Robinson, the supplier.
We stopped at Wendy’s for a late lunch, then Harbor Freight, then Home Depot for a work light. Ron couldn’t resist buying a lava light. Impaired reasoning? I was so annoyed, the cashier gave him a 15% discount.
Next stop was BJ’s for a good-sized shop: cheese for Lizzie, bread, facial tissues, produce, eggs, ice cream, big jar of organic peanut butter.
We stopped at the Marstons Mills Walgreens for AREDS.
After dropping Ron off, I watched the Entrain concert for a while at the Commons. Huge crowd, everyone was having fun.
