{amyparker} I hope the concert brought a lot more smiles than tears.

Was a lazy slug yesterday so doing more stuff today. The list is long.

Laura, I was in the lazy slug club with you yesterday.

Whew, and, huh. I've been jogging again for the last couple of months, in the very early morning because if I wait until aftter I get home from work I'll never do it, plus air quality starts dropping around mid-morning and stays in the orange zone until the fog rolls in at night. So, rise, jog, come back and Hec has coffee and oatmeal waiting for me.

Last night had some badly broken sleep—I couldn't move without coffee first. Which delayed the run until AQI had crept up just past green (not good), but also cut 20 sec/mile off my time (awesomely good). Caffeine is truly magical.

I cannot tell you how life changing this hiring Aidan thing is. I think he is going off to college next year, so I need a back up, but he just took down 4 boxes of books and 6 trash bags to the curb, and changed my lightbulb in the hall in under an hour, he also cuddled the cat. that would have taken me a whole day! I still have one box Togo down, plus one box to go through.

With Husband being unemployed, me being flexibly employed, and both of us being night owls (me only when I don't need to get up in the morning for things, him a far nightier owl than me), bedtime keeps slipping later and later. I didn't get to sleep last night until 3:30AM. Not great, Bob.

Sophia, I need to hire someone like that. One of my biggest problems dealing with clutter is needing someone around to do all the heavy lifting. When I'm by myself I end up getting frustrated by something I can't do and then give up.

Timelies all!

Listening to concerts at Philcon. Soon we will head home.

Even seeing Maria around it was telling me that I do not have the physical strength to take things down my stairs. Even my friend Katie, who is over sixty, can carry more stuff than I can, I think I lost a lot of muscle when I lost weight.

I am, right now, ready willing and able to throw money at this issue. Happier to throw $20 bucks at my godson than $200 on cleaners. I will have to find someone next year, but I live near a high school, so maybe I can find someone there. Although once all the junk is gone, it should probably be only one bag a week which is doable.

I just painted my bathroomwith mold killing paint. Probably my landlords job, but I am on a roll

I am very sore after the "Pure Barre" class I took yesterday. Ow.

Am also contemplating making muffins. But then getting bogged down in how I'd need to put clothes on and go to the store.
