I have new linoleum on my dining room floor, and will have new carpet in the living room come Monday! The installer called yesterday morn and asked if I could have the dining room ready for him by today and I said yes. What a job! You just would not believe all that fits into my china cabinet...and of course it had to be unloaded to be able to move it.

Also my computer is set up in the dining room, so had to take it down. Just a great big maze of cords! I took it down and put it right back up till I wouldn't be without it. Only to get up this morn to find I was without internet service. I was on the phone with teck support for almost two hours before she finally gave up and decided it was on their end. At least it was someone I could understand--they had an accent but I don't mind so long as they understand me and I understand them.

The guy was here promptly at 9:00 to install the linoleum. I held the door for him while he brought things in...then rather than just stand and watch him, I brought in more jars and washed them. Then went and picked tomatoes

like the ones shown here and made 5 more
quarts of salsa. They are not perfect to look at but sure taste delicious....

I have been getting the dining room emptied out--I get new linoleum put in tomorrow. I have been at this room for the most of the day and still have this computer to take down. I am not sure if I am going to set it up in another room or just leave it down while the job is being done.


I cannot believe the amount stuff that was crammed into the china cabinet...and all of it stuff that I do want to keep. Things my children have given me for the most part with a few things from other people. So I don't think I will be disposing of any of it. I think my younger daughter would want some of it if she had room, but she has less room for stuff like that than I do.


Other than being really glad to be getting this done, I truely wish it was another time. I have lots of tomatoes about ready to can--I probably should make a small batch of salsa tonight. Will see what I feel like when we get this room ready and

Monday morning and rain....I don't think we will get a lot but it will probably put a halt to lawn mowing. That is okay. I had rather mow it towards the end of the week and would like to slowly get it back there. I was mowing on Fridays for a while, then we had a dry spell where I didn't mow for a month or over. Next came rain for several days and I had to grab the chance to mow...which happened to be a Monday, and Monday it has been for a while.

I have been in a horrible mood...can't stand myself even. I think about quilting and taking pictures but that is as far as it goes. Ever since I discovered I had cut my lining too short for the log cabin quilt top, I have just been out of the mood.

I have tons of laundry to do...got off track with that the past few days also. All last week I suffered with that just totally exhausted feeling every day. I had some place to go every single day, and even though it was nothing much to do, I would come home totally wiped out. I went to the library and my back hurt so bad that I didn't stay long enough to even make a nice selection of books.

I went to my younger daughter's another day for a couple of three hours, we did not do anything other than visit, and I came home exhausted. I get to feeling like a hypochondriac, but I don't think I am. I have not been to a doctor in over a year. Not for anything. Wouldn't a hypochondriac be running to the doctor?

I went to some yard sales with my older daughter Saturday--neither one of us found any treasures. No, I take that back. There was a woman selling iris bulbs for a $1 each and I bought three. I have not planted them yet....that is something else I need to do in the next day or two.
