…makes a  man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

With my mug of coffee, I’m ready to dash outdoors to tackle more downsizing projects. An awesome sixty-five degrees outdoors!! ~~ Absolutely NO interest in watching the TV coverage of Muller before Congress.

Yours truly is “healthy” but not “wealthy.” Someone else needs to comment on the measure of my wisdom.

Multi-tasking: Doing laundry while working to “donate” and “discard.” Because my landlady and her stepson are extremely unhealthy, I sanitize the washing machine before I wash my clothes. (Remember, we no longer have hot water and landlady refuses to allow me to purchase a new tank!!) I sanitize with a “super” load of water, a cup of bleach, and a cup of OxiClean (but I’m not sure that is a substitute for “hot” water). Personally, I do not use bleach–or OxiClean–but “what’s a gal to do?”. (I prefer an organic soap product that’s good for the septic tank–and my clothes.)

.

The temperature is PERFECT!! My energy is depleted!! So much I’d like to do!! Sadly, I’ve been sitting on the (attractive) patio trying to muster the energy to start another project.

Gratefully, several new experiences: (1) A good night’s sleep, and (2) a “cold front” moving our direction and the temperature is cooler. I’m heading outdoors for “donate” and “discard” activities. ~~ At 6:50, the local early morning TV meteorologist said “Still a little hot but improvements are coming. Feeling like October.”  Tomorrow will be better!! The TV anchorman said “Christmas in July”?!

With 20/20 hindsight, these would have burned better with the limbs and leaves. It was painful to “scrap” all that beautiful genealogy!!

.

A lot of “discard” and some items for “donate.” The old lady made measurable progress. Tomorrow will be even more pleasant (weatherwise) so great strides (planned) for “downsizing.”

.

Is it “old age”? Is it the oppressive heat? I have no desire to “do” anything; I don’t even want to prepare food!! The computer(s) and family history is the only thing that attract my attention. 

I fondly remember my travels with my T@B Teardrop trailer. This time nine years ago, I was touring the New England states. Specifically, read the message for July 23, 2010.

No “finish line” in view for me.

I don’t have enough “will power” to walk away from Ancestry on two computers.
