Yesterday I went to the "nearby" city and took care of some financial and business stuff that needed doing. My hubby's death has messed up my government pension - "they" claim that I did not send in the "right forms/information". Yesterday I went to my income tax preparers and they will take care of that for me. Also, I submitted the application for my passport renewal. I went shopping and met with some dear friends for a nice visit.
It was a nice day for me. I left the grandkids at home with my adult DS in charge. They survived! LOL I didn't get home until 11 pm.
For today - - bake buns - finish getting my purchases out of car and find homes for it (last night I dealt with the groceries but nothing else) - put frosting on a birthday cake (DS's birthday is tomorrow) - chase more weeds in the garden - check on van repairs - book a time to change oil in my car - other tasks?

We had a wonderful downpour yesterday after a long drought, and I hadn't even done my raindance! We came back from town without finishing our errands because we didn't have umbrellas.
Yesterday afternoon I studied some legal advice regarding DSF's will - an emotionally draining time but DH understands that I am upset and that helps.
Haven't got a lot done today, but the duvet cover got washed and hung on the line, and I washed my hair. Went into town with DH and had lunch out and ran the errands. Of course his hardware shopping activities took up a lot of time as he always runs into people he knows! There wasn't much of the afternoon left when we got back.
Did the dailies Picked up a passport form (don't you wish they were for 10 years, Darlene?) Took back an apple sectioner that fell apart! Bought a new hummingbird feeder and assembled it. Fetched in the garbage can and recycling Took out the compost Put up the new hummingbird feeder Refilled the peanut feeder Photographed and identified a butterfly
Need to fold some towels and then I'm done for today.

I took today and tomorrow off from work, so hope to get lots accomplished! I've a mile-long to do list, but don't want to spend all my vacation time doing housework & running errands, either.
JDIs for today:
- Paperwork/bills/filing - Leave instructions for gardener - Call and schedule gymnastics class for DD - Take DD to gymnastics & back - Call & schedule Dr's appt. for DD - Search for a certain misplaced item (I hate it when I find better homes for things and then, can't remember where it is!) - still lookinh - Load of laundry - Clean my bedroom - STARTED - Take DD shopping if she's up to it (she's feeling a bit under the weather) - Knit/sew

Bless, Been looking for a battery for the leaf blower forever it seems. Nice to know I am not the only one who does that! LOL
Well our list is complete, and we went out to lunch to celebrate. Had a car load of items to donate, sell. Bummed out on prices at the bookstore, but decided it is worth getting them out of the house.

I went on a hunt myself for my camera cord... turns out it was still in my craft bag from vacation ~ I hadn't unpacked it and obviously didn't return it to its "home".
DDs had their final lesson (exams are tomorrow). DD1 is at rehearsal and DD2 has a friend over. We had to make a second trip out to the theatre as DD forgot to wear her runners and wore the taboo flipflops... wouldn't be so bad (20mile round trip)~ just have to go through 2 construction zones is all...
JDI: *swim lessons DONE *take DD to rehearsal DONE *pick DD up from rehearsal *basics ~ mostly DONE *3 things off *the* List *place orders *mix cookie dough *fill gas tank/wash car
PS Bless: consider yourself highly flattered ~ we got a TONNE done!
