Good morning!
DS1 will come home in a couple of hours, and DH will be home sometime after lunch.
I have an almost fully open day. This morning, I'm going to drop off a lot of things at a charity shop. I took advantage of DH's trip to clear out my closet. The pile of things I haven't worn for a year is going... because the pile of things I *have* worn is more than plenty! I am also donating a few items that are fairly new. I've gotten compliments, but it doesn't matter because I hate them when I'm wearing them. So they can serve someone else well.
I think I need to do a massive tidy (as opposed to a "quick" tidy) in the front living room and dining room. Those rooms are adjacent, and they accumulated a TON of things this week... which have to go.
Have a great day, ladies.

Well yesterday went very sideways - again. No housework got done and we didn't make it to Bible study either. Both DH and I ended up working until 7.30 last night.
Today I have already gotten my major items finished, so it is just monitoring my emails to make any corrections. I will work on getting the laundry done and catching up on the housework.
Gina, let us know when you get the results of the test.

I haven’t heard anything yet. I’ll give her or her nurse until 2:00 before I call them. I went in the garden and picked three loofah gourds this morning. I thought the okra was finished since it hadn’t produced anything for a week or two (plants still looked good). I had even quit watering them. Well, this morning I picked eight okra so I watered the plants well. Picked the last four tiny tomatoes. I never finished cleaning the bedroom the other day so I’ll do that today. Also work on the quilt. My sister just got back from a 10 day Baltic cruise last night so I’ll call her. This evening I’ll pick up the discarded produce.

Not working today. I have to work Saturday, which I HATE, but if I don't, my poor disabled manager will be there alone. So today I went to exercise class and I will be shopping this afternoon for mainly things like cleaning supplies. In between, my bed is made, quiet time done, need to sweep and vacuum and hopefully clean all the window sills from the grit from the storms. Supposed to have no more rain for at least a week, just lots of heat. Yuck!

Sandra, not yet. I called at 1:45 and the receptionist looked in the computer and said they hadn’t gotten the results yet. She said the doctor or nurse will call me as soon as they get it.

Praying, Gina!
We ended up making chili (it was WONDERFUL!) with the tomatoes yesterday, and dd2 and my son-in-law came over for supper. We didn't get around to making the eggplant lasagna last night, so we'll make it this evening, but we'll use a jar of spaghetti sauce since we used the tomatoes for chili.
I made refrigerator pickles with the cucumbers. Not sure what to do with the banana peppers. I thought about making pickled pepper rings just for the fridge, without canning them. The produce man said they were SWEET, but I cut one up to put in my eggs this morning and it seemed spicy. It wasn't flaming hot like a jalapeño but still a little hot for my taste. Any suggestions what I can do with these?

I wonder if putting them in some pickles would tone down the spiciness?
