Today has a fairly simple agenda.
I have a single class (at 7:00 AM).
For dinner, DH wants to grill burgers. We didn't buy rolls, so I may make some.
But in between....
DS1 plans to study all day.
DS2 has an 8-hour work day.
DS3 has his class this afternoon. (The instructor is based in Great Britain, so no Labor Day for her. He could watch the class recorded later, but I think he does better when it's live. Today's recipe is raspberry cheesecake brownies).
In the morning, DH, DS3 and I will be pulling everything - everything - except furniture out of DS2 & DS3's room. It's just reached a point where we can no longer say, "You have to live in there," or whatever. My "plan" is to basically pull stuff out into the TV room, and then get picky about what goes back. DS3 was looking to make this an all day (dragged out) event, even wanting to skip his class. Nope. There is no reason to drag anything except for the miscellanea all over their room. I feel a little bad about doing this when DS2 can't be there, but... he was forewarned. He is working huge numbers of hours between work and school, but he does have some downtime. He could have made a dent, and he didn't. So he will have to deal with the consequences (which may mean coming home to a pile of stuff not in his room that he has to stow properly or donate). We shall see. I plan to be done with this activity by mid-afternoon at the absolute latest.
Have a great day, ladies.

Dh is off work for the holiday and is tearing down our old bed. It's 18 or 20 years old and is a sleep number bed. The controls still work and the air chambers are ok, but the rest of it is broken all over and needs gone. At this point, it would cost as much to buy a new one as to replace all the old, broken and worn down areas. I have to sleep in a recliner (since my car accident) and dh doesn't care about having a sleep number bed, so we're replacing it with the full-size guest bed. This will give a little more space to move around in our room and since I need to buy new sheets anyway, I'll just get new full-size to replace the old queen-size sheets.
I need to sew but it will have to wait until dh is finished. Otherwise, I will lose my mind from the constant mess and interruptions while trying to focus on sewing.

Ryan is getting holiday pay today, so I am currently home alone. So far, bed made, quiet time done, beds have been stripped and two loads of laundry done with one to go. Even though it is hotter than snake spit, it is September, so I am swapping out my spring and summer decor for fall stuff. The cool weather can't come fast enough! I have a friend coming at 2:00 to take me to the grocery store to get all the things Aldi's didn't have, and I need to clean the bathroom. I also want to hit the kitchen cabinets which have not been cleaned in far too long.
Ok, the laundry is done, the beds both made, the bathroom is scrubbed, breakfast and lunch dishes done, my Autumn decor is out and the summer stuff put away, so when I get home from the store, all that needs to be done is clean the cabinets.

Got the animals fed & watered early this morning. Then went to a friend’s sister’s house to pick up a lot of food. She goes grocery shopping then decides she doesn’t want to cook. I got four kitchen trash bags of frozen food and three brown paper bags of pantry food plus disposable masks and wipes. Got all the frozen stuff unloaded and in the freezers then the guy called for me to come get the day old bread. On the way home stopped by the neighbor’s for her to pick what bread and pantry stuff she wanted. Resting and watching tv.
