Summer


I was tired of Christmas and have to move my New Years Resolutions back to January.

In Summer I make a to do list. I’ve only gotten two things done in the first 6 months.

Merge Mansion wise I just d/l the update for August I’m still making Exotic Plants! 

Pending Summary
- Detached from and free to be me (like before 2005)
- Grow my brain back
- Move to safety (no clue where or when)
Although it’s being discouraged. The dinner boat is reported as gone.
- Norwex year!

I’ve been working on Maintenance’s 
Still left outside
1. ✅ Power/Pressure Wash porch and walkways
- Probably remove one walkway (this would be the next step instead of repair)
✅ Rehang swing with S hooks
✅ Block fasteners instead of repair swing
✅ Orange Glo Swing (mineral oil was the 2nd ingredient)
- Possibly re-stain swing
- Ants! (have ready)
- Hang the Address Plaque my mom purchased in 2007
2. Take down front awning  
If I hire someone I’ll add the side and back awnings down too (Goal September. I have 2 choices I think)
- Hang paper blinds inside (have ready)
I might just clean them now. The rehab on my house broke the plastic pulls (tassels) and now that I’m doing the back door I broke one of those. (11 replacements ready) The Dish Brush/EnviroCloth is doing a good job on it though. Just time consuming.
3. Leaves (have to dig out my car)
- Carport (left side done)
- Patio
4. Remove weeds on hard surfaces (have ready)
I had some Ortho from when I first moved in to finish and got halfway through. That spray is good until Nov but not much has died so far.
- Raid grass front and back (have ready)
5. Water my 3 flowers 🌺  🌸  💐 
- Fertilize July✅ August
I’ll give up when I have the bed of soil redone. This might include removing that concrete. I’m watching what grows out of curiosity. Unfortunately a lot of rocks
6. HVAC service (might be fall)
7. Fall Scott Weed and Seed Grass (have ready)
*** I asked a grounds crew about what to use in July. 

Tons to do inside still! 
I’m still at “recycling”
and Windows 
added Organize Kitchen
Smoke Alarm Batteries 

Main Purchases (this started as “Black Friday”)
1. New toilet/Kitchen faucet (leading to plumber! Two choices - City Waitlist I’d have to move my things or I do this part myself) 311 cleared
2. Kitchen Lights (now I need an electrician… possibly a ballast but they’re not working) 
*** Good news: I’m getting an estimate from someone who might do both plus the HVAC
3. Dyson Vacuum 

Goals
1. Budget Bills monthly (made it to August!)
2. Check with Weatherization 
3. Check with Lowes to Paint 
Porter was suggested 
4. Reclaim Medicare Benefits 
- but there’s no reason to until I have a Car again
Food/OTC/Glasses/Dentist is not walkable
- I still need Physical Therapy: Run over, kicked in the head, lots of fall downs and hand/wrist. 

Insurance
- Fix Car
- Door
