Junk Day

Jun 17, 2023 02:41


Hmm. The junk haulers said between 8 AM and 10, and I was ready, but silence so far. I could have slept later! I've been working on the kitchen table while I wait. I also installed the Picture This app to identify a vine growing in the front yard; it's a grape. It also said that the plant that I like, which we thought was an almond, is a Japanese spiraea.

The junk luggers called and they'll get here around 10. It was 10:15. They got all the plumbing stuff. They did an estimate on the garage and basement, and it came out to $2600, which is doable. I have an appointment to get it done next Friday.

Ugh. I have over $1000 in my flexible spending account, and only $500 can roll over to next year. (I had a lot fewer therapy appointments than anticipated because I've been in Michigan.) I chose a pair of fancy-shmancy glasses with Transitions lenses as a backup pair in the FSA store, but I want to doublecheck my pupillary distance. So I'll order them tomorrow. No, I bought some OTC hearing aids. I just had enough money. I'll still get a backup pair of glasses, but I'll get it from Zenni.

I tried to get the algae out of the pond, but it was too big to scoop up. I'll contact the pond guy next week. My plant identification app said that it's duckweed, not algae. There are chemicals that can get rid of it.

We got out of work early for the holiday weekend (we get Juneteenth off), which was nice. I took a nap and slept through until 3 AM. I'm going to eat and go back to sleep. The cats are still asleep. Oops, Zara got up and wants food.
