Still having trouble getting on line. I may have to replace the equipment. Possibly it is the phone company so I will need to wait it out. Just a quick check in since it is working (editing) at the moment. BBL hopefully!

Oooh! Good luck. Hoping it's the phone company! I'm getting a bit of a late start this morning.
TaDas:
-loaded DW, ran it
-rebooted laundry x2
-took care of some items in DD's room lying about that do NOT need laundered and were removed from the floor. There are issues, editing. Continuing to keep hers separated rest is a good strategy, has minimized questions and blame for inability to locate items considerably.
-took picture of inside/outside house for pet adoption application and have completed the application and submitted this morning. I'm not sure how long it takes. I know some of the cats still need spay/neuter and so aren't available until that is done. But have specified our top choices for the moment for what is available. I think it takes several weeks and then I think we attend a monthly adoption event at the pet store to meet the animals.
Have grabbed garbage bags to start on the upstairs hallway. I need to get bubble wrap/or foam wrap to wrap some framed pictures for storage. I will do this on my way to pick DD up from school.
DS has an after school "date". I hope this girl is a nice girl, DS is a nice boy and a late bloomer, so I hope it goes well for him.
Hope your day is going well.

Updated:
-two loads of laundry done, laid out in DD's room.
-Garage: turned a box so it was "skinny"on a shelf which allowed me to move DD's sewing maching/case and kit case down to that shelf as well. This cleared another shelf entirely after moving some canned goods to inside the house that need to go in pantry.
-got 8 yards of tiny bubble wrap to wrap framed pictures at home from guest room closet
-picked DD up from activity
-arranged her tutoring time for math, she's smart/in advance class but there are hiccups now and again
-wrapped and packing taped 7 framed pictures, carried down to garage and placed on empty shelf
-used huge construction type bag and bagged DD's old valances, hardware, and the make shift valance and café curtains we'd done previously for her, attached not of explanation and loaded in car.
-grocery shopped for kid lunch stuff,
-made dinner, same dinner as last night because I had excess of Heavy cream and Parmesan cheese that needs used up, everyone liked it so I just did it again, it was so yummy and easy!
-put away all hand wash items that had been on counter a couple of days.
-washed the new hand wash, rinsed and is drying and all the dinner dishes are done.
CB'd Dropped following at donation station:
-grabbed a bulky blue wood shelf I'm never going to hang anywhere that my mom off loaded to me from garage
-took a bulky ceramic jug from guest room closet hiding behind clothes, mom also off loaded on me which I have never any intention of displaying anywhere
-took the box I'd filled with some of DD's clothes, my clothes, kids hats, old alarm clock, DD craft thing she never wants to do, I forget what else was in there, a few pillows, it was full.
-bag of the drapery hardware
The guestroom is looking almost clear and the box and pictures removed from upstairs hallway is good. There is bit more to go through, what is donatable vs. trash and some boxes to break down which will be easy but make big impact for clearing space. Good to have those messy draperies and parts gone that were all over the floor.
Hope your day was good.
