No A.C. During Heatwave

 July Journaling

1.     We had a booth at a community event at Ajax Downs. It was hard for me because I had to park so far away, and there was very little shade.

2.     Chiropractor, then a few errands. Still no A.C. It will be fixed on Friday. Made a pink flamingo.

3.     Bible study quizzes, then a combined prayer meeting and home group at someone’s home. Packed up my toys and other crocheted products in preparation for my mom to take that room. Also moving my mom upstairs while they start reno/repairs for water damage to three rooms.

4.     Our a.c. is being repaired today. It was only the capacitor that starts the motor so no cost. Now we will be cool.

5.     The grandkids are coming today for a week, for VBS next week, while their parents go to France to visit our other daughter. Downstairs is being torn up for mold remediation.

6.     Church, then the older kids went to see How To Train Your Dragon, live action at the theatre with their friends and my husband.

7.     First day of VBS, it went well. Then swimming at our friends’ place.

8.     Second day of VBS, then lunch and swimming. Spoke to their parents on facetime.

9.     Third day of VBS, snacks going smoothly. Found out one of my helpers is a drummer in the production of the Lion King we saw.

10. Fourth day of VBS, so far so good.

11. Final day of VBS, then a bbq lunch. Kids dropped off at the other set of grandparents. The black mold is completely gone from the basement now. Then we need to begin the renovation.

12. Big clean up day after a week with the grandkids. We bought my mom a mini fridge for her upstairs room. She may be there a few weeks while the reno goes on. We also brought up her microwave and coffee pot. It’s like a dorm room.

13. Church, with a recap of the VBS.

14. Bank appointment to get financing for the reno. Seems to be hopeful.

15. Got my weight loss medication approved. My doctor will call on Saturday with the prescription. Taking my mom to pick up her meds and go to a doctor’s appointment. Then to dinner at a couple from church.

16. Bloodwork, while my husband is at the optometrist.

17. Home group and prayer meeting had 22 people attending. It got very cool recently.

18. Getting a plan together for the basement renovation.

19. Got an order for an approved weight loss medication. I hope it works when 10 diets have not. I decided to make a Spanish translation of my book, The Legacy Project. AI is amazing to do that in seconds. My friend, Anna has agreed to read through it and check that it sounds conversational.

20. I wrote the draft of a children’s book for my youngest granddaughter about when she lost her stuffie in Jamaica. Started the weight loss medication. Hope it works.

21. Housekeeper. I love her work.

22. Pain clinic for back injections.

23. Going to Fair Havens to check out the venue for retreats, then lunch.

24. Making lemon squares for dessert tomorrow. Then I see my endocrinologist. Home group tonight.

25. Had a young couple whom we are mentoring over for dinner.

26.It’s our 39^th anniversary. We went to The Keg for dinner. Also we have an event at our church today for the community.

27. Church. Salmon burgers for dinner.

28. Home day. Began packing for up north next week.

29. Made Caesar salad enough for 20 people, then we went to see a baptism in a pool since he is moving away this week to go out west.

30. Premade bacon for up north. Chiro, then nap, and pedicure. Still packing.

31. Banking for funding for renovations. Packed to go. Home group prayer meeting.
