A bit.

Raking is finished.  It was more work than I remembered.  With the grass longer, getting the rake through with the twigs was a trick, requiring a bit of effort and thought.  Thankfully it was a smaller area.  Relocating the pile of twigs from raking the front yard went with it.

Hoses were also set aside, so mowing will be a straight shot.  The hope is to mow yet today so as to be able to water tonight.  I won't water until after mowing.  I will be mowing only on the highest setting, and only in some areas.  Anywhere seeded, but still sparse, will be allowed another three days to week, maybe more.

I checked the temp outside, 80° at 13:00, as I started this post.  It is 73° main, 71° front... a very unusual set of readings.  Full sun today, so...  The front area should be higher, by three to ten degrees.  I'll take it, gladly.  It just doesn't make sense.  I am curious about upstairs.  Only one ac is running.  I'll know shortly, nap time.

I will set alarms.  I really want to be up to mow and water.  I will make a few calls first, medicine and a bill.  Those will ease my mind.  I don't want to deal with the bill, but no choice.  I am almost through the worst parts of my stresses.  Those calls will free me up.  The cooler days are helping as well.  Almost finished.  Oh, now to put things on automatic pay.  Ugh.

Good afternoon and day.
