Well, I finally did finish watching " Marcella " Season 3 ... a most peculiar series on Netflix.
It's a very dark British detective series that I both loved and hated...often at the same time. This often happens when the central character is a female.

Right now I'm listening to the construction work going on across the street...going gangbusters...and not a female worker amongst them...Good paying jobs, I'd say, particularly when almost all service industry jobs, where women tend to employed are shrunken down to almost nothing.
We need more women trained in the trades...more women in ALL of those trades. Those young guys I see out there likely aren't supporting families beyond minimum but I'd bet that many female tradeswomen carry a large load of responsibility. We need to stop the myth that jobs for men are a priority cause they are the only breadwinners that count.

I'm killing a little bit of time by hanging out here today, before I get one more errand crossed off my list of chores for today. It is incredibly warm outside. The humidity is rising and the heat index won't lift until later this week. It's almost like the weather we get during August (thunderstorms, as we head into another seasonal weather change).
After I get my late afternoon appt crossed off my list, I plan to kick back and relax and binge watch a few of the latest British Crime Dramas that I've been watching lately. By then, it will be time to snuggle up with my pillows. zzZzzZZzzZZZzzzz

Sitting in the emergency department with my older brother. He was experiencing chest pains. His BP is 172/105. They are going to admit him and do a cardiac cath in the morning.
I hate being here for the obvious reasons but he needs the support. |

Got up at sunrise to do water sets and now that this chore is done before i go to work, I am lounging on the patio deck, and having a cup of coffee. It is definitely going to be cooler weather today, thank heavens.

Waiting for my bi-weekly phone call appt with my therapist.
After that, it is water sets, while holding a comfy position on the sofa to watch fav stuff i like to watch on t.v. Then turn the water sets off, take a quick shower, then settle in with my pillows for sleep time.

Back in the day, we had a ditch rider that set up water sets for our property, twice a month. I forget what you call it, but "water sets" is what I call watering the property (making sure the lawn, flower beds, raised garden beds and newly planted trees -- get water). It's timed sets of watering. 30 minute sets. It takes a couple hours to make sure every area gets the water it needs to survive the heat wave.

Relaxing, was up till 5:30 this morning moving things around to make room for a desk my sons were bringing over. I had to completely undo all of the computer/other electronic stuff I'd just gotten set up, and move a bunch of furniture around to do be able to do that. Finally after hours and hours couldn't go on a minute longer, had to catch a little sleep before finishing up this evening. Frustrating because the whole time I knew this was something either of my sons could do in less than an hour, maybe even half. I kept at it though and got it done without any help from either. Now I'm just kicking back enjoying a well earned rest and working on dinner which is only going to be breakfast food - quick and easy. I don't have an ounce of energy in me left for anything else.

ATM: I AM DEATH CLEANING ... "DOSTADNING"
There’s a Swedish word for declutter: dostadning, a hybrid of the words for death and cleaning. And as morbid as it sounds, that’s exactly what death cleaning is: the process of cleaning house before you die, rather then leaving it up to your loved ones to do after you’re gone. A new book called The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning makes the case that the task isn’t morbid at all. Author Margareta Magnusson—a Swedish artist who describes herself as somewhere between age 80 and 100—says it’s “more like a relief,” and that it has benefits you can enjoy while you’re still very much alive. “Generally people have too many things in their homes, it’s a good thing to get rid of things you don’t need.” Magnusson says she’s always death cleaned, “because I want to have it nice around me, keep some order.” Magnusson says people should start thinking about death cleaning as soon as they’re old enough to start thinking about their own mortality. “Don’t collect things you don’t want,” she says. “One day when you’re not around anymore, your family would have to take care of all that stuff, and I don’t think that’s fair.” Keep a “throw-away box,” things that are “just for me.” When she dies, her children know they can simply throw that box away, without even looking through its contents. “There can also be something very empowering and healthy about taking care of your own space and making it more organized while you’re still around.” Death cleaning may have benefits for the cleaners themselves, and not just for their loved ones. Clutter in the home can raise stress levels and reduce productivity. As adults get older, a house full of stuff may also raise risk for falls and create other health and safety hazards. Many people may engage in a type of death cleaning without calling it that—when they downsize from a large house to a small apartment as they get older, for instance. “It’s a new way of thinking about the grunt work that comes along with those transitions, which can be really stressful.” Death cleaning is an ongoing process that’s never truly finished. “You don’t know when you are going to die, so it goes on and on,” Death cleaning ends with death. Seems reasonable to me.
