I’ve been whistling this song for weeks and could not remember any of the lyrics so it was ungoogleable but I finally remembered to sing it in my phone.
it’s this: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=RsY8l0Jg3lY&si=OFCDO0iSBczHgugt
I’m sorry/you’re welcome if this passes on the earworm
I very much remember this song from my childhood!
I remember this song from listening to the radio as a kid, but now I only associate it with a certain Breaking Bad episode.
for some reason, I was remembering the woodwind instrument as a whistle and could not find it in any searches. It’s so catchy.
Tomorrow we get our new furnace and A/C!
Today I vacuumed the stairs and landings. Filthy, absolutely filthy. Cleaner now, at least no chunks or webs.
Replacement started at 8am (2 hours ago). Many strange and unexpected noises.
Today’s tiny victory is that I can just write a check for this without worry.
well fudge - lines only passed 1/2 tests, so they will redo one test over night to check for any leaks. No A/C tonight. But cool front coming in so we will live. Growing up without A/C prepared me for this!
With a sinking feeling, I received a notification that my grocery order had out of stock items. I was delighted when it turns out that was just a red onion, and they were offering to substitute an organic red onion instead. Easy Peezy, dinner menu preserved.
Truly amazing
They didn’t offer to substitute with a red delicious apple instead??
grocery shoppers in the Northwest sound AMAZING
Seems fake! Why not onion soup?
my bsky filters are proving fairly robust today
A friend sent an overly generous gift AND it came in a box packed with packing peanuts!! So many peanuts!
Is this a victory for Percy?
Amazon sent an “ordered delivered” notice with a picture of someone else’s house. Husband decided to walk the block just in case- lo and behold it was only one house over!
Finally dropped off the old shoes, which have been in my car far too long, to the shoe recycling place.
I went running for the first time in … Nine months? Maybe longer? It wasn’t pretty. Or fast. Or even running most of the time, but there were stretches that were not walking and I liked how I felt.
In front of my house is a big native hydrangea ( Hydrangea arborescens) and on the other end a giant, giant colony of native elderberry (Sambucus nigra). Both are blooming now, but that’s not the victory. The victory is the native bees. So many, so loud. It’s like hearing a chainsaw when you walk outside.
I’m so jealous!! I’m working on making my yards a bird-, bee-, and bug-friendly habitat, but it’s slow-going removing all the rocks layered with landscape fabric and planting planting native plants 
. Not to mention all the old plant info ID cards I’ve dug up that brag “grown with neonicotinoids!” …
Yesterday: gave away a Costco size bottle of conditioner to Mom, who is visiting (by car, not plane…which makes this hand off possible!)
Today: unpacked 4 partially filled boxes. Things are not “perfectly” put away, but office supplies got organized & everything else is at least find-able and put away*.
TC: why didn’t I do the unpacking before Mom visited?
*ETA: Um…actually I have a pile of books on the floor where one of the boxes was. That is…apparently…put away, in my mind…
Pollinators have always liked a lot of my perennials but last year I planted some stuff that I had read they specifically like. I’m excited to have it for them.
