Weird Day

I'm sitting here feeling kind of miserable because of allergies.

Brother called and said he was just leaving to come over. I was awake but not really up yet. It was probably 10am. When he got here I was concerned about having the money for all of the bills to be paid. Well, I totaled it up and I didn't if I wanted money for food. I paid four bills and held back on the mortgage and another bill which hasn't come in yet. I might be able to pay just a minimum instead of the balance.

We went to the bank first but it was busy and Brother had to pick up RL early from school because it's Wednesday. I suggested we leave because it would take awhile. It was of to the post office so I could do the bill paying. So we got back to the house and he chatted a bit and left. He had brought the voltage meter I asked for.

I've been taking down the lights that are built into the wall Father built. I used the meter to check the wires and got no result so I cut the wires and did not die. I got more wires, taped, removed some, got the first light down and that was good. I moved to the next light and basically repeated my efforts. At some point I went back and filled in the holes dug yesterday to find the wires.

The last light had a hornet's nest in it. And it was occupied! I used a water spray bottle to chase them away. I got the light removed without incident. After that I started trimming back the lemon tree. I got both trash bins filled and there was still tons more! That's about where I gave up for the day. I left my bedroom door closed so no kitty came in last night. I slept OK.
