My guest room project is all finished, with great timing - my cousin and her new husband will be staying overnight this weekend. I might have overdone it with a basket of fancy toiletries, a basket of fancy chocolates, gourmet candy and water bottles, new towels. I don't get to play hostess much - maybe if they think it's really nice they'll spread the word and other family will stop by in the future.
I have been frustrated with clutter and cleaning constantly, so I've been diving into minimalism a little deeper. We're at a pretty good balance in living areas and bedrooms, but our basement resembles a landfill. The basement walls are lined with floor-to-ceiling shelves most the way around the perimeter. My goal is to get everything onto the shelves [someday]. I like to work on it on hot humid days.
We've had a lot of hot and humid lately. I haven't done much around the farm/garden. Our little vacation was mostly in air conditioned spaces and I lost my acclimation to the summer temperatures. We've been using a/c at home since. I'm trying to wean off, but it's hard to fight through the dizziness. We had a cold front come through this evening and forecast low tonight is 52. I'm hoping we'll get milder temperatures and I can re-acclimate to summer. I dislike using the a/c! Makes me feel weak.
. Holter monitor results were "consistent with POTS" and I have the last test scheduled in a month. All good news.
Go way! That was an awful end to your vacation! Nice find on the butter though. I got some really cheap recently too, but only bought a little. No freezer space here 
I took that as permission to start painting.
