After the dental cleaning yesterday, I did the whitening strips today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided I’d like to get some fresh cool air in my room from time to time. Mosquitoes made opening my window impossible. So I got some black replacement screen mesh and covered my window. Before I did that I needed to cut the bushes away from the house. They looked like great candidates for rooting. Cut them all down to size and got them in water to root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then cleaned up and put away the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Covering my window with screen mesh was a challenge. Once I got the bush cleared out, I scrubbed all the surfaces with my leather gloves and made a careful measurement of the material and the window opening. Got a window planter off with window ledge and loaded the staple gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J’s new containers came in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I moved a feeder from the back yard to the kitchen window. I’m trying to provide enough feeders that they can feed without too much fighting. He can’t fight what he can’t see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mixed up feeder solution and cleaned the feeders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worked on getting K’s phone squared away with an e-sim. I went to Burger King for wifi and great cell signal. Spent over two hours this afternoon and another four hours this evening trying to make calls or expecting a call from Mint Mobile Tech. Ay caramba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I changed the email on K’s phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote Thank You cards while I waited on phone calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
