Monday: Found furniture polish and dusted, cleaned, polished dresser, nightstand, and bookcases in bedroom. Went to storage area and brought back rest of long boxes and some of the cardboard storage units that I use for TShirts and socks and the bakers rack. Now have a place for purse and keys by the door and not on the washer/dryer. Using an over the door hook to hang up jacket, since no coat closet.
Couldn't fall asleep. Listened to Tranquility CD twice and still awake. Got up sent email with ideal home to Michele. Puttered around a little. Read some. Eventually back to bed and even longer eventually slept some. There were critters underneath bathroom making all kinds of noise - chewing/clawing/claws on floor. Didn't help trying to get to sleep. Sent message to landlord. He had mentioned a problem with mice and leaving out bait that kills them by dehydration.
Tuesday: moved long boxes from garage to spare bedroom, opened a couple and found decorative bed pillows, bedroom lamps, and some hangers. I took cardboard and plastic to storage unit, opened a box there...found four of Mary Morgan books, stuffed animals, blue butterfly, wind chimes. Received Twilight Breaking Dawn calendar from Staci Moore. Currently in living room, 1 February the calendars will trade places. Broke a light bulb, so had to go to Walmart for cleaning stuff. After dinner started in on organizing kitchen. I've been delaying making all those little decision as to what goes where. Finally yelled loud enough in head "it doesn't have to stay there forever" to make some headway.
Landlord did come over and put out more bait in the crawl space. Less noise from critters. Hopefully one more night and no noise.
Wednesday: got up about 0230hrs to see the eclipse, missed seeing the moon rise. Looked out and partly cloudy, so figured stay up and see if stays clear enough to see. Found the Griffith Observatory site with live stream. With the window like they are, I could stay inside and see moon. Did step outside every so often to look up. Found my good binoculars and helped. About a quarter of way into eclipse the clouds became pretty thick and constant, could only see a shiny spot where moon was. Managed to stay up until a little into totality and decided to go back to bed.
Up late, got ready for appointment with realtor. Saw three places. One was zoned commercial, home built 1917. Decent shape. One in Parkwood, the gardens are intimidating, I would have to hire a gardener. The third was in Henericks, nice but curved driveway to garage and not attached, the way I back up, there would be problems.
Instead of nap on Tuesday before getting up for eclipse, took a nap today. Then worked on kitchen. Slowly getting stuff washed and put away in hopefully reasonable place.
