Tired on Friday

I woke up with a headache, this morning, probably from all the spraying and stressing, yesterday.  Although the headache wore off, later, I took it easy, today.  Partly because the duct taping and spraying seemed to have helped.  I only found one flea on the bathroom floor and it seemed to be dying, anyway (the spray leaves an oily residue that remains effective for several days).  When I flea combed Dancer, I found only one flea on him and it seemed to be dead, too.  I felt I could afford to relax my guard for one day and didn't vacuum.

I did a load of laundry and hung it inside the house to dry, instead of using the dryer, because I felt confident enough that no fleas would jump on the items.  However, later in the evening, when I washed my bed sheets, I dried them in the dryer. 

It was another rather warm day, but the fans were sufficient.  I spent the afternoon reading one of my library books, "The End of Ice" by Dahr Jamail:

Library Book

In the early evening, I turned on the sprinklers in the back yard.  When M came to do the garden, I asked him to spray both the back and front yards for me.  He had a different type of spray he had used to spray ants in another client's kitchen, which stated it was effective against fleas, as well, and he offered to spray it around my bathroom, laundry closet, and outside, around the walls of the house at the back.  It was an offer I accepted, gratefully.  After he sprayed that chemical, he sprayed the stuff I had bought for the yard, as well. 

Much later in the evening, I mopped the kitchen floor. 

My joyful activity for the day was to make a bookmark with some scrapbooking paper to give to my friend as a thank you for lending me her book on the women in the Bible; I will be returning the book to her, tomorrow, at this month's rosary gathering.

Today, I am grateful for:
- Finding fewer fleas
- M helping me with the spraying
- Library books
- Washing machines and ceiling fans
- Video chatting with my daughter
