Before it gets hot

I am headed out to do an errand or two in the van. It does not get really cool in it so I need to go first thing.
Today I have had breakfast, written a text broker article and edited it, checked my e mail, gotten dressed and also prepared a billing statement for the person who is just barely, occasionally, paying me for the car he bought last year. Bob is sending it registered mail.
My phone keeps ringing, so I guess I will go. Looking for the new baskets for my shelf to take the number up to twelve. The bottom shelf has none at all. I will check at two different Dollar General Stores.The second from the bottom has only two. You can see my burgeoning closet beside it. I need to make curtains to hang because there are no doors for the closet.
It will be hot today, with possibility of storms, then hotter tomorrow. It is summer.

After I unloaded the van I stayed inside mostly. Now it is raining, though.

I like your bins or drawers. They are easy to open up.

Yes, they really are just fabric boxes, sitting on shelves. It makes it easier to sort things, too.

They are very nice looking and I bet it is easier to sort things because you can open them up and see all you have in there.

Wish we would get some storms. I enjoy them so. Hope you find what you are looking for. It will be hot here too. It cooled down from the 94 it got up to yesterday rather quickly. Hope it does that today.

I did find four new containers for my dresser. I thought they had discontinued them.

Places like Ollie's or Roses might also have the baskets you are looking for. I'm not sure if they have those in your area or not. It may storm here today, I haven't checked the weather but I can tell it wants to rain.

I found them. I only had to go to one Dollar General. I had been afraid they were discontinued.

@GardenGerty I'm glad that they weren't. I have baskets just like the ones pictured, albeit smaller and different colors. I got them from walmart in a three pack. They come in handy. I could use a basket system like yours for one of my bookshelves to better organize it. Right now it has things like recipe books, regular books and some important papers.

It sounds like you have a busy day planned and are knocking a bunch of things off your to-do list. I haven't gotten any writing assignments in a couple months but I am keeping busy doing surveys.

Where do you get writing assignments. I much prefer writing to surveys. This one young lady online says she makes 40-50 dollars a day on a particular survey and offer site, so I joined under her. It has a minimum $1 payout, but I have not tried or requested one yet.

@GardenGerty I write for Article Document and Writer Access. It is feast or famine but I am pretty much a travel writer so I don't get as many assignments as my friend who is a business and careers writer. I earn a few dollars a day on survey sites. So far in June, I have made $100 on one site and $8 in two days on another, not great money for sure but $100 a month is plenty for me. If you want names of sites message me.

It is summer and it is to be expected, I know. I just like it to be a short burst and then cooler again soon.

@GardenGerty So true, we are going to have a few hot days followed by thunderstorms, as usual.

It is going up to around 100 and the heat indexes (indices ?) are to be around 108. The weather people say keep your pets inside. Mine does not want to be inside.

It's smart to get your errands done before it gets too hot. Good luck finding more baskets for your shelf

Dollar General did have them. I thought they might have been discontinued.

It's been hot here too. I have been letting Lily out early. Today I fed the kittens next door. I really cleaned out the bird feeder and fed them. I cleaned out the hummingbird feeder and fed them. I went to get the mail. I hope to read and color later.

Yes, I have a system for the boxes. I have long sleeved shirts for winter, shorts in others. Our slow payer may end up with a bad reputation if he does not get going. We will take it as far as we need to.
