. Today's photo....hope you're not getting tired of my food photos! This was olive oil cake with ice cream at a local restaurant.
Today I did mostly nothing except for a few hours outside removing dead leaves that collect at the top of my driveway. I did also replace the filter on the Aprilaire humidifier that's attached to my furnace. A chore I dislike because it's never easy to take the thing apart that holds the filter and fit it back into the unit. I actually use an old set of handwritten instructions from probably 10 years ago that a friend of mine wrote for me after helping me perform this particular task. Anyway, that's done for another 6 months.
I did some work on our website for my volunteer group.
I think tomorow after the furnace firebox gets straightened out, I'll treat myself to lunch either at the Vietnamese place I like so much, or a pizza shop that everyone raves about. Guess I'll decide which when the time comes. I also hope to do another chore I've procrastinated about: rechecking the copper mesh mouseproofing I did last year along bottom row of siding, as I've been getting mice in my one indoor trap. They don't go to waste, though. I use a plastic, reuseable trap and toss the dead mouse outside in a certain area periodically checked by possums and I'm not sure what else. I'm sure the unexpected protein is much appreciated.

As for air filters, I usually wait until after pollen season is over… usually around April, before I check and replace my filters.

Tabs, yeah, I used to just change the filter once a year, but now that I have central air, my tech has told me i should be changing it twice a year cus the furnace is pretty much running either cool or warm air year-round now, except for May and October.
