ohblondie I hope I'm not contagious! Please, nobody get what I've got - it's awful! I did manage to drag the vacuum around - funny how a clean sink & counter can make a hairy floor look so bad...that's done. I also found another bag of garbage out on the porch, and as luck would have it, the truck hasn't been by yet, so out it went. I'm going to wait until 7pm to do my laundry, and save on the hydro bill this time.

Good day all. Between a nasty cold/strep throat/flu and my new job I've fallen a bit behind in the house. Also my carpel tunnel is getting worse due in small part to my obsessive spinning (about all I've manag this week) and sleeping on the couch as required by said new job. (I'm working sleeping shift at a 24 hr support home for the severely disabled)
So now I've had my nap (said couch does not garner a passable nights sleep) and it's time to get some stuff done
First up is my woefully behind laundry (don't tell but we are out of towels.)

Chnged ds1 sheets, took a break to catch my breath Fed and watered the chickens, took a break to catch my breath. Sigh this being sick is for the birds I don't want it.
I allowed myself 25 minutes at my spinning wheel, now the kids are home.

BWBB, I know I should be encouraging you to work but if you have to catch your breath you should probably be resting! Although, now that your kids are home that's probably not possible...
I ended up taking a break to stand by the radiator and read--it's been cold enough the last couple of days that the apartment is getting chilly. One of the other condo owners sent me an email last night asking me to check the furnace because his apartment was so cold--I went down to check the only thing I know to look for, that both of the two sides of the furnace were lit up while it was on--one time in the past only one side was lighting up so it was working at half the usual efficiency. But it looked okay, so I sent a message back saying as far as I could tell it was working properly.

HAPPY THURSDAY!!
I was not able to log on last night. Last night I made dinner, cleaned up from dinner and washed all of the pots and pans. I also ran the dishwasher. I took some bags of clothes (my clothes) out of the LR and brought them upstairs AND PUT THEM AWAY!! What a novel thought/idea!! I finished a book so that I could include it in the box being mailed today to DD in NC. (Nicholas Sparks - The Choice) Not much substance - quick read. I can see where the movie could be a tear jerker. I took several boxes out of the LR and brought them upstairs - they are headed to the attic.
Today I have already dealt with several critical/time sensitive emails. Now to work on a project plan for a small project I have to deal with.
Won't you please join me in making today count?

HAPPY THURSDAY is right! I spent an hour+ soaking in a boiling tub of eucalyptus oil last night, and I'm not sick today, wheeee! To celebrate, I started the book cull: I have an empty bottom shelf (that I even cleaned off) a plastic bag of wrecked paperbacks for recycling (either water damaged or puppy chewn) and win/win a recyclable bag filled with 20 books for donations - I ran out of plastic bags, after emptying the kitchen crap drawers last week - and I've got a million of those other bags - yay, now I can get rid of both! I started on shelf #2, but got caught up with the idea that I'll be reading them all, so off to something more productive. I *absolutely* have to take a minute today to kick myself in the butt. A few weeks ago I meant to empty the egg carton collection I had (I save the shells for the garden) but put it off. That'd be fine, except my puppy decided to knock them down yesterday - and smashed the shells all over the porch. Now every time the dogs go out, they track shell bits in. I know, I just vacuumed yesterday!!! Now I have to do it again, and vacuum the egg shells out on the porch - on the *freaking coldest day of the year*. It's below zero fahrenheit!

Good morning everyone. So glad you are feeling better today, cyn. What a great idea about that eucalyptus bath! I woke earlier than I wanted to and couldn't fall back asleep. So I made the time count and went to the gym. Now I'm showered, dressed, and need to make the bed, make breakfast and clean up the kitchen, make a few appointments, and head out for some errands. This afternoon I will work on a freelance project.
