Good morning Diane and decade and Pamela and everyone else who comes by
I have not posted for several days. We had extreme weather. Major. I had some minor property damage. Have called insurance company.
It has been pretty busy in my life! !!
Had relatives bunk w us for one night as they had no power and it is freezing here
Dd happy w two days if school closing. My office even closed for one day !
I was very pleased I could have unplanned overnight guests it was ok in my house not perfect but acceptable. I did not have to go nuts to get ready
Over the last few days I have been keeping up w dishes. Litter. Laundry. Daily pick up
Vac'd living room and dining room and stairs and hallway and entryway. Dusted living room
Paid five bills. Went to grocery store and several errands. Carpooled dd and her bf to a school event. We went out yesterday and met some friends for some fun.
To get house ready for guests I did clean bathroom - scrubbed tub and commode and mopped floor and cleaned mirror. Even washed shower curtain
I also used some extra free time to work on my bedroom. Vac'd. Dusted. Did some purging. Straightened things up. It looks a lot better but I still have a lot that I'd like to do in the more hidden areas like the closet though that is looking way better too
I have kept up on my Lenten challenge. It is a true challenge for me. I am doing it as a way to practice my Christianity and donating my clothes only. I have 30 items to go. Each day gets a little more challenging to select an item. But I feel very committed to it and I am very happy to be doing it. I want to get things I don't use out to people who could!
Due to all the weather related stuff I have not been working on my taxes and consignment sale. Today I hope to spend some time on those two projects. And get us to church.
I have two loads of laundry underway. One more to start.

Today is the day to pull all the rest of the things out of the kitchen cabinets that I hurriedly put back when I had company next week and find a temporary home for them until I get the new cabinets installed. I'm running out of room in the sewing room and bedroom. I need coffee and a cold face wash to wake up and get this project going.

Dtesposito, How about container gardening? I have done that before very successfully and plan to expand this year. Message me if you'd like some hints. All the best, Grammea(Helen)

With the help of my trusty stool, I pulled the never used saucers from the nether regions of the kitchen cabinets. They were filthy, so they are taking a little soak in hot soapy dishwater. One more cup of coffee and I'll go wash everything.

imamess I am just curious. If these are never used saucers have you considered donating or tossing them and not putting them back in your new kitchen ?

Good morning everypony! so nice to see everyone here!
I am leaving for my cruise Tues evening--to stay at a hotel for an early flight, then stay at another hotel before embarkation day. So theoretically I have today, Monday and Tuesday--except that today I have pdoc, Monday I have to see the dermatologist and also go into The City for a major exhibit that DM got tickets for months ago (WHY did I agree to this?) and Tues I have a hair appt (adjustment to recent haircut).
The good news is I am working through this cold quickly--I'm definitely feeling a bit more energetic today.
The challenge is now it is time to "Converge" in my thinking--stop researching, getting new ideas, and start narrowing down and making decision. I struggle with this. My head is full of information. I'm trying to "optimize." So many variables!!! Not the least of which is living out of my carry on only from Wed to Thurs pm.
I might need to go take my craziness over to my blog.

I cleaned up the evidence of my overnight storm guests. Air mattress deflated and put away. Sheets in wash. Blankets folded and back in linen closet.
Breakfast dishes put away. Just washed lunch dishes which are now air drying. Wiped down stove and kitchen sink. Folded and put away a load of laundry.
Also just cleaned up some of DD's old arts and crafts supplies.
Now my taxes. Ugh.
