... wearing my fuschia/aqua/orange plaid cowel necked nightgownYes, I'm THAT neighbor My explanation/excuse trash truck comes 8:00 am ish & I'm not changing twice in a morning, just once, for work. Sounds lovely. My trash truck today also comes sometime between 8 and 9. I like it early or it would be hanging over my head till they pick up. I still have to take out one last small 'wet' bag this morning, then wheel them to the street. I usually can hear them collecting on the other side of the street, then they turn around and a few minutes later collect on this side. It works very well. done this morning: -collected a bit of last minute trash from the fridge -re-fluffed the throws on the couch -water filter and hot cocoa tasks complete. Todo: -wheel bins to street -turn off overnight lights, open a window -work on the linen closets So... let's get going... the trucks are a'coming soon...

an hour or so later: -found more to discard from the fridge, and really topped of the bin - its lid does not close. -wheeled green and trash bin to the street, and the truck picked it all up. -looked and found 3 cardboard strawberry boxes to use as pull-out drawers in the ground-level linen cabinets. todo: -organize the lowest level of linen cabinet 1 - these are just too low for easy use. -work on cabinet 2 -wash dishes

takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/post/871426/threadHere's the nightgown. I made it in January. See by the clothespins how far off the plaid is? it spirals around me. ........................................................................................................... Betsy Marie said: (Sorry, I seem to have included myself in the quote box and can't escape. ) I see what you mean about the nightgown. I'm not sure how you did that, but it's very cute.

BetsyMarie, WTG for getting dishes done! That's a cool idea to display jewelry that is not being used! ta-da: Food prep is pretty much done. I have to make room in the fridge for a couple of things Dishwasher is running Houseplants have been watered to-do Find a spot to put food to keep it cold overnight... The fridge is stuffed, but maybe if I reorganize I can make more space? Put chickens in for the night Give cat her meds Put away dishes Maybe start a load of laundry? Maybe work on replacing the ceiling fan, which has not been touched in 2 months? (The old one has been partially removed, I need to finish removing a couple of old parts. I'd be glad to do that tonight, but it involves heights, and I'm scared of heights.

Good evening! Finally just a pinch away from healthy. Recent accomplishments: Went grocery shopping Tuesday. Wednesday I bought a space heater, plugged it in, and had a major quality-of-life improvement. Today I was with people having a little feast, feeling good and enjoying myself.

Put away dishes. Fixed the non-existent volume control (always at 0) on landlord's TV remote by replacing the batteries! I love being tech support on simple things. Felt a lovely surge of competence. Started a very large load of wash which I may regret in the morning, but there was quite the buildup from being sick. Thing 1 Thing 2 Thing 3
