Day 59 (Month 2 – 28)
Newell needed me to go with him this morning — as sometimes happens if he slept badly. It means I got a great lunch and a nice dinner, but nothing done. I did come to a conclusion though. Some areas … Continue reading

Day 58 (Month 2 – 27)
Okay. We are going to get back to work today. No more horsing around because the house looks better. It still isn’t done, and I’ve been slacking. That isn’t going to get it finished, is it? Going to follow the … Continue reading

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life…
I love the philosophy of that silly song. If things aren’t going your way, look for a way to capitalize on your strengths. I still haven’t figured out what I can do that might bring me in some extra cash … Continue reading

Day 56 (Month 2 – 25)
Just a head’s up — I am finding the Day XXX titles annoying and hard to keep accurate, so I may wind up rethinking that title convention as we head into month 3… I promised something fun today, so we … Continue reading

Day 55 (Month 2 – 24)
Dishes done. Day started… Today is going to be another day where the results won’t be extremely obvious, but they will be important. I need to clean up this computer and see if it helps the performance any. There is no … Continue reading

Day 54 (Month 2 – 23)
I needed a focus day, with fewer distractions, to finish sorting out the Kindle. It was definitely work! And it took almost all day to do it. But I now have no books that aren’t in at least one collection. … Continue reading

Day 53 (Month 2 – 22)
Just read a great post called “Beware the Bags” over on Liz’s blog. It made me think about all the bags around my house. I am trying to get rid of as many plastic bags as possible, but the canvas ones…I … Continue reading

Day 52 (Month 2-21)
No real excuse for such a late start to the day. That’s just the way it is today. Got more of my Kindle books filed at lunch, but so far, that’s it. About to go tackle the dishes though, which … Continue reading

Day 51 (Month 2-20)
Home at last. Have paid some bills since I got here — that’s part of cleaning and sorting too, after all. There are fewer dishes than I feared in the sink, so I will try to get them done tonight. … Continue reading

Last day of the month…again. Well, this month we didn’t do as well as we did in January, but progress is still being made. Just more slowly. Hoping to amend that somewhat today. As I said yesterday, I am going … Continue reading →
