I do still wish there were things you could do that would help, that are things, and not money-- like when everyone was knitting socks for soldiers. But the thing is, when they were doing it in Little Women, there weren't really machine made socks, so it made more sense.
If you have the impulse to make, I guess the best thing to do is auction your handmade socks and give them the money!
I posted and ran about flylady, but I too have considered this week if I could make a "grumpy agnostic single" Flylady, but realized that if I had the energy to do that, I wouldn't need Flylady. I am not sure I can give it up without something else, though. I tend to need to be held accountable, and I like that it is so structured.
I think msbelle should be Flylady!
I'm going to post that link on my fb page.

I'm sure there's a market for it. Someone should definitely do it!
If I had backing, I would do it, but I need a paycheck and insurance. SPeaking of, the testing we want for mac is potentially going to cost me $3K. Most of the people we have found so far do not take insurance, or not mine. I have more numbers to call starting tomorrow, but sheesh.
My cat is going crazy yoweling by the doors of the two places she cannot go (the attic and the back porch). WTF, Miss bobo?
chicken with mushrooms and shallots in a champagne and cream sauce? YUM! FYI.
I have missed all my tv this week. tonight I am getting back up after mac is asleep and watching something dammit.
Okay, dog & I have both been fed. Castle has been watched. And now I must venture out into the cold night for rehearsal. Today has been filled with me suggesting we blow off various obligations and the SO responsibly shutting me down. But he is already on his way to rehearsal from town, and I am at home by myself with the dog and the fire and no one to tell me to go do stuff I'm supposed to do.
Okay fine! I'm going. Dangit. It's cold out there! And dark! Hmph.
I bought a small baugette and patê. Tonight's dinner was the bread, patê, and a nice red wine. I may peel an orange later. So simple and sastisfying. It's times like this I'm kind of glad I don't have to please anyone else with my cooking, or lack thereof.
I bought fancy salt at TJs today -- Himalayan salt crystals that came in a grinder jar. And they're PINK!!!
Also salty.
