So sorry, Sheryl. But it does sound like a good run.

I had the spring cleaning bug last weekend and washed and organized virtually every piece of clothing I own, got five bags off to Goodwill, a huge tub of stuff th hat doesn't quite fit down into the storage room, and the dog's room mostly converted back into a functional dressing room/office. I still have to grapple with all the odds and ends lying around, but still progress!

Wow, brenda! Good one.

Dang, Brenda! I would like that bug to bite me! I really need to clean out my closet and dresser. And, y'know, the rest of the house.

Thanks for the validation, Jesse. I'll try not to go overboard.

Wow, brenda! I'm impressed and jealous.

Sorry to hear that, Sheryl. 103 is pretty good, but still, it's always sad to lose someone.

....And it looks like there's a coup in the country where most of my work over the past 8 months has been about working with the government. So that's nice.

Oops.

I am impressed Brenda! I did a fair bit of cleaning and organizing the past few days (wanted it to be nice while my friend is staying at my place and when I get back) but not that much!

Well, I had a ton of work work to do, so obviously I had to come up with some alternative.

That is the time-honored method.

Gonna put in a couple hours on the railing. In a minute. After I cuddle the cuddly cats.

Argh, so the dog groomer blew a fuse in my house when she plugged in her dryer while running her hot water heater.

So I bought fuses at Home Depot and put them in, and... nothing. No power in most of the house (happily the fridge is still working). Now what? Call an electrician on a Saturday?

Oh, man, Consuela. I wish I had advice. Sadly, all I can think of is turning it off and turning it on again.

Got all my burnt out bulbs replaced with LED (except the office and the garage which have other challenges and besides I ran out of fresh bulbs). Still have CFLs here and there, but at least there is light of some sort pretty much everywhere. So that's something.
