• I’m baaaaaaaaaaaack….

  I have not been doing much cyber-socializing lately, so I decided I would try to catch up on that. When I went to log onto xanga, it was no go, no matter what I tried and I sure did not have time to troubleshoot AND get caught up, too. After several days, I figured out it was the firefox browser on my computer causing the problem. I think this is rather odd, because firefox does not present a problem with other computers in this household, but if I want to log on to xanga, I gotta use explorer now. Oh well…

  Our floor project is still in limbo, but hopefully the details will get worked out soon. Other stuff is finally getting done around here in the meantime. For a very long time now, I have wanted to go through cupboards and closets and find new homes for the things that have been occupying space around here but not really doing us much good any more. Since we had to drag everything out of the closets to repair the water damage from the leaky a/c hose in the closet and also to do the floors in several rooms and hallways, this just seemed like the perfect time to tackle this job, but I was not even sure where to start and the task seemed a bit daunting to me. Our daughter and her sweet hubby helped launch this massive project a few weeks ago when they came over and helped to empty out the closet in her old room and sort out what needed to go where while son-in-law gave the closet and the walls above the chair rail a fresh coat of paint.

  We discovered even more water damage from a leak in the roof as I was getting ready to hang more shelves in our son’s old room, which I have pretty much claimed as my office now that our son now has his own place, too. Ever helpful son-in-law returned to help me repair the walls in that closet, too. I was getting a bit impatient for those shelves so I could work on getting my business supplies and inventory better organized and rearrange the room so that my computer, which is currently living at the other end of the house from all my business things, could be moved into that room, too. The kidney stone saga had already slowed progress on this project, then my car needed to go to the shop, we had some cable/phone/internet issues that needed to be resolved that required TWO visits from service guys, my broken tooth was demanding immediate attention and our truck needed to go back to the dealer for some recall work, all in the same week! The shelves are FINALLY up and I can return to the business of sorting, downsizing and streamlining in preparation for our floor project–except now daughter has asked me to help her make Halloween costumes for her and her sweet, helpful hubby…
