We’re a little late in the day, but only because we were
pretty busy working. I think we got to
the computer around 7:30 am, but probably spent about 1 ½ hours with
Linda. I think we’re just catching up
with before, but the biggest thing to the day is that the clothes rack came in
and Rich helped me assemble it. It was
as suggested under 15 minutes W/O tools.
Good deal. It did take some man
hands as to tightening poles, but if push came to shove I could have used a
hammer. Much nicer with Rich
around. J He is here
for the day and its been pretty good.
Hmm, having a little conversation with Rich – he says that
we can roll the rack right into the bedroom closet now. I think inside he likes it … anything to get
me more on top of clothes would be good.
What we decided so far – and somewhat decided with Rich is that we’re
going to keep it in the laundry room, but while its rested the two baskets will
be on top of it. That’s a pretty good
deal and close to where the work is taking place. Rich thought that it was too much work
bringing it back to the sewing room – so that worked out great. On the lower rack, we have clothes that need
to be ironed, and the top rack has clothes already good enough and not in need
or ironing. We hung up the clothes from
the kitchen and then wheeled it to my desk area. It does a nice parallel with the couch which
leaves more room for me to get up and down from the desk – and more room to go
passed it from the dining room to the living room … it was kind of neat, but
figured I didn’t need to see ALL the clothes – so flat up, I just need to see
the ends where we put wrinkled to steamed to upper rack. Good deal.
I’ve been doing pretty well with everything so far today …
It is nice to have a day to focus, but we’ll really be glad when the laundry is
completely caught up – we’ve got everything washed, but lots of steaming. That is what we’ll do for the rest of the day
– almost noon now, and then we’ll save sweeping for tomorrow, unless we can get
the back vacuumed – just the girls room, guest room and sewing room. Then we could get the kitchen floors tomorrow
and the Master bedroom and sunroom. I
think the LR and study carpets are fine.
Nicely the girls aren’t coming until about 6 pm – though Maury will be
here about 4:30 pm.
There put away folded clothes/towels. Rich is stopping for lunch and announced 300
calories for his sandwiches. He’s going
to watch some fishy shows. I’m good with
it though we were going to turn on Property Brothers. Might do that anyway.

We’re back and we’re considering it the end of our business
day. Well maybe, we could steam the
second 1/3 of the clothes tonight, or we could steam – both the second and
third load of clothes on Sunday, but by then there would be more clothes
booo… Just have to get caught up. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day with the
floors. The ebroom is coming in
hopefully early, but we should get the back rooms finished AND possibly the
Master bedroom and sunroom. I know its
going to be REALLY important to clean up the laundry room to fit the new
rack. We might want to move Missy on the
other side – not sure – think this could block her bathroom door and we don’t
want to see that either. It will just
depend. I’m NOT going to put it away
today. Tomorrow will be soon enough.
We did get to a couple unexpected projects for the day. We watched Rich at home today and trying to
squish in papers to my cubby holes for sorting and filing. Pshwoo – that was crowded. But we got through all the papers for
basically the last 2 ½ months for business and personal. That isn’t a hard job, but it is time
consuming. You know?
I don’t really like vacuuming in the dark and by 4:40 pm, it
is starting to get dark, especially in the house Everything is set-up for Rich to be making
dinner in hopefully 20 minutes. I forgot
what he was going to make tonight. He’s
been busy with the phone and the geek squad and they fixed his business contact
manager which was really important so now the last couple of hours he’s been
trying to figure out how to use it. I
might take a look at it tonight. I’m
pretty familiar with how Outlook is supposed to work, so we’ll see how the
additions add up. I’m thinking I will be
able to have a fairly decent conversation about it later. I did look at it before and liked all the
communication and charts with it. Hope
we can drag Rich away in a timely manner.
I usually can wait til 5 pm before I start looking for him Hehehe… I was
a little frustrated with him, because we sent him a note with our to-do tasks
done and undone for the day and he refused to look at it and instead guessed at
what might be on it. It took him some
effort but we then got about 8 seconds from him. His only comment was that we break things
down. And, I have to say that’s the
truth. Every time we have to stand up or
move, it is a separate action so if things take more than a short time – they
are spelled out. It just makes sense to
us – AND it includes then that different parts can pick out of the list the
things they are ready and willing to do.
That part we like a lot.
