I can't take a shower tonight because I have more drip dry hanging in the shower. Hopefully it will be dry by morning.

drip dry everywhere

pro (not verified) - 30 Sep 2006 - 9:07pm

Getting ready for bed is complicated by the fact that I have drip dry draped all over the futon (which I need to make into a bed), and there's no place else to put it.

1Focus - 30 Sep 2006 - 8:31pm

I didn't feel like I needed to check in today because I had my day planned already, and it was stuff I really wanted to do.

Proudly Accomplished:
Help neighbor cut down and haul tree off. (more fire wood for me :) )
Clean house in preparation for visitors this evening.
Had "new" friedns over. Another couple with 2 girls the same ages as our girls. That's hard to come by around here.

I want to do:
Early to bed
Back to routines tomorrow

One Big Focus:
Garage Storage Project (Slow going on this :) Then again, I've been under the weather this week)

No one stole my laundry, but they did take it out of the dryer before it was dry - probably before the dryer stopped since I'd set it to run for over two hours, which is certainly long enough to dry the clothes (on low heat).

Sounds like you had a pretty good day, too.

My day was pretty good. I just did a little bit of work now, too.

I didn't notice, until others posted a few messages, that I had multiple unclosed font tags, so the whole thread was red. :P

Coffee with the ex from 30 years ago was unexpectedly pleasant. We plan to get together again.

No meeting for me this evening. I'm still going several times a week, but no longer every day.

Note haven't posted for the last few days as phoned on Wed eve with news that my Mum was very ill and needed an operation. She lives on the other side of the world in a nursing home and she is elderly and frail. She will never get "better". I spent three nights awake waiting to hear news. I was also planning to fly out if necessary. (Thank the Lord and DA that I have the money to do this). This morning I heard that she had survived the operation. So today I am exhausted.

In gratitude Rexroth

Healing

1Focus - 30 Sep 2006 - 8:33pm

I hope everything goes well through the healing process.

sorry to hear

pro (not verified) - 30 Sep 2006 - 4:56pm

Hi Rexroth,

I'm very sorry to hear about your mother's poor health. I'm glad she came through the operation okay, and that you were able to be there for her.

I did my laundry, though I don't have enough time to collect the last load from the dryer before I leave. It will just have to sit there for a while. Hopefully no one will walk off with my clothes or my laundry basket. It's New York City so anything not nailed down is at risk. Someone once stole some stools I had temporarily put in the basement.

I don't see how I'm going to get laundry done before going uptown to meet my friend (the ex from 30 years ago). I want to walk east to the Farmer's Market on Union Square first. Okay - laundry can't happen before I leave, I may as well face it. Maybe I can do it when I get back, though it's doubtful. It definitely has to happen tomorrow. I have no clean clothes!
