Back to Work

Posted by Pyrrh on 3rd January 2010

Well, it has been a nice two weeks off, but it is back to work in the morning.  Hopefully I can still get some WoW time in without sacrificing too much sleep.  Dot will welcome the schedule again, I am sure.  It is hard to plan a menu when you don’t feel that great about [...]

Pyrrh the Plumber

Posted by Pyrrh on 12th December 2009

Today I fixed the water main to the toilet (it needed a flexible hose to allow for the Cat Genie attachment to fit nicely) and puttied the holes in the toilet area.  It seemed like there was a LOT of pressure in the walls; even the tiniest holes would squeeze my putty back out!  There [...]

Afternoon Remodeling

Posted by Pyrrh on 11th December 2009

Today I spent a lot of time getting Dot’s blog updated and I did a lot of work on her media.
I spent about 45 minutes at the beginning of naptime and got the toilet area of the bathroom sanded and cleaned, ready for some putty and plumbing tomorrow.  I’m going to try and devote the [...]

Daily Room Rescue

Posted by Pyrrh on 7th December 2009

I spent a lot of work yesterday reviewing my control journal and housecleaning schedule.  I’ve developed a new list that I can print out so if family members want or need to help they can easily see what needs to be done.  There is one page for daily and weekly chores, and another page for [...]

Nap Shot Down

Posted by Pyrrh on 6th December 2009

Guns going off in the back yard at naptime AGAIN.  This time it is a rapid fire thing.  Very loud, sounds like the are shooting AT our back yard.  This week I’m making sure I have the police non-emergency number programmed into my phone and I am calling them as soon as the first shot [...]

Catch Up

Posted by Pyrrh on 5th December 2009

I spent a lot of time cleaning up my desk this morning.  It is still a disaster but at least it looks a bit better, and I cleaned out most of my purse.  I’m going to try to be sure I get that fifteen minutes of paper clutter time every day next week and try [...]

Refining Morning Routine

Posted by Pyrrh on 3rd December 2009

I thought it was time to ramp up my activity level back to what it should be.  As my schedule gets more refined and I get more rooms decluttered and completed, it should free up more time to do things, including exercise.  It is always easier to keep up than to catch up!  I want [...]

Relaxing Day

Posted by Pyrrh on 29th November 2009

I had a nice relaxing day today, and actually finished most of what I planned to get done.  The blogs aren’t completely finished but they look well enough to work with for now.  I can take the time to get the posts caught up before I start tweaking and fixing things.

Treasure Hunting

Posted by Pyrrh on 28th November 2009

I had a great dream last night that Bobby had done some research and found a 44 -year-old treasure full of dirty 100-dollar bills!  We were cleaning up a huge pile of them, at least a few hundred thousand dollars worth.  Can I hope that it is prophetic?

$330 for $58 at Food Lion!

Posted by Pyrrh on 15th November 2009

After four hours of getting coupons together, I spent three hours at the store.  I shouldn’t have taken so long for the coupons, but I was behind on organization and it was a mess.  Normally five minutes a day is all it takes for me to keep them straightened up, but I wasn’t feeling well [...]
