Have your doctor supervise any weaning from the meds, then, don't freelance.

Yesterday was a gift, temps barely into the mid-80s. Today the predicted high is 93. The dogs and I went for a walk last night and we all enjoyed not sweating up a storm or panting the whole way. :)

The main culprit in the kitchen and living room is once again paper. I've been organizing it, recycling what I can, and identifying the pieces that I no longer need for school planning for my son. My daughter probably gets most of her paper at her house now, I get a few duplicates of things. I have files for both kids and will keep them up to date, and if they need anything, can look in one place.

A friend lives in a cute little Frank Lloyd Wright style bungalow (designed by one of his students) and is working on it so he can put it on the market. He's had too many financial hits to keep it, he thinks, so now that the roommates who contributed nothing to the enterprise have moved out, he, like me, can make his way through and it will stay clean behind him.

I'm not planning to sell or move any time soon, but I can say that it makes a lot of sense (especially after seeing what several of you have been doing for the last year) to have the house in the kind of shape that if I decide to sell, I can just list it. I need to not only clean, but to finish the projects that I started, and think about those television programs for people trying to sell their houses: several times I've thought the houses looked so good they ought to stay.
