SRS: candle - animals are terrific! Ancient general Store in Ontario burned to the ground because of a fat candle left in a shallow saucer. How did people survive the age of candles! Of course, many did not. When I used them for my only light, I was hyper-careful. But your fireplace is going to see new life! And your candles will be severely monitored.

Michelle: You got it. Sometimes we are just meant to stay at home!

Kat: I have no idea how to blog but it is on my list of future things to do.

Last night's supper - about 9 pm - turned out to be more. Rob had not, as usual, eaten since breakfast. I need to work on that; even a bag of peanuts in his pocket; he works until his brain stops working then comes home HUNGRY. So, added spaghetti sauce on rice - both already in frig. Yeah, I had some too. But worse - or better! a half a package of choc mint Girl Scout cookies. He needed it. I did not. They were good though.

Today, we took the air cleaner upstairs but it would not work. I had to leave as a few minutes up there gave me a headache. He came down about an hour later full of all he had accomplished. Good for his spirit!! And, hence, mine. We WILL be able to use it soon!

Meanwhile, I did some organizing in the shed and brought in 3 full boxes, found some good stuff. Most will go back to shed, some freshly washed. Organized some books and added a few special ones. Hard to put books back outside! But I shall tape them well and DO it. Started chick peas in slow cooker in prep for Sunday's potluck - gingered chick peas, a good vegan meal and better if it seasons. Washed dishes, clothes being washed and dried.

Need to bring air cleaner back down and see if I can fix it. Tomorrow.



Tonight is our cafe night so I am spending afternoon on FB social life and here, also reading current novel. And looking at two excellent books from library: The Permanent Pain Cure by Ming Chew which is very holistic. And More Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things (Readers Digest) is full of good ideas, including chapter on de-cluttering. I think I must buy it as a reference.
