Subject: RE: Declutter and Fitness in early 2014
That TV thing could get a person in big trouble!! I am amazed! Sound and light - I have always found them each difficult but far more so since 2000 when I was poisoned. Ear plugs in pocket all the time now and my wonderful new mask. People tend to believe I am protecting them from my disease. No one questions it.

But, at 20, I went for a job interview at State Farm. They showed me the work area - a huge room filled with small desks, a zillion people, phones, typewriters. I knew I could not work there! It seems that the vast majority of people are not affected OR are not aware they are being affected, so those of us who are have to find ways of protecting ourselves.

Some better today. Made R a real brekkie and had my usual piece of toast/tahini/apple. R went off to work, feeling well enough. Have a load of laundry in dryer (bedding) and one in washer. Also cleared a corner of K where I had put stuff from laundry room, hoping R would insulate that window. But it was all in front of the back door and -YAY!- a moderately warm day so I took out the compost (walking on top of a crusty foot of snow) and cleaned up that corner. Made a cup of Echinacea tea 'cause it made me feel better yesterday (forgot I had it). Here I sit with my tea, building up energy for the next round - gearing up and organizing to go to the cafe and then to the mill. The "warm spell" is supposed to hold through the weekend! ( high of around 30F)
