Subject: RE: Declutter and Fitness in early 2014
By the time R got home last night, I was a fury of frustration - not enough electric! HAve to tun off a heater to use the microwave; cannot use the toaster oven ad the microwave at the same time.... I have said it all before but it was like he never heard me! No hot water! A kitchen that is falling into the cellar! WHEN will it get better?

So today, I determined to re-arrange the LR. First, move the two useless "heaters" into the stairwell. then move desk. I CAN do this. HAH! Desk is in several parts and very old. It now sits in an awkward state as one piece fell off its base and I ran out of energy. Sofa, TV, and two large chairs moved and ---I don't like it!!!! But lots of dusting and floor sweeping done.

A neighbour stopped in and I dumped on her a full load. She was very good! Darn! She is moving to the country. Would like to borrow the pick up. I shall miss knowing she and the kids are here, even though I rarely saw them. They are the only neighbours we do see! So she friended me on FB - on my computer - and I found out her name is not "Dupreen" as I have thought for four years, but "Teprine"! ????

I figured out how to share a wordpress blog to my FB page - a new one on environmental sensitivity. The computer work and glaze work of yesterday is feeling like I actually did something.

Meanwhile, the guys delivered two water heaters which are now added to the wreck of the K. Then, exhaustion hit and I felt REALLY sick - the water heaters SMELL! Really feeling sick I went across to the pizza place and bought a medium french fries and came upstairs - where it is finally warm enough to pot, but I came to escape the odour after turning the air cleaner to high downstairs. Ate most of the fries while reading; FF are something which make me feel better in certain situations; this was one of them. Went back down and the odour is better but still there. I came back up with computer just to be safe, I hope.

Too tired to pot OR finish the LR. But I no longer feel sick. So I shall sit up here and rest up for the next round. Maybe in time for the 5:00 news. It is warmer today and not raining - yet.
