Here is the previous Declutter thread. Now that BS threads (at least, MOST BS threads) have an upper limit of 700 posts, this is the time to start a new one before the old one is decluttered from the face of Mudcat. The old one will be closed so it isn't accidentally posted over it's limit and so this thread can be discovered by infrequent participants.

Today the laundry room flooring underlayment will be painted on in a strategic patch (behind where the washer is now pulled far away from the wall.) I've measured the space so that once this first couple of rows of vinyl tiles are in place and had time to set (and the edging and quarter round put back) the washer can be moved on top of it and I'll work outward from there into the rest of the room. This home DIY approach to flooring and painting without emptying everything is equivalent to Mr. Bean's swimsuit.

The cats are in fine fettle at Cats' Paradise -- I called up to check. Watson socializes; Isobel maintains a strategic distance. No, I did not drive out there; it's way out on the fringe of Almonte and the price of fuel in my neighbourhood has reached $1.78 per litre. Besides, my guts do not feel ready for an hour and a half in the car (45 minutes each way) in mostly high-speed traffic.

The worst of the virus has passed, but I'm not well yet. I can eat only small amounts of a few foods, and I tire quickly. But I have regained 1.5 kg of the 2.75 kg that fell off me between Thursday and Sunday, so I'm probably just about rehydrated. Also, my knees have ceased to wobble. If I never drink apple juice again, I'll be good with that.

The sun is shining vigorously as if to make up for last week, and my so-called Christmas cactus is covered with buds. It will bloom in the middle of Holy Week.
