nmoira Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 My only project today (other than everyday stuff) is researching whether it's worth getting a repair person in to look at our 11 yo washer or if we should just get a new one. I was pro- new one, until I saw that they're approximately twice the cost of our old one. Inflation, inflation... :eek: Oh, and to hand-wring all the sopping wet items sitting in the washer. Shoot.

Myra Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Took youngest to crew winter training in town from 8-10:00 Doing a load of towels then comes the bed sheets Took Christmas tree down yesterday - that seems to make the rest of the house look "shabbier" so maybe if I vaccuum each room and straighten up a bit maybe that'll "calm" me down Nmoria - our 15-year old washing machine is on its last legs, too. When it broke down before x-mas I found a appliance warehouse that only sells parts - told the guy the symptoms - he told me to try one of the two parts - bought them - looked on internet to install - and for $35 my washing maching lives ......for now! Or did I jinx it by mentioning it here! And Jean - you need to take a day off this weekend. I'm getting tired and guilty reading all the work you do daily! Ha!

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 The entire morning was jettisoned so that I could have an "emergency" adjustment by my chiropractor. (Can't tell if it has helped yet - still in a lot of pain.) I also talked to and got a free appointment with an acupuncturist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 2nd coat of color on ds's room, plus trim. Filling holes in concrete floor in ds's room, getting leveler tonight and leveling tomorrow- woot! Then next week paper bagging the floor. Dh is feeling better than he has in 2 mths and is gettting trim out and measured- got a space for the saw. We got the sanded door out of the shed and are ready to stain it for ds's room. We might actually have a totally finished bedroom soon!! Plus 4 loads of laundry, moving the entire contents of bedroom to basement main room, made hummus, omelettes, roast in crock-pot and looking at jobs again. Dh and I spoke to a MOps group yesterday and ran into a gal who went throug the MFT program with me. I could so see getting lisenced.....looked at jobs this a.m. and dh and I are talking mid-long range plan for the house/work for both of us-. Doesn't sound like much, but the emotional energy to think/talk this way-kwim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithr Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Had nice lunch with dd where we tried the escargot. I almost threw up but didn't. Snails really are as bad as I thought they would be! Took same dd to airport, said goodbye. She's off to her last semester of college. Won't see her again til she graduates in May. Came home and cleaned and decluttered my half of our bathroom sink area in the master bathroom. Cleaned jack n Jill bathroom Vacuumed kitchen, family room, front hall and powder room and bottom half of stairs. Wet swiffered kitchen, family room and front hall. I should plan meals for the week now and maybe hit the grocery store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Okay Jean, I will join in today because we(dh and I) have had an exhausting day! We have been busy all day trying to pack for the States. Luggage is in car. Prepare the house --repair work is being done in pretty much every room while we are gone by the landlord so massive tidying. We have returned library books. Dropped a baby present off with the parents to be. Bought the food and made dinner. Lots of laundry. Ripped a part my stored school books because I couldn't find one that dd thought she had to take with her, it was on the bookshelf, then it was part of the luggage reduction sort. It has been busy! Really tired. We still have a lot to do tomorrow.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Shoot. Washing machines no longer qualify for tax credits from the state. But it's done.
