I've thrown the soap box out for now. I love the title of your new thread! Missed you!
The boys and I spent the day on yard improvements. Two trips to the dump, stacking wood, one last lawn mowing, gutter cleaning, etc. S19 even got up on the metal roof and scrubbed moss off. I really went nuts with the preassure washer I borrowed and exhausted myself.
The place looks great outside, but the inside is trashed. Oh well, this is the PNW and the rainy season will start any day now--plenty of time to clean the house.
In the last week, I also enlisted the help of the "girlfriends"--we cleaned and redecorated S19 and S16's rooms. Honestly, it was mostly for my benefit because it nauseated me to look in there!
I'm a bit worried about work this week as keyboarding is not working very well. I still have no feeling in most of my middle finger.
