The 'rounds' are helping me get things done, RR. I actually set my timer for only 7 minutes and sometimes able to get onto the next round. Then dh came home -and you all know what that means. Plenty of interruptions.
One nice thing is he no longer has to do the 'sliding of his arm across the table'. That means my place mats can stay in place. I decided a long time ago that I know why the place looks pretty disheveled when I get back here in the spring. He (like perhaps a lot of dhs, leaves things as he uses them). Am I right? Job security for me at least.
With that in mind I'm trying to leave things so he has plenty of room to do just that come March. Then it'll take me the usual couple of days to put things to rights.
I feel better than I did this morning and am slowly getting things done. Now to look for a receipt that I found the other day. Did I put it with the booklet that came with the bicycle pedaler I bought a couple of weeks ago? Of course not. I laid it down again and now I have to 'find' it again and this time staple it to the booklet. It has a 2-year warranty so I definitely want to keep it. This particular one is quite heavy and I really like it. For the life of me though I sure can't get my feet in the attached pedal stirrups. So I try to be careful pedaling away without them.
Editing: Just to say that I went through about a 2" stack of papers on top of my printer and every receipt I had saved (now shredded) looking for that bike receipt. Finally resorted to looking in my wallet -sure that I hadn't put it in there. I was so sure I'd had it on my desk.
Of course there it was! Now it's stapled with the warranty card into the booklet that came with the pedal exerciser. Done!
