Cathy, I can't believe you are that caught up with laundry. Good job. I'm not there at all.
As of today, though, doing a mini-load got a new black shirt of HRH's hung to drip dry so he can start wearing it. Have been meaning to get to that, and it seemed other loads were always more important. No way he could have worn that without washing, and no way I'd wash with anything else - it seemed full of dye to me.
Nancy, depending on what methods you are using, if it is planning on paper, I use post-its and paper clips. I can count on the same small (or portion of a larger) post-it with a message to last for weeks or even months, moved from paper to paper. They even make an extra-sticky type and a "full adhesive" type so that the whole back of it is sticky and you could use any little bit (I am cheap). Colored small paper clips do the trick, too, but you either have to know what you meant when you clipped them on (lol - not guaranteed for me) or you're going to have to write on something anyway. So, I do end up being a post-it person very often. I use them, for instance, to remind when recycling comes since it's not on the same trash schedule. Also to remember when my sprouts are finished growing, which is once every 5 days.
btw - There is a Scotch/Post-it brands combo of a "wall-safe tape" now. So, you can write a temporary reminder on ANY paper and just tape onto most any wall or other surface. It looks like a roll of Scotch but is medium blue instead of green. Safe way to display children's art.
lucylee, is that med Col-chi-cine? (my spelling and pronunciation questionable) That is the one that made HRH react similarly. He is supposed to keep it in his pharmacy availability just in case, but is so grateful not to have needed it in a long time. Might not be the same - several meds may work the same way and cause same reactions.
I've been cutting fabric this morning. This is smaller, more pleasant work right now - nothing awkward. Except I did have to use one strip that was cut slightly skimpy so I'm putting safety pins to remind me of that when I make a seam later. Tobias has stayed right with me - he can sense this is calm work, I think.
