Wednesday PWYC

Here's a link to a household chores chart from post war Britain.

For those of us watching Downton Abbey, or more accurately, Upstairs/Downstairs, it gives examples of how to run a household without staff since the women of that day, didn't know what to do.

And yes, I got distracted. I've also lost a bottle of blueberry/pomegranate soda water. Somewhere. No idea where but I took it out of the fridge, noted it was 2/3 full, put it down and haven't seen it since. On the other hand, I've done stairs a dozen times looking for it. And my knees haven't hurt!

Hi again! I have had dinner and Bible study at church. We have homework again. I did pick up the medicine afterwards. Since I have been home, I have done a LOL, unloaded/loaded dishwasher, taken care of cats and myself, and fixed tomorrow's lunch. Now I will do some work on dNiece's doll dress while watching a mindless video. An end is in sight on that project. Maybe done in a week. I will keep it until I have had a chance to show it off at the knit/crochet group on Saturday. I will also take pictures and post them to Ravelry and here. But first, gotta get it done.

Oh, I love the chart, Kathryn! Why, oh why, can't I maintain a schedule of some sort???

Hmmm... I notice there was no place on the chart for
* surfing Internet
* teaching school
* getting dmom's mail
* talking endlessly to dmom on phone
* going to Subway for dmil
* filling up the car

Oh well. My ta-da's for the day:
* NO COMPUTER until after s2s (which meant I didn't get to tell you ladies 'good morning'!)
* Busy, hectic day @ school
* Called phone company & newspaper on dparents' behalf
* Stayed & school till 4:30
* Got dmil's mail
* Visited dmil w/dh
* Went to Subway for dmil
* Went to dparents' house to check mail
* Ate supper
* Filled up car w/dh
* Home
* Talked to dmom on phone
* Did schoolwork
* Vacuumed for one full hour...
and only did floors in kitchen, laundry room, dining room, guest bath, den, hallway, and computer room. ALso did all furniture surfaces in den. Still need to get master bath & bedroom floors at least, before I put vacuum away. That still leaves study, ds's old room, guest room & bath. Those will NOT get done tonight.
I think I would like to move into the woods, like Thoreau.

OKay -- how does this habit thing work? I looked at your link, but could only see the message for today. I was looking for a "how to get started" kind of page.

(((Harmony))) I am so sorry you caught dh's bug! Get well soon!

Hmmm... I think I can do the chair trick right, Kathryn, but I lose my balance as soon as I'm "standing."

Waving to all. Hope y'all have a great night and a good day tomorrow!
