Spring Challenge

[Tybee]

1. Repair and replace window box that snow slide broke from house
2. Replace washing machine with used machine from the barn. If that doesn't work, buy new washing machine
3. Replace oven hood with new one already purchased
4. Replace chandelier with track light in kitchen
5. Avoid email contact with brothers and mother's guardian
6. Remove one major stressor from life removed a course from my schedule for the fall which does not pay anything near what it should for the amount of pointless stress and aggravation it causes
7. Lose 6 pounds

Good work, Tybee, dropping the course. And congrats on your WW weight journey!

Thank you! Have gotten DH to take the old box supports and detritus off house, so now need to repair window ledge and of course the wood needs replacing, since that's what happens when you try to do one little thing on an old house. So that project will probably go into June, so that husband can replace wood around the window.

I guess our spring challenge is to start work on our Hermann house exterior. Over the weekend it occurred to me that DH should transfer his work Monday through Friday from the interior to the exterior in this nice weather. It’s quite a lot to do in finish coats for the deck, lots of stonework and some earthmoving.

he can work on the house interior whenever there is bad weather, or it gets really really hot in July August, September.

Okay----I cut up a dozen old tyres, so I could put them in the trash cart. But guess what? I rounded up about a dozen more! So, yeah---that'll give me something to do, instead of drive-n-eat ansd have rolls thrown at mee. See?

Sort last of storage unit boxes 5 0f 5 done!
Decide what to do with the empty bins in storage unit next up
Bookshelf project ongoing
Clear the bed project ongoing
Work on quilt blocks 21/30
Put away the winter stuff evaluate this weekend
Put away the duvet evaluate this weekend

Last of the boxes are done! Tonight's project is to sweep and inspect the empty bins and toss any that are cracked or broken. The bed is still a mess and the bookshelf organization is ongoing. Hoping to have it done before our epic anniversary trip. Still working on the quilt top and there's a little bit of room in the fabric bins. A member of the Buy Nothing group hosts a craft swap during the summer, I might contact her and drop off some of the scraps.

Weekend project is decide if it's time to put away the winter clothes and blankets, and check the blanket bins to see if they're still in good condition. Started going through the closet and pulling aside clothing that doesn't fit. Clothes and bins we don't keep will be listed on Buy Nothing Monday or Tuesday.

Planted the little garden.

Fluoride hearing date is scheduled.

Selected my mayoral candidate and got some blowback when I posted about it, but that's life.

Am walking occasionally but the weather still hasn't been very good.

Hit the mending pile yesterday and happy to say that it is gone!

Cessation of fluoridation failed. Based on a long suppressed report released last month by the National Toxicology Report we believe the lawsuit against the EPA will be victorious in 2024 and once it is we will try again.

Meanwhile although the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions says mosquito spraying reform is needed, the political hacks on my local Con Comm won't touch it.

when the “fogger” truck came through my old neighborhood, I couldn’t believe it. “Are they STILL doing that?” I asked myself. It was like time traveling back to 1975.

And yet on Nextdoor there woukd be people asking when the city was going to spray for mosquitos. Crazy.
