Some Things I Must-Should-Ought-Want to Do in the Next 10 Days (21-31 March 2015)

I usually must watch film with DH.  There's no TV in the bedroom, which is the area Thor is restricted to for at least another 24 days.  DH has been threatening to set up a computer with all the TV shows on it, but I don't watch TV without him.  Still, I'm leaving a space here for the possibility that I'll watch something on my own.

  1. Nice! It's inspiring how you've constantly kept those lists of tasks, and crossing them off soon as they've been done with. In any way, I hope that more tasks will be crossed off in there, especially the ones that involve cleaning. Spring is coming, so hurry. Hahaha! Thanks for sharing that, Jeanne! All the best to you!

    1. I wish I could get them done and crossed off as well! Still, I live in hope.

      My mother once apologized to me for teaching me to clean compulsively and to a high standard. By then, it was too late...having a clean environment gives me peace of mind, and any mess creates a proportionate amount of anxiety.

      As an aside, I broke down and bought a wet-dry vac to use throughout the house. I am over the delusion that removing the fur from 3 cats and 2 dogs can be accomplished by a Roomba, or even a swarm of them. One of your parking lot sweepers might be more appropriate to the job! Or Rosie the Robot!
