Yay! I got some sleep last night, for the first time in ages. Still having some pain, but nowhere near as bad as it was earlier this week, so that's good.

Aims for today:

* shower and wash hair
* attach ancient printer to ancient computer, try to print out the last bit of Mum's writing (fingers crossed the printer works) and then haul both printer and computer to the recyclers!!! Yay for freeer space :-).
* stop by nursery and pick up red & white yarrow, now that I've double checked and found that pigs can eat it
* pick up meds
* buy more cat food?????
* buy some food for lunch, and cook it
* usual 2-3 hours housework, if I can

Things I'd like to do:

* drive out to other nursery and see what herbs etc they have; maybe grab a few more groundcovers for the garden
* go to garden supply shop and grab more containers & potting mix, for weekend planting (for the herbs I bought last week)
* buy petrol


Extras I might get around to:

* order seeds
* start arranging tradesmen etc
* ring computer shop and ask why my printer won't work with new computer (they said it should) and why I can't get new mouse to work


If too tired to do anything,

* curl up and read

Good luck with the infusion, Sniper, and have fun on Friday.

4.20 pm

* shower and wash hair - yes
* attach ancient printer to ancient computer, try to print out the last bit of Mum's writing, and then haul both printer and computer to the recyclers - yes, tried, no, printer wouldn't co-operate. I sacrificed the last bit of Mum's writing and took it to the recycler's anyway. I need the space, and the writing won't bring Mum back :-( .
* stop by nursery and pick up red & white yarrow, now that I've double checked and found that pigs can eat it - yes
* pick up meds - yes
* buy some food for lunch - yes, but it'll be for dinner instead
* usual 2-3 hours housework, if I can - not yet

Things I'd like to do:

* drive out to other nursery and see what herbs etc they have; maybe grab a few more groundcovers for the garden - yes. Got some comfrey (also edible for pigs)
* go to garden supply shop and grab more containers & potting mix, for weekend planting (for the herbs I bought last week) - yes.
* buy petrol - no


Pigs are out and playing; I'm going to do a few jobs outside, and then have an early dinner.

Hints for removing cat poo from carpet are still badly needed (see Thursday thread)...

Have a good day, everyone.

To remove cat poo from carpet :)

1. Remove the bulk of the poop.
2. Using liquid dishwashing liquid, make up a bucket of cold soapy water then scrub the stain using the soapy water and a cloth. Rinse the cloth out regularly. Use a scrubbing brush if necessary. Repeat until stain no longer visible.
3. Use paper towels, to absorb as much of the moisture as possible.
then to remove odor
1. Use half a cup of 50/50 white vinegar and water and pour it over the stain. Once again use paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
2. Rub a handful of baking soda into area and work it in with your fingers.
3. Allow to dry (usually overnight) then vacum up baking powder. Carpet should smell sweet and fresh with no hint of cat poop odor.

Friday TLC

* call and get my med pescription made up so i can get it on tuesday when i have my inflix
* play with kitties


I'm doing ok, although it wil be easier once we're in the new house! Kitties havent been to new house yet. Think we're going to wait till all the furniture is in then move them round so they can take their time getting used to it. New house is much bigger though so they will love it once they're in! No tips off me for cat poo removal i'm afraid.

Good morning again all! Well yesterday I was able to complete all my errands, although I was pooped by the time I got home. Even fell asleep on the couch for a bit. Been a little concerned because on the days I don't have D, I actually feel somewhat better, but when the D returns I am stuck on the couch feeling like doo-doo. Yesterday I only went a few times and they were soft formed and not a whole lot. Don't feel the need to run to to the toilet today, and that worries me in itself. I have not eaten yet and am hoping that once I do things will start moving again. But I hope its not with diarrhea. We shall see.

Today, don't really have much planned, maybe go run some errands with hubby, and try to walk around some to build my strength back up. Hope you all have a good day. Hugs!

I'm alone with my kids all day and night today, so I'll be busy as usual, and tired. Today I'm staying home, but might go to Walmart to get a pool filter and test strips.
