Hi N,

You are absolutly right. One I am a list person from way back.

Two ever since I was hit with FM I find that is the only way I can get

anything done. I also break down and limit myself to one room a day. I

used to be able to do the whole house too. I drove myself nuts trying

to do it. I ended up not only making myself miserable but everyone with

in hearing too. Ha!

Besides it gives me a reason to be on the computer. It's

medicinal.

Good advice. Jan

Jan,

Does this mean I will never ever catch up????? Ugh...I'm in a major freak out

over the state of my house. I know, and yet here I sit on the computer....had to

break...dinner will be ready soon and then I clean up and will try to do some

more stuff around the house. I'm so tired.

I think it's a never ending cycle. Take as many days off as you need.

I think it depends on how deep you can stand the dust. We have dogs

so the floors are a never ending battle right there. The pollen has

been unreal the past few days. We were glad of the rain so it

settled. It was so bad that we had to sweep the deck off several

times.

Just remembered, I bought flowers yesterday to plant on the deck.

They are still in the car. Do they really need sunlight?

I'd better go rescue them. Be back later.
