Well we are off again. Tomorrow is our last day to get ready. I am not quite so excited this time. I really love our house and our life here in Langford and I am not quite so enthusiastic to give it up for the next month. When we get home on March 7 we will have just under three weeks before heading off to Maui for three months. At least in Maui most of our kids will be visiting us at one time or another.
I was in the shower today, washing my hair (shovel list..just in case I haven't said it enough). When I got out I dried my face off first and lifted my face up to dry my neck …… and saw a big dark spider, HUGE, up in the corner. I freaked and damn near dashed out of the bathroom…starkers, that would not have been good. I scooped up a boot that was laying there and winged it with almighty force into the corner and as the boot crashed down, knocking a load of crap six ways to seven, I saw that the damned thing didn't even move! Still in blind (I didn't have my glasses on yet) panic I scooped up the other one and fired it even harder at the spider. Again it didn't budge. What the hell? I grabbed my glasses, put them on and looked up…at a previously unnoticed brass hook in the ceiling. Okay…I felt pretty stupid and it really did scare the crap out of me.
Weight is exactly the same as last week. And this week's challenge is…well lets say batty. Yes, its batty. And this is one week I WILL NOT BE DOING IT. In fact this author is beginning to piss me off. I have a life, one I really like, and it seems each week that lovely life is getting less and less doable. I am going to list what she says so here goes:
Keep the outdoors outdoors. Yup! According to her we pack in all kinds of chemicals and allergens when we come inside. And how to go about fixing this? Well here is a simplified list of what she thinks we should do about this.
1. Institute a no shoe policy in your house…including the queen should she come to visit
2. Create a buffer zone from outside to inside, a place to remove coats and shoes and leave them there.
3. Make sure the floor is a hard surface in this zone. If it isn't, rip up a section of your carpet and replace with tile or hardwood.
4. Accessorize: shoe scraper, outside mat, inside mat, shoe mat dryer, a bench, an exhaust fan, hooks and baskets.
Hahahaha!! Are you kidding me? I am beginning to think this book was written by an uptight germaphobe. I shall keep up with every Monday mentioning the next good thing, but I am getting that old familiar "ridicule it" feeling. We will see. I still haven't looked ahead so we will see just how silly this gets. Although I think its going to be hard to beat this weeks challenge!! TTYL
