I figured out why I'd been sleeping until 8am the last couple of days: diphenhydramine.

Yesterday was definitely a day of Getting Things Done. Really weird, but I'm not complaining. Colleen and I went to investigate Grand Wheelchair & Medical Supply (in Fremont near the Consonance hotel), and got a new 17AH (i.e. bigger) battery pack for her scooter. Then we had a st/roll around Santana Row (the local high-end mall).

Meanwhile, my new 15min program seems to be off and running. I did some cleanup in the kitchen, some website work, and sorted last year's non-tax receipts into envelopes (which has the side effect of freeing the file folders for this year's receipts). And made dinner and brunch reservations for next weekend's Las Vegas trip.

I made dinner in the crock pot (mini-sausages and baked beans), not knowing when the YD would be arriving with her entourage. It turned out to be somewhere around 7pm; we now have a large pile of boxes in our living room. Things could get crowded if Chaos decides to move back.

Some sad news: our favorite grocery store is closing. Other links under the cut as usual.

Is your fifteen minute program Flylady? I tried clicking the link, and just got the hidden cuts.

I love Flylady.

[mdlbear]

No, it's not Flylady -- all my own invention.

I've seen references to Flylady and it looks interesting (from a quick glance), but no. Yesterday's post has a little more information, but I really ought to make a dedicated explanitory post for it.

I didn't open y'day's post, so I clicked on 15min, which of course turns out to be a tag page... clicked back to Previous 50 and found the first:
"trying to devote at least 15 minutes / day to clutter reduction"

I think I should try that.

("Do it, Boss!")

Thanks for reminding me. It's now linked from my latest post, 15min: Developing good habits.

Comment about moving back...

[chaoswolf]

If I decide to, it may be around March. Nez has her share of rent payed through until end of March. We may be breaking the lease at that time, and I will either be moving elsewhere up here in WA or be moving back down there. I'll be talking to you & Dix at Conflikt, and will try setting out some feelers of my own to see if I can find something else.

[mdlbear]

See you then!

Re: Comment about moving back...

[chaoswolf]

Read my recent post, so you know I'm not sure.

By "then" I meant Conflikt, silly woof.
