I want the energy. I'm thinking the energy will return in the autumn/winter. DH noted today that my fibro seems to have flared more in the last 6 weeks than it did through the winter.

That's interesting, I thought the Vegas area was supposed to be good for that? (prevention of flareups?) Honestly it seems way too hot for me but then I prefer the cold. (fall/winter seasons)

Depends on the person, I think. The heat just drains me.

Nice to see Autumn posting on this side of the Clubhouse...just love that gal. Your energy has always inspired me, too, Lk. You deal with things so competently that I am impressed. I would not even attempt a walk, for any reason, in that kind of heat. It's as if you look at something, decide what must be done, and just do it. That's admirable in my book. The FlyLady folks have been very helpful. I got a bit ahead of myself...it's only been two and a half weeks, not three. So I had to write and apologize for my lack of counting skills. I said that I would be patient and wait until next Monday before contacting them again about the order. Maybe the summer vacations and the 4th of July slowed things down a lot. I've decided that the kitchen ceiling needs to be painted so I have spent the morning scraping any loose bits and washing it. I don't think it will take me too long; it's just that painting ceilings is such a pain in the neck literally. Have to get back to my humble, just beginning, control journal. I have evening and morning routines down, but nothing else. Happy Tuesday

My thoughts are certainly with you, Vee--I hate painting ceilings--even putting the brush/roller handle through a paper plate with an X cut in its center for the handle doesn't keep the paint out of my hair. The scraping! The washing! Even harder. I'll be thinking of you! (The ceiling in my recently-painted bathroom was fine--all I had to do was mask it to protect its corners--I'm not sure I'd have gotten around to this project if it had included the ceiling). }

I'm about to combine my various Household Notebook starts into one. Would anyone like to work on the control journal here, together? I have the various starts, and just want to put it into one file--an clear out the others. So, anyone who is struggle, could get an extra boost...

LOL, Vee. Thanks....I think. Mods? Is there a way to create a subthread, so that we can refer back to the Household Notebook without strolling through a lot of archives? We could do the discussion in THIS thread, but just for the steps themselves.

I have added the subtopic for you to work on your control journal. Are there messages here you want moved there? If you will let me know, I will be happy to move them for you. Also, please let me know if the name is acceptable.

I moved your 11:35PM post there for you. Also, I turned on the 'Start New Thread' at the top of here so you will be able to start any other specific discussions yourself.

Morning all...I have a reprieve on the ceiling...lots of damp, humid weather has moved in and will be around for a week so no painting for me...I'm so sad about it, too. Hope you all have a happy Wednesday. I see we have a new corner to visit. I love this place. Just when you think you've discovered it all, someone puts on another room.

Julie: We're trying to keep conversation in the FL thread, but the answer to the question is that the first 7 are my religious holidays (I did note that you didn't list Yule, which is the missing Sabat), and the last are my monthly religious observations. I forgot to remove them from the list when I posted them. I should have, tho, just to make sure no one was uncomfortable. I apologize to anyone I made uncomfortable.

Now why would anyone feel uncomfortable? I was not. Not at all, just curious. What religion are they of?

The Journal looks great, Lk. I see there may be a bit of confusion about where to post. Maybe the mods can move Julie's post over here(?). Julie, should you find yourself in this thread, welcome. I hope that you will check things out here. There's a lot of information and just good plain fun. Lk is busy getting us all straightened out...what about everybody else? Sticking to the zone or are you all working on other things? Spinner probably won't have to clean her bathroom any time soon because everybody will be taking great care of the new space.

I'm going to try very hard to keep extra discussion out of the sub-threads so they don't become unwieldy. In answer to Julie's question (and yes, if the three posts COULD be moved, it would be mega-appreciated), I am a practicing Syncretic Witch, so I tend to observe the old calendar. August 1st, for example, is Lughnasadh. Lughnasadh, (also known as Lammas, August Eve, and First Festival of Harvest), marks the start of the harvest season and is one of the times that the fertility aspect of the Goddess and Horned God (who is NOT Satan, despite the desires of the Christian Church to make Him so) is honored. As part of the rite, corn dollies are made and placed on the altar to represent the Mother Goddess who presides over the harvest. It is customary to make or buy a new dolly every year and then burn the old one for luck. DH cannot wait for Mabon (Sept. 22/23), since, for him, it's a dry-run for Thanksgiving. Care to guess my response to him? So, how is everyone coming on the Emergency page of the Journal? I meant to say, yesterday, your Table of Contents WILL vary--I just wanted you to see what I had in my journal and what I will help you create. Vee, actually, today was spent working on the write up for tonight. Tomorrow will be spent cleaning--I'll have my Glucosomine again and I will be feeling MUCH better.

Fortunately, Vee "everybody" in this bath is just me. We have enough baths, now that the kids are grown and gone to their own homes, that we don't need to share which is handy because we often go places together and this way we can both get ready at the same time. I do use the shower in "his" bath enough to keep the glass walls clean (easier to do it when you're in it) but unless we have company, the redecorated bath is all mine. When we have guests, I move back into "our" master bathroom. But when I did baths today, I did the new one too. Wanna keep it shiny! I stuck to the zone today. And I read over (and enjoyed) LK's Journal notes. On my morning routine, it's the same every day for the most part but each day (M-F) has its own "special" added chore: Monday, I recharge my cell phone in addition to the regular items, Tuesday I add watering the house plants to the list, Wednesday I add dumping the ice from the icemaker if needed--the shutoff isn't reliable and it tends to make too much ice, Thursday I spray out the bird bath with the hose and Friday I change the cut (from the garden) flowers in the house. None of these things take long at all but they are all things that I'd forget to do if I didn't schedule them somewhere. This has worked out well for me, adding them to the morning routine. If I were going out of the house to work I would schedule them somewhere else, I'm sure. And, I must confess, "morning" around here is a loosely-held term; because we are night owls, "morning" often begins sometime around noon.
