I love sunset.......
I can now move around in the center part of the house -- where the computer, kitchen and living room are -- without being blinded.
Now to get caught up.

Heading out. I think I'm a bit better. At least I've stopped going through tissue like we owned the company.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
We went into town to pay the electric bills, had some lunch and stopped at Rural King (which is in the same strip mall as where we had lunch) so Spirit could get her popcorn fix. Now, I'm going to get organized and caught up. I do believe I'm better today. I stopped sneezing last night, my nose is unstopped and I've pretty much stopped coughing. I'm going to be careful so I don't relapse but I AM gonna start getting the "housewife stuff" caught up. Not to mention "writer stuff."

Already exhausted. Skywise called from work to tell me that the building was under lockdown due to a "bomb threat." It's taken care of now.  http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/suspicious-vehicle-prompts-lockdow...

The driver is in custody. He's from Fort Wayne and told the receptionist in the Post Office's Operations Office that God had told him to come there to find a wife. The police caught up with him at Lucas Oil Stadium and I'd imagine that they will be having a long talk with him. His vehicle will be towed and my nerves will settle eventually.

Edited to add 2/25/15: The link is dead. Sorry.

Rested an even slept a bit. Now I'm going to finish getting set up for Agent Carter. I'm encouraged by the fact that ABC is referring to tonight's episode as the "season finale" rather than the "series finale" which means that they haven't definitely decided to cancel it.
Anyway, I'm off and I'll be back after I have dinner started.

Afternoon.
We've been to Bloomington and back and I'm getting caught up. Since we're still low on megabytes -- didn't get a full refill last night -- I'll be offline most of the day. NOT that I don't have a ton of offline things to do! And, I'm still coughing a bit and my nose is still a little stuffy so "not overdoing" is at the top of my "To Do" list today.
Now to the catching up!

Caught up. Skywise is at work and I've found all the info on Amazon that I need for the list I'm making so I'm heading out for a while. Be back later.

Laundry and a bunch of dishes are done. I've hunted up some more information that I need to design the "mobile kitchen" box. (STILL haven't decided on a cool enough name for it) I'm trying to watch the weight of the thing. The box empty is going to be heavy and while most of what will go in it doesn't weigh much, it adds up. I'm trying to keep the number of pots and skillets to a minimum but cookware for a group (we are a family of four adults) is large and therefore heavy. It will be too big to fit in the Urban Terrain Utility Transport and I really should have a way to move it (alone or just me and the girls) through "not urban" terrain -- as in through the yard or from the parking lot to the picnic shelter.

Wheels, maybe, since the legs are removable...... Smiley

Did some figuring just now. The contents of the mobile kitchen will be coming in at around 50 pounds. This does NOT include the box itself which is supposed to be made of ½ plywood which isn't exactly "lightweight." Putting wheels on the legs isn't practical. It would be too top heavy. A multi-terrain cart made for yard/farm world might do. I'll have to see what's available.

I'm currently looking to lighten the box itself. The end pieces are a "sandwich" of ½ plywood and 2 x 4s and I cringe at the probable weight of them since I've wrangled both plywood and 2 x 4s at various times. The original design may well be a case of "overbuilding" but to be fair, a Scout Troop's patrol/chuck box gets a lot of use and needs to be rugged. Ours doesn't need to be quite that robust so I'm looking at ways to have detachable legs on a box sturdy enough to hold what I want to put in it.
Anyway, Skywise is home and I'm heading out. The eyes have about had it tonight.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Skywise is on his way and I'm FINALLY able to post!
I slept in this morning which was really nice and then paid bills which wasn't so nice but had to be done before Skywise left for work. Complicating matters was the amount of feline "help" I received! Nothing like trying to write a check with a furry tail in your face! Right now, I'm doing laundry and trying to figure out how to redesign the end panels of the mobile kitchen so the legs stay on without the need for an external panel of plywood on each end.

Back to doing laundry. Tried to nap but the brain wouldn't settle down. At least I was able to rest my eyes.

Skywise is home and I'm heading out. It's payday and you know what that means! Plus it's colder than a penguin's backside tonight and it will be more of the same in the morning.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and keep warm! Smiley Smiley

Smiley Yeah, it's been that kind of day so far. Fortunately, Skywise was able to leave on time and things are starting to settle down. THAT could change but for the moment, all is peaceful.
I FINALLY have some tea and I'm going to get caught up. THEN I'll start on the laundry of which there seems to be no end.....

I should eat but I'm too tired to fix myself anything. At least the girls are fed.

Recycling done. Couldn't find what I wanted so I ordered it online. Time to get busy. Or not. I may just take a nap.

We are being snowed on. We have about an inch and a half so far and it's coming down at a pretty good clip. *sigh* Another snowy weekend and Monday morning digging out.

Morning.
It snowed. Lots. We've got about 7 inches on the back steps.
Tell me again about "Global Warming." Personally, I think "Little Ice Age" might be closer to the mark.
