The housecleaner is finishing up the vacuuming. Sooooo nice to have everything clean and tidy again. I did ask her if she could fit me in an additional time a month and she said 'SURE!' She used to come every other week but I cut her back to once a month when I got laid off and then retired. It worked while I settled into the new money situation. But, now I know what I need and have and if I have to cut back on something else, I know for sure it will be worth it.

And speaking of money, I pledged another Kickstarter project. I have now sworn twice to never do that again. So much for my vows. This one is by the people who make my nearly perfectly wonderful waterproof earbuds. These new ones fix the issues I have with my current ones. I applaud their endeavor and love their warranty and appreciate their customer service - plus they are just down the road in Corvalis so... kind of local-ish.

Today in my swim I reviewed all the sewing I want to do and remembered a white board thing that I found the other day when cleaning out my closet. It's flat and you can stick it anywhere. So I think it's going on the back of the armoire door for listing/tracking all the projects I want to do.

I'm totally failing at not following post season baseball. I'm swept up in Chicago Cub-itis. And still looking for a Blue Jays win.

I discovered today that there is a Seattle Police Museum about 4 blocks from here. I can't believe I never even stumbled on it by accident. I'm going to have to go check it out one of these days.

I am starving like it's an hourr past lunchtime and it's only 10:45. hmmmm. I'm thinking brunch now.

I know so many people who are beside themselves that the Cubs won yesterday.

Not that you need to know about their kickstarter project, but I donated to the Plus Pool. A project to put in a pool in the East River that will use river water, clean it and spit it back out. I got my name on a plaque that will be one of the tiles in the pool. They want more money, but I can't keep giving. I though it was just such a cool project!

I saw about that pool when they first announced it. I was going to say that since it's so far away, it didn't really do it for me, BUT, the one that really did grab me is way farther away!

A house cleaner would be so nice. I've thought about that a few times, mainly because I absolutely hate cleaning my bathroom. lol

There was a time when, for work, I moved every 18 months. I had a friend who swore that as soon as that area under the sink got full and unmanageable, my solution was always, always, Sell The House And Move!

And since you stopped paying Chef Anita, that gives you a bit to spare for extra cleaning, no?

The Cubs are the only reason I'm paying more than passing attention to the playoffs.

And still looking for a Blue Jays win.

And you got it, although they took a rather unusual path to get there.

Yes, exactly. It's way cheaper to be clean than fed anyway.

That Blue Jay's game was something else - several times over.
