On second thought, I didn't quite save enough to pay him.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-26901960023865338572015-09-13T12:01:56.191-04:002015-09-13T12:01:56.191-04:00Good heaven, Denise, laboring on Labor Day, indeed...Good heaven, Denise, laboring on Labor Day, indeed. You are a force to be reckoned with, and should probably have yourself a few days of R & R to recover. <br />There's something quite satisfying about being your own handyman tho, so I applaud all your efforts and hope the money saved goes toward something lovely and rewarding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912084837671096141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-76429476810134086382015-09-09T18:47:55.420-04:002015-09-09T18:47:55.420-04:00We didn't get any of the rain here either exce...We didn't get any of the rain here either except for a brief downpour of a few minutes.

You got a lot done - about 100% more than I did. As for the last time I cleaned my windows -I am not saying.

She has a schedule that she follows.

Here, at work, the a/c is not working and I am melting, have a hard time breathing, nauseous and have a headache-I am bitchy! :) You are busy just doing what you are doing! My mom is German so I was used to cleaning the windows once a week. I am not doing that any more:) I think every couple of months is fine:) Germans are a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning. I have seen The Theory of Everything and was not enamoured with the movie. It was good but I felt Benedict Cumberbatch should have been the winner over Redmayne. He also reminded me of a young Austin Powers to me which is bad of me, I know, but i couldn't help it. I think I have heard of that TV show-is it from PBS? I have not watched it.

You certainly have saved yourself a lot of money. But it is hard work and cumbersome too, and kudos to you for tackling it singlehandedly and pulling it off too.<br /><br />You should write one post about the many times the little one hears a Yes even when his grandma says NO.Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582482381203565646noreply@blogger.com
