I don’t have to go to work today, but that does not eliminate work from the agenda today. I have work to do and lots of it!
I am heading off to the post office to send some packages out. I am finishing up the never-ending laundry. And, I am casting on sock #2 for my May Day Sock Swap Pal! Yes, I am behind the 8-ball a bit. Sock #1 is done, and done nicely! Sock #2 will soon follow! I will not be crying “May Day” but sending off a nice May Day Surprise package instead!
Having rejoined the ranks of the employed, managing a house has become a challenge! I am seriously in need of some downsizing in housework! Right now, I have floors that need to be mopped, sheets that need to be changed (which will make more laundry, gah!), bathrooms that need something more than a “quick wipe”, and I need to put a serious grocery list together! I seriously need to find a “Housekeeping Genie”! Especially since I have no magical powers - I cannot wiggle my nose like Samantha did on Bewitched - sending things moving through air to their correct place, nor can I blink like Barbara Eden did in I Dream Of Genie instantly making things right and in their place! So, I am looking for a “genie replacement”! It will give me time to knit, spin, and unwind after work! It will also make my days off a bit more manageable. So, my goal for the week will be to find someone who can do a few things here for a reasonable sum of money!
So, I am off to get a sock cast on and get to the post office! Have a good day all!

Hey, when you find that entity, would you send them my way???

May Day, May Day!!!
Happy May Day to you - just wanted to check in and let you know I mailed your socks via priority mail so they should be there shortly.
Enjoy all your goodies!

I found a housekeeping genie at FlyLady.net. Her program works for anyone and everyone and there is no cost (you do the work). As a working adult (I’m a school bus driver with crazy hours) taking care of a housebound aging mother, I can tell you it works as long as you try to follow her suggestions and adapt them for your life style.

Yeah, I need one of those too! There just isn’t enough time in the day to do the fun stuff and the chores. Sometimes I wish I didn’t need so much sleep, but that is definitely a necessity for me!

Hey Kat! Could you get that house genie you found to post on the blog too??
Seriously, I miss seeing what’s up.
I know you are busy, busy at work-a good thing, right?
But how’s it going????

I have 3 house genies, but none of them work all that great (husband and 2 sons).
I believe I need one that sympathizes with the need to knit in a clean environment - for the sake of the fiber!
