thanks for the kind words Nikol….problem with me these days is that our basic maintenance is so laborious that I’m not living my life or spending time the way I want to spend it. I’m thankful that the winter is not as difficult as last year. I would like to have more time and enthusiasm for the things that interest me.

BTW do you want some bottles for your beer? I can bring you some…how many do you need?

P.S. Don’t get bummed about your ancient farmhouse adventures! I always feel heartened about my progress when I visit with my friends who live in regular, non-special needs homes. I figure if my parents can take a a year to replace a switch plate cover or Sue can take 5 years to paint her guest room, I can’t feel too bad about still having that stupid hot glue on my hallway walls (and the thousand other things looming). You do what you can on the PROJECT and live your life!

Your uberlist inspires me. I quit making lists since I was always misplacing them and getting discouraged. Clearly it is more difficult when one doesn’t work from a list. You are so awesome really in your vision and that it doesn’t get you down when you don’t meet all your goals.

My old house is a PROJECT and 17 years of living here without much progress. It’s a sensitive issue. If I kept focused and kept reminding Charlie to “be with me” in certain areas it would really help.

I appreciate your resourcefulness and ability to persevere. I know you have a lot on your plate…and I think you do it with aplomb.
