The urge to clean up the basement is huge right now, but I'm going to buckle down and work for a while first. If I can't connect or have issues I might have to hike on up to Portsmouth, but hopefully I'll be fine. I definitely need to reclaim the basement as part of the living quarters of the house, rather than as a place to put stuff to get all mildewy and dusty. One step of that is rigging up the dehumidifier so it drains to a pipe that goes outside. This is key, because leaving it running and emptying it constantly is a PITA, and it'll be better all around to have it running consistently.
I am going to try to make a chest for the event. I'm not sure I have enough material, but we'll see. It'll be a great way to use up some scraps if I can pull it off. Not that I don't have other projects to do, but I've kicked the monkey on my back named Diablo2 so I should have more time to be productive now. This is A Good Thing (tm). Maybe I'll make progress on
The challenge is that we're cutting back on finances for a while. This means no trips to buy supplies for said projects, so I'll have to finish up ones I've already got stuff for. This is actually a good thing, as I've got more half-started projects than I can shake a stick at.
Time to get something done....
Have a good one!

helpful hint perhaps ?
We rigged our dehumidifier hose to go out the same pipe as the water from the washing machine.I have been in touch but didn't know anything :( I shall e-mail her in a bit.

Re: helpful hint perhaps ?
Great idea! I'll have to see if that's be do-able, given the location of our washer, etc, etc...July 29 2005, 00:04:13 UTC 6 years ago

It's more of the same old, really. I still have lots of symptoms that aren't all that concerning on their own but when combined point to unpleasant things like MS. Two years ago or so I had a range of tests that didn't come up with anything definitive; as of tomorrow I'm back on the test wagon, having a couple of brain MRIs, what fun. I'm seeing a neurologist and a gastroenterologist (sp?) and on top of that I'm wracked with anxiety (not about the health so much, though, strangely.) Really, really bad anxiety, of the panic attack, tied up in knots variety. I've got a prescription for Paxil (anti-depressant/anti-anxiety med) ready to go out to the mail order prescription company first thing Monday morning, and I'm not thrilled about the prospect of going back on meds, but I don't know what else to do.
That's pretty much everything.
