Well, I just finished one load of laundry and started another one. DH never washes kitchen towels and I was down to ONE. I have dozens!!!

We read that fecal/oral contamination is more likely to come from your laundry basket than your bathroom... that our undergarments contain lots of fecal matter and that when we wash in cold water with other things it just swishes that stuff around and deposits it on the clothes in the same load. So now we are washing in hot water with bleach and doing undies separately - kind of a pain but DH has a very sensitive gastrointestinal system and is fighting a coughing thing, too. So we don't want any more contamination. He's a doctor and gets lots of kids sneezine and coughing in his face each day.

I got a nice surprise - my nephew who is 18 and taking his senior year classes at Kent State came to visit me and brought me lunch~~!! We had a lovely visit and he played with my fur kids (4 out of 5).

Right now, since it is beautiful outside, I have the window open and 4 of the 5 fur kids are sitting here with me as I type... what a treat.

Next I'm going to get a big laundry basket and whisk everything off the flat surfaces in my kitchen/office. Then I'm going to get some sort of filing cabinet and start a filing system I can use temporarily while we organize DH's crazy room.

Here are the fur kids enjoying the sunshine.
