stgulikBoy, the more I hear from friends and acquaintances on the internet, the more I think I must be part of the minority, because Daylight Savings has absolutely no ill effects on me. Never has. I have no idea what everyone else feels, or why it's always so hard on them. And I'm grateful! It sounds horrid.
It was a quiet weekend. Worked a little on our future guest bedroom. There are now four big boxes, filled and taped up. I borrowed a handcart from our next-door neighbor, and once the rain lets up, we'll transfer the boxes to the garage. Little by little, the job gets done. You may wonder why I don't make our daughter help with more of this project. The first reason is, she's tremendously busy with work and school; it's difficult to get her to schedule any time here. And the second reason is, she created this mess, but she's pretty useless about reversing the process. I mean, she's brilliant; she'll go far; I admire her in many ways. But whenever I put her to work on this room, she either gets depressed and can't part with things, or nostalgic and can't part with things. Progress is slow, to say the least.
And this is no job for Groom because his knees are so terrible, he could get down on the floor, but there's no guarantee he would stand up again. Please know that in the grand scheme of things, he does his share around the house, so I'm cool.
In fanfic news, I submitted prompts to the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sshg_promptfest and put in a request for Draco/Hermione prompts on dramionelove. In case I didn't mention, the Dramionelove entries must be 1,000 words max, which works well for us commitmentphobes. Quite nice. Check it out!

Date: 2016-03-14 03:04 pm (UTC)We've got to get busy on the guest bedroom for when the kids come. Poor Hubs - he spent yesterday finishing up his play, then helping to strike a very large, involved set, and he's Mr. Achesnpains today. I don't think I'll be able to get much done, but maybe tomorrow.
I'm going to get off my fat arse and submit my SSHG_Promptfest prompts today. I can't wait to read yours. Who knows? There may be the perfect prompt in there for me ;)
