Good morning! By the time I finished my blog yesterday all I had time left for was finally eating for the 1st time at 11:p, thanks to Kyle who cooked for us. I would have eaten right then anyway, but he probably made a more substantial meal that I would've made for myself. I did manage to clean the house through midnight, surf eBay & add a 3rd pic to my beautiful Lindsay Top Knit & Crochet Patterns auction (3rd pic), & take some of my game turns on facebook before Pete got home at 1:a. Then it was the nighttime

routine & bed. My Sim Robert from Bridgeport Heights spent time with is pet, made waffles for breakfast, & headed to bed. He got a few short hours sleep & then got up & went to work, came home & went right back to bed. When he finally got enough sleep he woke up, showered, & went right back to work. Poor guy isn't having much time to do anything other than sleep & work. Back IRL, I got up earlier

than I would have liked on a Saturday morning considering what time we went to bed. I took the dogs out, the FD was put on standby for a smoke investigation, I started my House Plant 32 bean banner (4th pic) & love it so far. The 5th pic is all my banners. & here I am. My Sims game for the day is a house I built called Diamond (2nd pic). It currently has 5 residents & the current Sim I'm playing is the 2nd gen Sim who's a Paramedic (level 3 of the medical career) & going to be promoted to level 4 the next time he goes to work. He's already mastered the logic skill that's needed for his career. His mother is level 9 in the medical career, & his wife just got fired

from her job. Their daughter Elizabeth is a  toddler still & will be aging up into a child in 2 game days. The 1st thing my Sim did today was go to bed for the night, wake up & showered, & headed off to work. Back IRL, apparently Pete was wrong about the Jazz Festival being today. Now he's saying it's next Saturday, which means I can actually go to the Onion Festival in Princeton today instead. :)

Clean gutters & downspouts. Gutters & downspouts should be cleaned to ensure water is effectively being diverted away from the home. Clean gutters & downspouts in the spring after a long winter, & do so again in the fall to keep fallen leaves from blocking the flow of water. Downspouts should extend 4' from the outside wall of the house.

Look at the word responsibility - "response-ability" - the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They don't blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.

Loudly sing a sea shanty while sitting in a restroom stall. (A suggestion: "Barrett's Privateers," a very catchy tune by Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers.)
