    Mixing in my room is rather inconvenient mostly because I don’t have any good place for all my cases so they are in 2 different places to keep them out of the light.Not to mention I hate hauling them all out to do one mix. Hopefully after these floors are done I can come up with a better way

    I was thinking that seeding usually comes some time before mowing.

    The grass was tall so I mowed first then seeded so I didn’t pick up the seed with the mower. At $3.29 a pound, I can’t afford to waste any. I’ll run the sprinklers later when it cools off a little. We are supposed to be in the low 90’s all week so I’ll probably have to water every day.

    It would be a good idea.

    Grass is really overrated.

    Keep in mind I lived in Tucson for 12 years, and walked around barefoot ALL the time. I think my feet have officially become hooves.

    I cleaned my house! A LOT! I also finished my notes, and one session was so ABSOLUTELY horrible (and like 1.5 hours long) the note I wrote took ALMOST that long but I was like, "IF there is ONE NUT Job MOM who is going to get a COMPREHENSIVE note that is TRUE and ACCURATE it is THIS one." She was absolutely terrifying....,.

    I completed it and THEN got an email from IT that my note software was back up and running.... LIKE 2 MINUTES after I finalized it. They said it would be offline for 5 hours starting 9 pm Saturday.

    If my note has vanished into the ether I am going to kill myself. I don't think I can think about that session ANYMORE not until I am in front of some judge going "Your honor, my note states and I concur...."

    That is like the awful part of my job. But this mom needed a telling OFF big time and she got one.

    It's really best if I don't go near anything DV related. Really. I try. I do.

    I don’t organize by flavor type. I just put them in the next available slot and add them to my master list. I’ve got half of one case empty and discovered that for some reason I only put one flavor in each slot on half of another case so I’ve got some room.
    I'm in the process of implementing this system. It's taking a while, esp. since I decided to write the location of each flavor on the bottle as well as on the list, which also means covering the Sharpie notation with tape so it doesn't smear off. But when I'm done, mixing will be much more streamlined. I do wish I had a tablet so I could refer to the list there rather than on paper, but that's going to have to wait till my stockpiling frenzy ends.

    I don’t mind the paper list. I have it as a spreadsheet on my computer and can easily edit it and print a new copy. I keep it on top of my cases and just pull it out to start mixing. It made mixing 100 times easier for me.

    You deserve a break. You must be so sore and tired.

    I’m not as bad as I thought I’d be today. I think it helped to keep going. I’m taking it easy now.

    Yeah, I'm looking forward to the improvement. It will be so much more efficient.

    I was very, very happy when I realized I could download my inventory from ELR. Saved me a lot of typing/copying-and-pasting. I didn't want to mess with all the bottles already in cases, so I printed the list out and am jotting the location number next to each flavor on the list and then on the bottle. Then will come the job of adding them to the spreadsheet on my computer. At the rate I work, I figure I'll be done in a week.

    I have one of these, too, and love it, but I hardly get to use it, because I keep finding the battery completely dead, when I take it out of my purse. I suspect that the button is too sensitive and it powers on in my purse while getting jolted around, causing it to go dead quickly.

    That is scary.....4 quick clicks will turn it on and off.

    Did a nicriver order today - mainly restocks, I'm absolutely hooked on PUR Boysenberry. Next time I'll get a 2oz ;)

    Also got PUR Creamy Caramel to try - anyone have that?
    Not me.Caramel is one of the flavors I can’t taste
