    This Week's Assignment (Deep Treatment): We're cleaning the entryway and closet to make room for a landing strip. A healthy entryway consists of: coat hooks or hangers, a doormat, and a space to sort mail. You're also moving old magazines and mail into the outbox, and cancelling catalogs.

    Hi, all! I guess I'm going to have to take an Incomplete grade on this Cure... Life has a way of throwing unexpected things in one's way. My father (age 95) had a fall on Thursday, and broke his hip. He's just gone into the O.R. for what will likely have to be hip replacement surgery. So between going back and forth to the hospital, and helping my 87 year old mother out at home (I'm staying with her right now), curing my apartment has gone fairly far down my list of priorities.

    I'll check in when I can to see how the rest of you are doing. Y'all take care and have fun!
