I don't know how the timer topic came about, but I like to use the one on my cell phone. I keep it on a holster on my hip pocket, so no matter where I am, I'll hear it go off. I don't use it as often as I should, but it is very helpful.

Our kitchen is a mess right now with dishes all over because we found ants in our cereal cabinet, so all the dishes we keep on the shelf under the cereal had to come out, & we haven't washed them yet.

It's supposed to rain all week, so who knows when I'll get a chance to rake up all the pine needles! Probably not for trash day this week.
