016 and 014 being goofy

014 being goofy - we were assembling his desk chair and he said "look, it's a booster seat!"

All done...

Back to Winter? I'm getting whiplash....

So, after almost 2 weeks of near-60 degree days, we've plummeted!  Last night it was in the 20s!  What the heck!  I had to go out in my winter gear and cover up my lilacs. I'm worried about the peonies, but hope they will be hardy! Next week is supposed to be better.

Old Business:

• Small stack of memorabilia needs filed.
• Been reading 2-3x a week, so that is getting there.
• Been studying the Trail Guide 2ish times a week, so that has been good too. 016 is a good body model for me!
• Been good at reading magazines, at least an article a day. That is very good.
• Still not getting anything serious on the new hire. Suggestions??
• No more movement on the garage.
• Getting a LO done every week, pretty much. That's been fun!
• Pace has been better!  LOL Now I have to be careful that I'm not getting sucked into black holes that are not worthwhile.
• Directory updates are done, printed out, and 016 helped me fold and staple them. Will have to mail them out this year, but that is OK. Guess it is a good thing I saved all of those old shipping envelopes!
• Heart and Soul still on hold. At least until 1 May. But, I'm not really expecting to be able to go back to work then. It will depend on the governor.  
• Water softener still needs hooked up. Gadget has not been able to get down here to do it.
• Flowerbed look so much better!  Haven't gotten along the alley yet, but soon! I've ordered new flowers, but not sure if they will be able to fulfill the orders. Garden Centers are closed. But I'd like to hold off on the alley until I can start planting more back there...
• Was able to get the newsletter done and mailed out to everyone!
• Relief bill has been frustrating! No one know what's going on!

New Business:

• Keep up with family
• Keep up with blog writing and posting
• Keep searching for ways I can help people - my neighbor and one couple I go to church with have needed grocery shopping
• Not focus so much on myself
• Looking forward to sunshine, getting massages (myself) again, and of course giving massages
• Keep working on leads from the Wabash salon
• Maybe work on house project list
• Keep hoping that all keep peace and calm in their hearts. And that we come together and forget the political craziness that all of this has stirred up. Love to all of you!
