Hello? Hello? Anybody home?
Am I here all by myself? It's 9:31am CST and I'm up showered and dressed and can't believe I'm the first one here!!!
Ok, I've checked a few times, refreshed my screen a few times and I still see nobody has started for today.... so I guess I'll start. It's a cloudy day and not going to get very warm.. maybe 16* or so... below zero forecasted for tomorrow. I do have to run up to Walgreens to pick up an Rx later, but that's as far as I have to go today.
Yesterday Katie and I had our little open house craft fair at her house. It was fun to see neighbors and meet some new ones. We had few homes turn over last fall, as happens in an "old folks place" tho not technically 55+ Most of us are way past retirement years.
Not sure I have a real plan for today. This afternoon I do have to go over to Katie's and bring all my stuff home. It's going to get sorted into two piles: Keep (mostly Christmas items) and Donate! I've spoken to a gal that volunteers at St. Vincent store and she will take a look at what I've got and see if they can use/sell. The rest may go to Salvation Army or another Thrift store nearby. While I wait for Katie to get home from an appointment I need to get busy cleaning up my own space! YIKES what a mess! Nothing got done here yesterday for sure!! It's definitely going to require more coffee.
so with that... I'm off and send you all good wishes for a Happy Friday AND most importantly prayers for Garry, Flo, healing for Maryz and all in need of a little extra grace today.
