I pushed myself to get busy last night. I finished putting away laundry, cleared the pile of boxes in the living room, and actually have a big pile to take upstairs tonight. Every time I walked by a tree I added an ornament or two! LOL!
Tonight I may take a friend to run errands, or I may continue on emptying boxes and taking upstairs. Or both. I'll have to see how the evening goes; but it all needs to be done..... there are 5 days until I have company coming, and ....
...... 37 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Homemade Bread Day" ... "Anniversary - Suez Canal".
Quotes of the Day:
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. "
-- Mark Twain
"Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person. "
-- Dr. David M. Burns
