Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! Sunlight is streaming across the yard ... making the frost sparkle! It will be mid 40s today, and mostly sunny. Yesterday turned out also a lovely sunny day (although still pretty chilly!). I got a lot done though. My dining room is about 95% reclaimed (not counting the one white tree still in the corner). The living room is getting there; and I took 7 or 8 or so boxes upstairs, and tried hard to keep the upstairs relatively straight. My (obvious?) goal is to know what's up there, where it is, and be able to get to it when I want to! :)
Tonight is business class, so won't be home until late. Well, later than usual. Depending on how tired I am, maybe I can get one more box taken up. Mostly all I have left to do ... except those 2 white trees ... is the kitchen. That stuff is on a high shelf; but I'll have to get it down. Eventually! LOL!
Today is "Boy Scouts Day" ... "Laugh and Get Rich Day" ... "Culture Day (Slovenia)" ... "Needle Mass (Ha-ri-ku-yo - Japan)".
