Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Although the forecast says "motly cloudy", so far it's mostly clear and bright. Today will be much "cooler" than the record-setting last 5 days ... only upper 90s! LOL! It's already humid, and there's again the chance of afternoon storms.
Yesterday: Once I finally made myself concentrate, I really got busy. I put together 4 cabinets, and began a bit of the daunting task of putting things back in their new homes. I still have more cabinets to do, but at least I'm seeing a glimmer of light in the tunnel! :) I also managed to do a bit of laundry, although I still put off folding sheets. Late in the afternoon, just before dark, I went out in the yard and filmed puppies playing. They were having a lovely time until they spotted me! LOL!!
Today: I plan to tackle the last of the cabinets and continue getting everything put back together. If I can finish re-organizing this room (this week's "project room"), I can stay on my self-imposed schedule. At some point I'll have to go do all the "regular" boring stuff like mopping and vacuuming. But once I finish the current project, I *should* be able to get back to doing some sewing!! :)
And ... just for those of you who *want* to know this ... Christmas is 5 months from today!
