Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Yesterday's gloom is gone, and it's clear and bright for now. More clouds are due in, but they're saying no rain until at least late tonight. Today will be low to mid 60s ... a lovely day, and maybe the last warm one for awhile.
Yesterday: DH's appointment wasn't until nearly noon, so all the "usual" morning stuff got done. Since he had to wait on the doctor, a 15 minute visit took 2 hours. Thank goodness for e-readers! LOL! After that, a few quick stops meant dodging in and out of showers. It was late afternoon when we got home ... and I confess ... I did not go upstairs!
Today: As this could be the last "nice" day for awhile, I'm planning to try to get most of the outside stuff packed up. I don't know if I'll get it into the barn, but I guess ... sob! ... most of the lights will get turned off. I'll have a few stay on a bit longer, at least until the days start getting a bit longer so it's not so dark and dreary at night! :) I also have to fit in a run to town for yet another med that just got changed last night. Drat! LOL!

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. I got up to gray and wet, and the forecast is for this all day. But, it will be near 60, so at least not a "cold rain". According to the weather guru, we need the rain. :)
Yesterday: We had a busy day, but accomplished more than I expected. DH had to make a quick trip by the doctor's office in town. After that he went by the bank, we got some lunch, and he got a haircut. Then his DS took us home, took the car back to his shop and put a new alternator in it. I'm so relieved that's done - I think if I didn't take care of Big Blue (which I try very hard to do because I love that car), my daddy might haunt me! Yay, no more *squeal*! LOL! And, I got a bit more work done upstairs.
Today: There's yet another appointment, and it isn't until nearly noon. That makes the day longer, but can't be helped. After that we'll go pick up refills, and maybe get some groceries. If it's still raining by then, we just might use a Christmas gift certificate for dinner; and I'll get groceries tomorrow when the rain stops. :)
This is the beginning stage of the storage/packing project - getting empty boxes down so the upstairs can be cleaned and organized. Then all these boxes (there's actually about 2 dozen in this room) can be loaded with Christmas stuff and put away neatly. I hope! :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The day started out a bit cloudy, but will probably be a mix of clouds and sun as it goes on. It will be warmer, around 60, than yesterday's chill. But tomorrow we may get cold and wet again, so today will be nice!
Yesterday: I did do a lot, just not what I thought I should have gotten done. I'm still working on cleaning and organizing the upstairs room; so I brought several more boxes down to sort out. Boy have I got a lot of junk!! LOL!
Today: DH has a brief appointment with medical vampires this morning. Then we'll go by the bank; and hopefully after that go get (yet another) car part taken care of. I hope I still have some motivation left when we get home to keep working on getting that room ready for storage! :)
I found this candle holder a year or two ago in New Bern. Tonight I finished up the bottle of wine (1/3rd glass) so I had something to put the holder in.

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Well, it's chilly and damp; but they're saying we need rain, so that's a good thing. :) It will only be upper 50s today. Warmer was nice, but this is more how January is *supposed* to be!
Yesterday: I got myself busy and made a lot of progress on clearing and organizing the upstairs room. I have a long way to go, but any small progress is still progress! I even got laundry done AND put up.
Today: The supply order came very early (and without the notice we were supposed to get). So, I'm a bit "disoriented". I have no idea what today will hold at this point. I should get scheduled chores done and keep working upstairs. DH may want to go get some appointments (flexible) over with. I'd really just like to curl up with a blanket and a book! LOL!

Good morning! It's a beaufitul morning. The forecast is for mostly cloudy; but so far it's still very bright and only a few thin clouds. It will be "cooler" than yesterday, but upper 50s still is quite nice for January!
Yesterday: It turned into a bit of an odd day, but still ok. I went to a birthday party in the afternoon; but because I didn't have the right time at first, I sort of wasted a bit of time. It's OK, it's the weekend! LOL! I did manage to get a tiny bit done on decluttering.
Today: Since next week will be a little busier than I expected, I will try to get a head start on a little bit of stuff. It's not time to take down Christmas yet, but it is time to get the storage area prepped. And, sad to say, I'm going to have to go through a lot of boxes and -- *gasp* -- let go of some decorations! LOL!
Winter tree and sky.

Good morning! It's beautiful morning! So far it's mostly bright and sunny, with only hints of clouds. The forecast is for mostly cloudy; but it will be in the upper 60s! Here we go, the "normal" NC winter see-saw! :)
Yesterday: I actually got a lot accomplished, even though right now the house looks a bit like a disaster. I had my appointment in the morning, and go back in 3 weeks (to see if new drops are working). I got most of the daily chores done. Then my friend helped me bring about 30 empty boxes of various sizes downstairs. A few of the boxes weren't completely empty, but those have been sorted. Four of the boxes have gotten started, and I'm trying to keep similar stuff together.
Today: This afternoon I'm going to a birthday party. Then I will work on getting the upstairs better organized so that I'll actually have room to pack Christmas back up again. :)
Maggies favorite daily spot is looking out at the front yard.

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and will be a much warmer day. It'll be mid to upper 60s and sunny all day - maybe my ice fountain will melt away! :)
Yesterday: We got everything done that was planned! Yay! Lots of trash got gathered up and dropped off, as well as a bag of recycling. We went by and paid the rent, and then finally rescued my (old) sewing machine. I didn't get anything else done, but it's OK. I did at least cook dinner (for a change! LOL!)
Today: I have an early appointment this morning. Later this afternoon I plan to do today's scheduled chores - vacuum & change sheets. Also, a friend and I are going to start bringing empty boxes downstairs. Sadly, it's getting nearly time to pack up Christmas decorations.
Oops, sorry, forgot to attach a picture and post this yesterday.
