They’re here!

I am grateful to be in a position to be making estimated tax payments today.

Early Mass.  Today’s project:  Laundry.

Today’s project is to get my sewing/knitting room morphed into a guest room.  That mostly accomplished, we went to Schmitt Music’s Warehouse Sale.  They’ve got some used Steinways I wanted to see.  Olive Garden for dinner courtesy of a gift card from Al at work.  A failed attempt to find a replacement dog door at PetsMart.  A trip to Target for a shower curtain for the north guest bath.  Home Depot for a new light fixture for the Bunk/Crib room.

I was sitting in my car at the Ridgedale Byerly’s, double checking my list, when a man tapped on my window.  I cracked the window open just so I could hear him ask for money.  He said his car ran out of gas and he was trying to raise some money to buy gas.  I shook my head and closed the window.  I’m grateful my car is helpful in maintaining my policy of keeping all the doors locked all the time.  Part of me felt bad to have turned him down.  I could have given him money, but chose not to.  I had a bad feeling about the situation and I honored that.  The drizzle kept Avery and I housebound, with the exception of filling the bird feeders. 

I feel sick.  Considering what I’ve eaten in the last three days, it’s no wonder.

My Birthday Party!  Steve made a chicken/beef stir fry.  I hope someone got a picture of this year’s Gingerbread House! 

I don’t know why this machine (Fuhitsu P1620) no longer recognizes my thumbprint and requires a scan of my index finger.  One minute it’s 9:14 and the next thing I know, it’s 10:40.  Time flies!  A winter storm had me housebound all day and it looks like more of the same tomorrow.  I’m mostly caught up on laundry and both guest rooms are ready!
