What a lovely day off my husband and I had today! We slept in, BOTH of us, until just before 9am. There is nothing like a good sleep to make the world seem like a happy place.
We both spent the day catching up on household chores that seem to pile up sometimes for many weeks. Each little job took only a few minutes to do so we accomplished a lot today. It felt good! Light bulbs were changed, piles of food containers sorted with some donated to the church kitchen, some extra kitchen cleaning, banking, groceries purchased, piles of old mail and flyers read and sorted and mostly thrown away, appointments made for car repairs and winter tire installation, a plan prepared to deal with the compost outside so it doesn't attract rats over the winter, a build up of emails answered, garbage sorted and set out for pickup, camping gear from the summer finally sorted and put away properly....it was a grand, calm, "work around the house together like normal married couples" kind of day. Hoping for more of the same tomorrow morning before the work outside the home begins for another week. Hopefully in two more days I will start a room to room purging and cleaning project so that the winter will seem less overwhelming...rooms full of unnecessary "stuff" to look at inside the house coupled with a ton of snow and ice to look at outside the house is more than I want to bear this coming winter.
