Good Evening, Flowers! The wind is howling outside and there is a very fine mist that has been falling most of the day. The side streets are covered with ice, but so far the trees and electric wires seem to be ok. It must be light enough that it doesn't cling to anything until it hits the ground. Bob has to usher this month so will have to leave early for church. I'll either ride in with him or not go if the trucks haven't gone by with sand. I don't mind driving on snow, but I sure hate the ice.
I was the best customer at the gift shop this morning. The Christmas items go on sale Monday at a 40% discount. The lady in charge called me and said I could take my 40% today so I did buy a couple of painted trivets. I can use them as gifts for next year or keep them for decoration myself.
We worked in the basement this afternoon. I pitched electric blankets that no longer work as well as washed a pile of shirts that Bob said could go to the Good Will. I figured they were dusty from hanging in the basement and they were. The Christmas stuff has been put away for another year and I need to vacuum and put furniture back in place tomorrow. I don't know what I did all vacation but it sure wasn't much from the looks of my kitchen counters.
Susan -- Where did all of the vacation days go? I will be glad to get back on the schedule of Monday seeming like Monday. MIL said today seemed like Sunday to her because it was so dreary and there was different football games on TV. Thank you for sharing the cute poem!
LaVonda -- It would be nice of you to start a weight loss program at work. If your coworkers join in then you could plan healthy snacks and everyone would be working towards the same goal of losing weight. You would have a support system right along side you!
Maggie -- I hope your cold is lots better by the time you read this. I love the bits and pieces of wisdom that you share with us! I seem to "start over" way too many times, but have to remind myself that starting over is better than not doing anything.
"Gma" -- I missed your post today and am too tired to go back and look for one. I hope you had a good day!
I'm heading off to bed. I need to get back in the routine of getting up early for school. Ready or not it starts all over again on Monday. Have a nice day tomorrow!
Jean -- in Iowa!
