Feb. 28: Daybook

Today…

Outside my window... it’s very, very cold. It’s not as bad as it has been the last several days, but it’s still cold. I’m done with this. Soooo done. Spring can get here any second, please.

This weekend, I… got a bit of a bug up my butt and decided to do some thorough cleaning. It was the kind of cleaning where the mattress and box spring are put out of the way so the whole underneath area of the bed can be vacuumed four times and the storage boxes are cleaned out and refilled. But it didn’t stop there; the project continued into our office and even downstairs. The good thing is that our bedroom is as clean as the day we moved in, and our office is well on its way. The bad thing is that Victor’s not speaking to me.

I am thinking... that I’m almost decided on a new color for the office and before I get all the bookcases re-stocked and other furniture in its new permanent place, I want to paint the walls.

I am thankful for... my very dear friends. As I work on the compilation of the past year’s blog posts, I’m RE-reminded of how often they’ve been exactly where I need them. I love them all mushy-like. So much.

I am creating... some monster projects in my head, and I’m going to have to say NO to more than one, I’m quite sure. I’m thinking of putting a team together for this year’s Relay for Life. I want to finish up my office décor. I’m trying to make practical menu plans for our family that we won’t be bored with after one week. I’m working on ideas for upcoming PTO events. My 25th high school reunion is being planned by two delightful girls (I’m one of them) who are possibly insane for taking on the responsibility. I’m thinking about going to my 20th college reunion in Walla Walla this spring. That’s a lot of things.

I am hearing... the sounds of Flight Control, a game that Val introduced us to and Victor’s playing right now. It has consumed us ever since Thursday night. It’s completely addictive and unrealistic but SO MUCH FUN OMIGOD SO MUCH FUN.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Work, some meetings, more cleaning, maybe some fun.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing, and I dedicate it to my friends who have been suffering from insomnia recently:
