THURSDAY. Temps were about 25 degrees outside. It's not going to hit the 40s until next week so I'll concentrate on interior cleaning and organizing while dreaming of SPRING with lovely flowers, green lawns and lustrous trees a bloom with leaves.
What a nice thought to have warming my heart and lifting my spirits. I frequently say we are one day closer to SPRING. It helps me get through the shivers of WINTER. pause.
On Wednesday, I went to lunch with a friend and we had a good visit and conversation. Ate at a small eatery where it was quiet and easy to hear one another speak. It was almost like a Spring day outside so getting around was pleasant. Wonderful to get out and about and also have a meal with my friend.
Hubby stayed busy at HOME while I was out. He hung a framed buffalo print I bought him awhile back. His kids call him the GREAT WHITE BUFFALO when he has played table pool. The nickname stuck. So when I saw this print, I had to get it for him. Well, he got it hung up in our TV room. He shuffled a lot of boxes that I still have to organize, but until I get there, the boxes are grouped together waiting for that big day. Also, he wrapped and boxed up our antique depression glass Madrid Pattern dishes that I have collected through time that need to go to the garage for storage as we rethink what we are doing in the Tinyville COTTAGE. A GREAT HELPER! I continued to work on laundry.
THE GOOD NEWS IS.......I am just about finished with getting caught up on the dirty laundry. My blood pressure lowered and a feeling of contentment appeared. I am amazed how this makes me feel. I have a load of sweaters drying right now as I type. A load of white blouses and shirts are being laundered for the second time as I am working at getting the yellow stains out. When the sweaters finish drying, the whites will go in the dryer. A load of towels will be washed and I discovered a basket full of bluejeans. That will probably be two more loads. I have a nice white bedspread that I want to launder THEN I will be finished? All caught up? ALL CAUGHT UP. I will celebrate tomorrow for sure. Wait a minute. I forgot the basket in the closet so I will work that in. ABOUT 7 more loads. Can I get a witness?
The never ending laundry basket is never empty for long. I just can't seem to get there today. One more day or two is needed to empty that basket. Nothing better to do on an ice cold day in the neighborhood.
A sign of LIFE is a basket full of dirty laundry! We're living the dream. grins.
