Re: ~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ To Do / 5 Minute Challenge Thread Week ONE
Sunday to-do list:
-finish loads of laundry -pick apples from the tree -feed, water, and walk dog -hem 7 curtains -wash dd's new bedding -help dd pack things and prep for her room to be painted (the painter is coming tomorrow at 8 am) -work prep for the week and start to load kiln for firing -go on a long relaxing walk or bike along the river...either alone (bike) or with a friend (walk). It's a slow start to my list because I took advantage of an empty house to have a long soak in the tub.

He's ok, some kind of inflammation of the cartilage of his sternum that I can't pronounce or spell
 he's off work tomorrow, I'm not sure if that will help or hinder as far as getting stuff done.

Re: ~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ To Do / 5 Minute Challenge Thread Week ONE
I spent all morning pretty much learning APA citation. I have a history major so I only knew MLA. Arghhh! My to do list might need to be simplified to include only dinner and homework. I'm really tired with PMS, which isn't helping matters!
