This winter I sorted all my photos (the ones you can hold in your hands), made copies and sent or email to relatives that would be surprised by them; worked on my will (where do the albums go when the pics have been sorted and put into albums?), got DH to get out his hammer and level and hung pictures in the house,
sanded and painted a new/used planter in the garage and because of being too anxious, I even went ahead and planted it so that I won't have to do it in the spring, realized I could listen to my French for Dummies while I do the handwashing of the dishes every nite (dishwasher has never been used), internet shopping for this years' birthday presents, and on and on...
This is the season to get all that house, clean-out-the-cobweb type of work out of the way (it helps when the DH feels the same way) so that when we all get out of the house in the spring, we don't feel guilty about the stuff that wasn't done in the house...Right?
