On the Eighth Day of Christmas

Well, my to-do list isn't following through as I expected, and that's only because with the living room/dining room in disarray, plus the kitchen just feeling grungy, it was a toss-up to pick only one area.  Wanted to clean behind appliances---I exaggerate, not 'wanted to' but 'need to' is more like it.  That will have to wait until tomorrow---or even later than that.  Today's focus was the living room, and putting up some of my Valentine's Day pretties.

Love how the house looks so fresh, though, after putting away decorations. Doesn't everyone feel that way? The rooms feel larger, and getting it vacuumed and dusted thoroughly feels good.

Not much else going on.  Only would love it if I had the energy of a younger person and could get more done at a time.  I'll have to accept my limitations, however, and be proud of what was finished.  Moving the living room furniture is a treat, and seeing things from a different vantage point is a refreshment.  The same old/same old is plain boring.

Now will shuffle around assorted boxes and shove things out of my way so's I can cook dinner.   Enjoy your time off, if you still have some.  We're not beginning school back until Monday, so all is well here.
