Well, we've gotten through the holidays, the wedding and my husband is on his way home.  Here I sit.  I took today off.  I had planned on doing it because of the drive to the airport, but Gracey drove.  I kept my plans.  I really need to have some sense of control over the amount of work involved with the house.  I am almost done at least touching everything in the main part of the house and making some sense of order.  About 20 or so bags of trash have gone out the door and a cat scratched love seat is on the curb.  I now have crawl spaces, garages, storage areas and basements to weed through. 
I did some normal domestics today, Walmart run, I made applesauce out of 4 sad apples, and I'm vegging on the sofa with a boy trying to go to sleep on my arm.  A good day off.

To do lists never end, they just change.  I thought my December to do list was quite extensive the way it was.  Now it's a totally different list with this transitional list thrown in.  I have to wrap up what I can of the old schedule in the next couple of days. 
My new list is completely different and elsewhere. 
I hope to leave home on the 15th  to head up to Illinois to start on the "house project."  A daunting task, but I feel I have the time and it's a way to help. 
I leave behind, unkept appointments, unattended parties, a Christmas production, our California Christmas trip and a birthday boy.
I need a 4 day weather window to travel easily with the short one.  And I need him to continue to strengthen and become accustomed to his new med.  He's walking now, but with lots of help and he's not doing much of anything.  He's a couch potato! 
Well, I need to finish my paper to wrap up my sociology class.
