1. Clean nasty living room.
2. Clean semi-nasty kitchen.
3. Consider cleaning junkyard-decorated screened in porch. Despair.
4. Plant flowers that are still sitting near the garden.
5. Write out bills for paper customers so they are ready to deliver on the FIRST!
6. Play with babies.
7. Eat chips and dip while everyone is gone so I don’t have to share. 😃
8. Watch Law & Order. All the way through.
9. Finish up all those votives in the candle room…oh, how I hate labeling…

I figure I should at least be able to accomplish #3, #7, and #6 today. In no particular order.

2. Schedule MRI

#5 is no sweat. #4 is confusing and may take a while. #1 and #3 are making me really nervous, for some reason, and I probably won’t get to them today. I’ve said that every day for a week. _sigh_
