Saturday the way they are supposed to be

This has been my first "Saturday the way they are supposed to be" in a while - months!

By that I mean the day to catch up on things around the house without the pressure of some project that needs to be finished with time running out (like the 3-4 week yard project that turned into 3.5 months!) or somewhere to be all day Saturday (or all weekend) so that you don't get anything done. [Granted, those weekends can be good, but they don't lend to getting things done around the house. :)]

It has been a somewhat laid-back, but productive weekend so far. It is nice to get things done without feeling the pressure of a deadline (like trying to get done before dark or before it gets too cold).

I replaced my cable modem (because the cable company kept sending notices that I had to before the end of the year). I rearranged some things to get rid of an "extra" piece of furniture in my bedroom & then shifted some of what was left a little to not be so crowded. Cleaned house. Did laundry. Swapped out summer/winter clothes & shoes. Took a load to the Goodwill. Put together one of my two new stools for the kitchen. And did the weekend run to Wal-Mart.

Now I'm ready for some dinner - and see if I get the 2nd stool put together later tonight.

[For those wondering, yes, I finally finished the yard project - on October 2. It's a good thing, because it turned cold the next week. Fortunately, we've bounced back the last few days to the Autumn we had seemed to skip this year. I'll post "the end of the story" on the yard saga & the pictures I have promised soon ...]
