Good morning! I've done nothing so far this morning, and it feels pretty good!

It's freezing! I do need to move some of my little fountains/bird baths in the flower beds so they don't freeze over and crack.

We're going to see Gilbert &Sullivan's SS Pinafore tonight.

Have a lovely Saturday!!!

Greetings all

DD you are the early bird! Glad you report doing nothing. What that means is true rest and rejuvenation. Who decided one must be doing something all the time? Not me. Enjoy the show tonight.

So DH is still on his laundry mission. I had no idea how much stuff he had to wash! Gonna wear out the machines. He wears the same stuff every day so I have no clue where all these clothes came from.

We are watching news while awaiting the start of our football game. It's beautifully sunny out and should be so all day. Looks like good weather is forecast through Halloween which is good for us. I have three days to clear off the kitchen table and counter and dust all the stuff we never use. I have my work cut out for me. I still have a couple of empty kitchen shelves left over from when we had to clear all that stuff out for the floor replacement. I am not sure where all that junk went. Some of it was fancy serving dishes that we don't use. I have a couple of corner cupboards that are bottomless pits for junk. No telling whats in there. I kind of need to assemble all the serving stuff ahead of time as I hate last minute rush. Years ago I learned that the secret to entertaining was to get everything done early so you have an hour or so to sit and relax before guests arrive. We will see if I can pull it off.

I am sure glad that the shooting events in Maine have come to a conclusion. Horrific.

DH just brough out the Halloween storage box. No telling what is in there. I do have a bunch of witch hats so we can sit in the kitchen by candle light and look like a troupe of witches.

I am still doing my daily walk. Kind feel bad if I don't. It's an easy solution for me. People say to find some exercise you look forward to and enjoy. For me the real question is what can I stand to do on a regular basis. Answer seems to be walking while watching the dumb dumb news.

Yesterday I bought clay and was reminded of how heavy 25 pounds really is. And further reminded of how much better I would feel if I had 25 less pounds of flab on my old bones.

More later if anything happens, which is unlikely.

Having some do-nothing time is a great refresher!
