It's been a very satisfying day today because I got so much accomplished. I'll be able to go to sleep tonight without a list of things I should have done scrolling through my brain. It's been that way the last few nights. The only thing I didn't do is, (are you ready?) put away the Christmas tree. If it were in a place that I saw everyday, it would have been taken care of a long time ago. It's in the living room, I never use that room, and I never use the front door. I forget it's there. I swear I'd keep it set up if I could carry it into the basement that way. Emily said she'd help me undecorate the tree and bring it down to the basement this weekend.

The house is really clean and neat. The laundry's done. All the holiday stuff is put away except for the tree. I did some research, banking, and shopping online. I made dentist appointments. Clipped coupons. Grocery-shopped. Made a cornish hen for dinner. Made my lunch for tomorrow. I even had time to read the newspaper. Woo hoo.
