a house related activity for whimsical wednesday! in 30 minutes or less, remove 5 items from any storage area in the home: a drawer, cupboard, closet, tote. after removing the items, place them in categories: trash, utilize, thrift store, gift. do you feel lighter?

miscellaneous monday

sunday brought television viewing that only occurs on sunday.  monday morning brought a monday appointment and medication taken from the "monday" compartment of the weekly medication container. looking at the calendar indicated it was indeed monday. however, despite all evidence to the contrary, for me, it was tuesday. therefore, this week in the world of whimsey, tuesday comes before monday.
