My house has slid downhill dust and clutter-wise during this cold, but I think this evening I'll be able to beat back some of the mess. My sense of smell is still off, my son thought he smelled something odd this morning (might be the air filter on the heater) so I'll poke around. And I'll drag the vacuum cleaner with me.

Michelle, how are those birds of yours? I have to put up the bird feeder now that much of the garden is finished (they scatter seeds in the working garden and end up perching and pooping on things I don't want poop on when the garden is going). Do you have a camera handy? I would love to see what it looks like when a rooster chases a squirrel! And are you still sitting in yoga doing your deep breathing or meditating?

Kat, how's the jewelry making, and how are you feeling? Will Morgan be over to spend more time with you next week?

I'm going to have to continue to lean on my son to get these applications finished. And I'll be mailing transcripts to all of the schools. We got a bunch of certified copies last week.
