Maryanne, you have a lot going on your plate. Good luck with getting all of that retirement stuff worked out easily.

Hazel, you've been a positive influence already. That saying, "don't put it down, put it away," is a good one. So before answering this thread, I went in and filed all of the papers I've been dropping on top of my filing cabinet this week. It took about 10 minutes, I shredded a couple of things, and the items left on top now are action items, they require a call or a response. The rest could be filed. Thank you, and keep checking in on us!

Mary, can I ask who you work for? It's nice to be welcomed to the neighborhood like that -- and it's nice to know that there are places around to stop in if you decide you want a lunch for a special occasion or to take a client out. Here on my campus they put in a "club" on campus for faculty and staff, decorated to the hilt with gorgeous glass by our premier glass artist in the region who teaches on our campus. It really is a nice change to go in there and feel pampered, after much of the food service (Aramark) or fast food offered on campus. Enjoy the new digs, and all that the neighborhood offers!

So, papers filed, dishes done, and laundry is in drying.

My son has 2 weeks of school left (he's graduating), and we're down to only two uniform shirts that fit him. We're doing laundry every day or two--whatever it takes. He actually looks pretty good in the style he chose to wear to school, so we might buy a couple to take with him to university, but for now, we're coasting on fumes. And washing and putting things away as often as we need to.

Planning ahead - French toast for breakfast tomorrow. And that's it, I'm done for the evening. I go in to the office tomorrow, and have to do some de-cluttering (of paperwork) there. Catch you later!
