Breathe

Once my leaves are all up, I'll REALLY be able to breathe but for now, I'll breathe a little easier with this election finally over. That being said, now is time for the real change to begin. Dems need to get their shit together and figure out how to get things done! And yes, reaching across the aisle is part of that. Today is the kickoff to (I hate to say) the presidential 2020 campaigning and if we are going to keep this thing rolling then no one can sit on their laurels. There needs to be a leader and right now we don't have one and Nancy Pelosi isn't the one to get it done. She's fine and whatever but we need a young whippersnapper to charge this party up.

And I'm done.

Okay well, yesterday was fine. I worked in my room for most of the day...got some shit done but it wasn't anything that I couldn't have done slowly throughout the year in preparation for my science class next year. I went to one meeting on my HSA dollars and really it wasn't anything I didn't know. There was some info on investing but with Jim's health and the need for us to use most of the money in the account, that isn't something I'm ready to tackle yet. Someday.

Jim and I came home yesterday and did more leaves. The front yard is nearly complete. I'll complete it today when I get home. Thankfully most of the leaves in the front are off the trees so once that's complete we should be good there. Thursday I'll tackle the back. I'm hoping just to be able to mulch back there rather than canning and dumping. We'll see. Another day of drying out will certainly help.

I'll be happy to have the leaves done by the weekend so I can focus on other things. I think this weekend I'll be cleaning out my "dressing room" and organizing some things: Closets, filing cabinet...stuff like that. I also want to go out and test drive a car and look at fireplace accessories. I want to white wash the stone and then get a mantle. I started looking yesterday and I want something rather rustic looking but it's hard to find something online...I'll have to find a place for purchase in person.

Okay well damn...it's early. These boys got me up way too early...it was a 4:30 tongue attack and man oh man are my nostrils and ears clean!

Happy Wednesday! Later!
