Kat, I wish I could be as methodical and persistent as you. I'm sure you'll get everything done.
Robin, everything about Austin is crazy!! I thought your kids went to the panhandle of Texas.
It's been extraordinarily busy at my house. Son's business partner/friend and wife stopped by on Sunday. Yesterday my daughter and my cousin drove out from DFW for the afternoon. This morning the 4 grandkids and I went and fed my cows and my niece's. I'm teaching the 16 yr. old how to do all of it. He's eager to do anything that involves driving. Is scheduled to get his license next month. Last evening he and his dad went out driving my old clunky junker, which I got running last year mainly for the grandkids to drive, though I like driving it myself at times. Well, while they were out, six miles from home, the clutch went out altogether. Had to leave it by the highway overnight. Someone is coming today to tow it to a shop. The window cleaner guy, for my house windows, was coming this afternoon but he called and postponed until tomorrow morning. He was afraid he'd run out of daylight. We need to go to three towns but I don't see how we're going to fit that in. My son has to work most of the time and with the holiday coming up, time is short. Oh, and did I mention that all of son's family arrived sick? In varying degrees of colds or allergies, sinus infection or whatever. They say they've been battling it since mid October. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and thinking I'd surely caught it but now I feel like I often do with allergies. So many people are saying this is the worst allergy year they can remember. I don't disagree. My house literally looks like a war zone but the 3 boys have just left with their dad to meet the tow truck driver so I'm just chillin'. Granddaughter, 15, stays in my house and reads all the time. The mother stays out in their travel home. And the wind blows, keeping levels of pollens and molds stirred up.
