Days off . . . but I still fell asleep early!

Well drat. After a lovely day off, and with another day off today, I still fell asleep at 10:30 last night. Sheesh.

Our weather up here in Michigan is decidedly unsummery this week. I don't believe the temperature rose past 61 (F) yesterday: skies were bleak and it rained every couple of hours. It was definitely the type of day to work on projects.

Project the first: Going through the closets and culling stuff for a rummage sale in a week. If the stuff doesn't sell, I'll drop it off at the Rescue Mission. Also throwing away stuff that is just too too worn. It appears from this project that the clothes I like right now tend to run to the black/burgundy/green palette. Hmmm.

Project the second: Going through photographs and pulling for two projects. Project A: Niece #1 is getting married at the end of the month. I think it is time to transfer her pictures to her possession, eh? Project B: Boo and Ruby, my brother and sister-in-law, are coming up on their 15th anniversary. We celebrate the 15ths, and I usually make a scrapbook for the occasion. (They are the third in the family to hit that mark. Grizzl and Opal will hit 25 next year. I have no idea what we'll start as a tradition for them!!)

Project the third: I actually pulled out my NaNo project from last year and am working on a revision.

Today I have three more similar projects set.

The down-side to the overcast skies: haven't been able to see the Perseids.

And how are you?
