Daily blogging >was< my intention, but this house stuff has been tiring and nearly all-consuming.  Wednesday I spent the whole day hanging pictures and towel bars and suchlike.  Yesterday I had shopping and housework, and started preparing for the Praxis test I’m taking in January.  Today, well. . .I’ve already done a load of laundry, run, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, and moved the wrapped Christmas presents to their hiding place in the attic.  (The cat is stuck up there now.  No way am I climbing into the eaves to get him.  Stupid cat.)  I’m heading out to Costco for the first time since moving, dropping off a present at the Post Office, and checking a couple of garden centers to see if they have flats for daughter #1’s science fair project.  Then it’s house cleaning time, but the new house takes a fraction of the time to clean up that the old one did. 

At some point, I have to check the levels in the hot tub, but right now isn’t good.  We have freezing rain pelting down, and the snow earlier this week collapsed the screen house that was over the tub.  It’s not a good hot-tubbing environment, so that’s going to have to wait.  Poor dead screen house.
