On Monday morning I got started on the bills/budget. The credit card was a mess from Christmas and it took all morning to sort out. I got the checkbook balanced and by 1PM I’d had enough.

I got a load in the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen, and got my bed changed. I’d hoped to start laundry, but I just wasn’t up to it.

I had cancelled out of exercise class and the afternoon event at the Senior center. Mostly I kept the fires going as it was cold and raw.

In the afternoon the snow started and I swept the walks and steps and fed the birds.
I was in bed by 8:30PM.

On Tuesday I have to shower, clean up the kitchen, work on bills/budget, and my helper friend arrives at 9:30AM. I will feed the house plants with his help. He has errands to run and some chores. If there’s time we might tackle a shelf in the clean room.

So another boring busy day on the farm…
