somehow I missed it...

I guess Saturday was me...
I did get 2 hours of editing time in before getting down to the business of cleaning the bedroom...the drawers and closet to be specific. Still a little clutter on the dresser to go, some dusting, and digging the trunk out of the closet to see what the heck is in there...but I hurt to much for that today. Gonna settle for a few more hours of editing and then hauling the donation stuff to the garage until Hospice is open next weekend and moving the sacks of trash out so they're not in the living room.

itsanonyx, I think you are up for Sunday...so good luck!
