Suddenly Sunday

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Well my plan was to get about 300 words on 4 things today... I got... 331 words on one thing. But it was also a busy day (plus I dosed off in my chair for a bit...)

I also had to do my Saturday chores since we were gone all day yesterday (thanks, skargasm for swapping with me.) It was an interesting trip to the Center for Justice. I didn't learn anything new, but all of the personal information was fascinating. I walked a ton among other things so I was exhausted by the time I got home.

So yes, Saturday chores today in addition to my regular Sunday chores plus we had our neighbor over for dinner. Her mom passed away Friday and we wanted her to have some company.

But I got words in and hopefully I'll get more this week! On to flipflop_diva for tomorrow. Enjoy your week!
