Feeling Productive. . .

I guess the positive thing about Gloria's illness is that I'm healthy and she's a pretty good patient so I've had some much needed time at home for the last couple of days.  I spent New Year's Day taking down all of the Christmas decorations and cleaning and washing everything in the house in an attempt to banish these nasty germs for good.  I also managed to find the time to play the guitar, spent an hour on the treadmill, used my Kohls gift card from Tony on a new pair of running shoes (Thanks Tony!) and even updated (back-dated?) my blog.  I posted retroactively so here are the links:

All of the Christmas stuff is packed up and put away (in the garage, at least!).  My walls once again are (nearly) bare and my counters are empty except for a few candles and a Poinsetta.  Gloria would prefer things on the wall and fun little knick knacks set around, here and there, but I learned a LONG time ago that those things require dusting and I'd rather spend my time on other things.  I know it won't last but for this moment I'm enjoying a clean, warm house!!
