Here it is: Monday again! Checking off the morning list includes doing my Yoga stretches, having an Aria "Magic Bullet" protein drink, taking my vitamins, feeding the birds and squirrels, paying a few bills, finish clearing off the HOT SPOT counter in the kitchen and washing a down vest which requires several drying cycles.

I'm grateful that I checked the little calendar book on the kitchen counter. I had wondered if I had scheduled McClain Heating & Cooling to come in for the winter check up of the furnace (s).
This means I have to clean out the closet by the furnace where Knee-Hi, the dog) has her bed set up. And, it means that the furnace that's been "off" at the other end of the house has to be started up. I don't know when the pilot light went off, or what happened.

It's my plan to "curtain off" a major portion of the main house this winter to save on my utility bill. I'm focusing on "budget leaks" and seeing what I can do to minimize "outgo".

And, today, I am hoping to do more writing on "Lois Lessons" a book about my mother.

I wonder about why there are traces of potting soil scattered about. I figure it's Knee-Hi taking a few bites of soil. I saw her do it before. I had thought it was the "outside critters". And, maybe it was the squirrels or raccoon.

I'll check my Freecycle.com site to see if there is anything I can "sort out" to give away today. It's terrific for "moving things out" to people who are willing to drive to my back door for pick-up.

OK. It's almost time to "switch gears" and hearing my Mama saying, "Hop to it!"

ONWARD!
