Just begin! as Dee used to say.
I slept in a bit - until 8 a.m. but have been busy. Won't make crossroads of the day but I'm closer that most days, lol. I'm having breakfast now, then need to finish kitchen clean up (island where I've been working on tax return) and walk ddog. It's nice out - she's been outside in the yard twice so I'm taking my sweet time.
Early yesterday evening I wrote, but didn't post:
LOL, Nancy on the dresser. How wonderful to have the dresser with your FIL's signature and date to pass down to your dd.
bw2, I wouldn't fault you for letting the photos etc. go. To our grandparent and parents, photos were rare and valuable. The camera, film, and developing were expensive so they considered them treasures. In the sixties anyone could take photos and our cache of printed photos exploded. In the nineties were were all "memory keeping" putting the best into scrapbooks. Now we all have guilt that these things that our ancestors valued and treasured are a burden because we have so darn many of them. I have no advice because I have a bookcase and a half of accumulated photos, etc. I need a plan to sort, digitize, and discard but it's too overwhelming. BTW, I watched a webinar the other day that introduced using AI for photo. He demonstrated photo analysis by giving prompts and getting an analysis back. And demonstrated using it for facial recognition.
But alas, one must first sort and digitize them. I literally "rested on my laurels" this afternoon by taking a nap. I was cold, and had the donwannas. I ordered myself a pizza for supper. We don't do that anymore because of dh's diabetes so I'm enjoying it solo while he's away.
I think we're ending up with a small refund on the tax return. I was anticipating filing an extension and leaving it for after our return but dh mentioned doing an estimate to see where we stood, and I might as well do it, if I'm estimating. I need a couple of things from him, so we'll finalize it this weekend.
Cool and breezy also here, Lucylee. One reason to nap for me is to get my feet and hands warm.
Tomorrow I only have my workout then I'm free of workouts until 23 April, lol. I have at least five errands to run, would be nice to get them done tomorrow too. /end of yesterday's post
