Hey, all!
Happy birthday to lucylee!
I turned into a slug Tuesday night and remained so all day yesterday. I thought I had gotten a decent night’s sleep, but I was dragging anyway. I got to bed later than I wanted to last night, yet today, I have some ambition. I went to the store and finally picked up some sugar after dropping DC at school and swung by to get my car’s emissions check on the way home with DC.
That put us starting on the playroom a little late, but once DD had had her lunch, we put half an hour in. Today was cars and Happy Meal-type toys; most of the latter were pitched. The cars got divided into three groups: one set went into the bin for the attic, one set went to the school with DD, and there are some Matchbox cars that DC sent a picture of to a friend who collects such to see if he’d like them. Oh, and we went through a couple of jars of spare parts. We pulled out the game pieces and the obvious hardware; DH will have to look at some of the rest to see if he can identify them.
I need to do a bunch of dishes in the kitchen to make room for making the currant syrup. It’s getting late enough that I might not have time to make the syrup until after dinner; I should see if I’ve got a dinner in the current week’s menu plan that does not create too many dishes!
If I get all that done, I really need to wash a batch of shirts for DH. It’s a job I hate, and boy, have I been procrastinating on it. Well, I guess I’d better stop procrastinating and apply the BGS! See you later, I hope.

and when I drove home, he followed me home to make sure I got there okay. My dmom was a bit suspicious of him being there, but she said that she appreciated him looking out for me on the road at that hour by myself. I'm so glad to hear your dd14 is doing so well. I know how hard it is to volunteer for things like that.
