January 17 and I've finally gotten the Christmas decorations down. Things have been pretty hectic so I haven't had a lot of free time since the end of the year -- or, at least, free time when I wasn't sleeping. I slept a lot again over the weekend and felt pretty energized when I got up today. Jeff left early this morning for work in Minnesota and it was snowing pretty hard so I cancelled the one appointment I had for today (plasma donation) and kept my eye on the goal of getting as much done as possible. Three cans of diet Coke helped and I got all of the decorations down, boxed up, and ready to put away. While I went along, I also cleaned the house so I'm pretty happy with the day as a whole.
I went out to clean the pretty heavy accumulation from the driveway earlier, planning to take an hour or so to do it and the sidewalk with the shovel. I just can't use our snow blower -- maybe I need to practice, but I have never been able to manage it. Anyway, I had barely started when our neighbor came along with his snow blower and did it for me. Somehow, I twisted my knee this weekend, so I really appreciated the help with the snow. I'm going to bake some cookies and take them over tomorrow as a thank you.
Now, Jeff will have to deal with putting away the Christmas tree and the boxes that need to go above the garage. Then we should be set for a while. Feels pretty good.
