Day 79 ~ , Today, Tonight and Tomorrow

Tonight I am pondering what I have to share. I feel that I didn't get a whole heck of a lot accomplished today. I spent way too much time in front of this computer screen, but no, I was not mindlessly gazing. It's ominous when one can look back on the hours spent in a day and nothing really significant comes to mind. At least on first thought. Just because I didn't get my basement completely cleared, cleaned and in immaculate condition (I really wanted to at least accomplish the clearing and cleaning, immaculate would be a stretch!), doesn't really mean the complete day was a wash. I just tend to nag on myself when I spend too much time here staring at this monitor.

But I actually had a purpose to the staring . . . I spent some time scanning older photographs. I'm working on a project for Mother's Day. Shhh. Don't tell. Granted, it likely will not be ready by Sunday, but it's a work in progress and our moms are patient! So I started off scanning and of course things started going wrong, one by one. Most of my time with the computer is actually spent putting out fires. I know they are useful and really make us work less, but sometimes I wonder about that. Long story short, the scanning project took a very long time. Then later, Lindsay and I spent some time looking at off-campus housing at BYU-Idaho. We made a decision and then after dinner I was back on again completing the housing agreement and paying the deposit. Seems strange and sad to think of another child gone, so I won't now. Tomorrow is another day.

And here I am again. Today really is 79 days until Greg is home. So if I don't write my blog - I'm officially behind. Seems like I predicted that happening. Oh well! Tomorrow is Greg's and Mark's Pdays or preparation days. So I will be writing emails to both of them. Should I write them tonight or in the morning? I'm thinking now - while I'm already here typing. Tomorrow will be good for cleaning and I can ban myself from the computer (until I blog). Next thing to ponder - should I write one letter to them both like Mike does, or two separate ones? I always opt for the latter - that way I can individualize them and they're more special.

My pictures tonight will be some of the ones I was scanning earlier today.
