Week Eighteen Day 4 November 2009

I didn't get as much done today as I hoped; but any progress is, after all, progress.
I slept late, and dawdled too much this morning. The only things I got done were some dishes (polished more silver). I picked up Andrea and took her to a dentist appointment. After that we went to Dollar Tree for some supplies, and a trip to Wal-Mart for groceries (OK, I admit - also got some very small silver ornaments to put on the tiny black tree!).
When we got here we had lunch, and then went outside. After days and days of gray drizzle, today was gorgeous! Today the pump for the coy pond got totally cleaned and the filter replaced ... Yay! Fountain again! We went out to the barn and got all the new (still boxed) trees, and some other decor stuff ... only thing left in the barn (Christmas) is the super big tree and the tree for on the porch. Hopefully by Thursday we can tackle those.
We got the boxes of lights from upstairs and started sorting those. What fun that was! I had bought a lot of new lights last year at after Christmas sales, and had forgotten what I had. With what lights we have in mind, we came up with a plan for outside. We also visited briefly with my neighbor, and enlisted his tentative help for Thursday to get the outside lights put up.
I took Andrea home to fix dinner for her guys tonight. I have a load of laundry in the dryer, some boxes all ready to go to the post office in the morning, and am now settled in for a couple of my favorite shows! :)
