Rainy day plans


I've been putting off a lot of stuff all summer, waiting for a socked-in, gloomy, rainy day. We've had a long stretch without rain, except for a couple of showers here and there, so my "things to do" list has grown. While Mother Nature gives the great outdoors a good cleansing, I think I can finally say it's time to do the following:

  • start hanging paintings and photographs.
  • start organizing this office/bedroom
  • start hauling remaining boxes from the garage and shop to their permanent storage area
  • keep reading that good book called A Good Dog
  • work on revisions for my manuscript before Keokee comes calling with their production schedule
  • work on my upcoming story assignments
  • create some more promotion materials for the new book
  • prepare my notes for a presentation at the museum this Thursday. I'm telling fourth graders about big changes I've seen in Sandpoint. Anybody out there that wants to contribute some specifics to help me out. If so, send them my way: that includes schools, roads, businesses, structures, industry, demographics, etc.
  • clean house, clean house, clean house . . . that's always on the schedule
  • watch a little football
  • play on the computer
  • make some raspberry jelly from that last crop of berries at the old place
  • bake some cookies
  • clean the refrigerator
  • do my grocery shopping
That seems like enough to keep me out of trouble. Let it rain, rain, rain. Then, I'll have one more thing to add to the list:
  • gripe about the ugly weather and mourn the loss of sunshine
Have a wonderful Sunday wherever you are!
