Holy Mary, mother of mirth. We got nearly everything on the Thinks list done. Haven’t yet washed cupboards, and we’re not going to a movie because it sounds like too much work, and I forgot to get boxes at the store so no packing for the PO, but everything else plus a few things. Like: Ted got stuck at work for lnonger than expected, so after I opened my SEP-IRA (which was ridiculously easy), I went shopping (!) and bought a very cute new lil’ jeans jacket.
