So far, I have channeled the intensity into housekeeping. It made for a cheerfully efficient take-off for "The Grand Train" and the house is nearly bachelor safe once more.
It sure is quiet. . .
I tend to procrastinate..a big thing I procrastinate on is filing papers away that I will need for tax time, or future reference. My dad is the paperwork nazi....lol... Very orderly paperwork. My file cabinet is so sloppy, or consists of piles of unsorted papers on my desk. meh.
