Dark Roast and ...Detritus

Good morning....Happy Weekend!!!

My week was good, but long and a little stressful. Grades were due and NHS no-letters went out Thursday; yes-letters followed Friday. At 2:30 yesterday, a Friday afternoon, one of our incompetent guidance counselors called to get information about a non-acceptance decision that a parent was questioning. I left right after that.

I just got up a little while ago (meaning I let myself sleep in), I made my coffee, and now I've settled down at the computer to write for a while before tackling some house projects ...that I'm actually excited about! Yesterday morning I looked around and thought there's got to be a better way to keep my house clean for more than three days at a time....I realized I could use some more storage space, but that would mean cleaning out unnecessary clutter that is currently taking up all my storage space. Case in point: a laundry basket (tall one, shaped more like a garbage pail) in one of my downstairs closets that has been full since I moved here!! Clearly, it was full of clothes I no longer wear or towels I no longer use, right? Wouldn't you know that's exactly what I found--after I got home last night with new shelving for said closet. Last night I got as far as emptying the closet of all its content and putting together the shelves and getting them there; my hallway is still littered with the detritus. That's project number one. When I'm done I think I'll go to the gym, beyond that I haven't decided plans.
 
I have an invite to D's where she'll be getting together with old high school friends tonight, whom I know from our summer vacations, but I'm not sure if I'll make it over. Monday night I'm picking her up and we're going to L's to sleep over so that Tuesday we'll be closer to her cancer hospital where we have to report at 8:30 for her day of chemo. I probably should go to her impromptu party tonight--so I can spend some time with her relaxed and having fun-- before spending what may be a dreadful day, but I'm not sure how the day will play out.
 
For now I'm totally enjoying this coffee (I decided to go with the TJs "Joe --Dark Roast" this time) (did I tell you C and I went to the TJs near Boston after school Thursday? We had dinner at Legal's and then shopped...got home 9ish. It was fun.). And being at my keyboard.
 
Hope you have a good day in store and good weather in your forecast.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you--call if you want.
 
Love you,
B
