Over the River and thru the woods...

While driving over the pass on Thursday, the SW finally called me! Thank goodness I'd driven over early to miss the weather. I can't imagine how I would have avoided all the wrecked cars, snow and talked on the phone (there are always wrecked cars if it snows on the passes - people turn to idiots at the first flake).

When I get back, I have the first meeting on wednesday at a coffee shop. Then Friday is the big home visit. I've already got a mental list of things to do... take down the bamboo shades (cords are a child danger); fire extinguisher already purchased; floor scrubbing and kickplate check (I know she won't check, but dog-hair "tumbleweeds" have a habit of hiding under there and blow at the most inopportune moments), can't forget the bathroom ceiling (bad lighting or mold spots?); what to do about the couch? buy cheap fleece blankets and staple to back!; I wish I could mow the lawn... it grows all winter, but it's never dry enough to mow; Breathe on a regular basis.

Happy Christmas to all!
