Coloring Outside the Lines

Pretty much not wanting to write today...

Nothing is coming to mind...

I’ve had a good day.

I colored a picture from The Nashville Coloring Book ... a room inside The Hermitage

I helped Eliza with her Grad Party invitations

We’re ready for the Senior Slide into May 26

Decided to do some specific cleaning today too. I had to hold myself back from running those rabbit trails that inevitably catch me every time...

FOCUS

1. Dust the floors — only dust the floors

✅

2. Mop the floors, nothing else

✅

3. Windex all of the glass surfaces and

mirrors — no dusting furniture instead

🚫 — took a quick detour but got

back on track

4. Wipe down the bathroom counters

🚫🚫 — slipped up big on this

one ... hands and knees,

on the floors, scrubbing

Rather boring topic — cleaning house, but what I did remember is to notice what I was doing. I especially took care to look at the pictures I was cleaning because I needed to make sure that I didn’t spray Windex on any of the paintings...

A trip through time is worth the dust...

Sometimes,

To remember
