earlier today, a little before now...

While I type this, am in the process of taking my temperature, and have created a list-of-things-to-do today while home sick. What's interesting is that I began a project that was not on my original list... but I will add it to said list so that I may immediately cross it off.

get security bars for exterior door [edit: will accomplish tomorrow on way home from work ]

pick up chicken soup (or something) from grocery store [edit: didn't have an appetite...oh well ]

rake and/or mulch leaves in yard

make bed w/ flannel sheets... move bed to other wall, unplug/plug in lamps, rearrange bedroom...

clean clutter in kitchen [edit: will accomplish before heading to bed]

remove outside hose, turn off water to spigot... clear spout of water (so it doesn't freeze & expand) [edit: could only do 1/2... turns out the piping for the new furnace i installed last fall is blocking the water pipe shut-off-valve... rats! must call handyman or plumber... yikes. ]

cancel dr. appointment [edit: oops - too late... try tomorrow. Done!]

organize linen closet (so far i've organized sheet sizes, towel sizes, curtains/tablecloths, washcloths, and hand towels... now it's a matter of putting them back into the closet... wish me luck)

...that should be enough time... ah, yes - fever down a bit, but still elevated.... it's nice to be validated w/ a real fever when i've been feeling rather crummy as of late :)
