Yesterday I had such lofty plans. I was going to write a lot and of course connect a lot, get some reading in, and do some beading. Guess what happened...I didn't get it all in. Yesterday I made reference to a quote about making God laugh when you tell him your plans. Well, I much have been psychic at that moment in time. I could hear him clearly laughing all the way in Florida. I got a little writing and connecting when all heck broke loose. My sister-in-law called with a little problem. Actually, I am understating the problem just a wee bit. He septic stopped up and backed into her bathrooms and kitchen. My husband being Mr. Handy ran over to her house to see what he could do to help. My sister-in-law, who could stand the smell, and her three dogs came here to my house. Needless to say, it became quite an active place here. Anyway, as I said, the best laid plans and all that went right out the window. So, guess what I am going to try to do today. Everything I didn't get to yesterday. It's a beautiful cool day out with an abundance so I will be outside with my laptop, hopefully, writing and connecting. I hope to later find a quite spot to do a little reading. Plus, I can forget the jewelry set I still have to make and get out in the mail. Wish me luck. What does the day potentially hold for you today?

My day potentially looks like this: myLot, Scarred, Freedom's Cry, take a nap - didn't get as much as I needed, play a game, finish watching the movie I started yesterday - it's in three parts and no it isn't Lord of the Rings. If I have time with all that, there's some chores begging for my attention. I'm sorry your plans were upset yesterday, but there was a good reason. I hope you're able to accomplish everything today.

@HazySue I almost forgot it was Sunday and the series I love started up again tonight and I wasn't disappointed. I got three chapters taken care of on Scarred and sent them to someone who's also reading it for me. I'm on my second round of myLot, and then I need to get Freedom's Cry worked on. That has been my day so far.

What a horrible job, poor your husband. I can imagine that your day has been a bit disrupted.

@HazySue I agree, it's not something that everybody would like to do.

@LadyDuck my husband is a treasure. Anyone who will help with the septic is a wonderful person.

I know the feeling! Well it's good you helped out your sister in law, even though you had to put your plans on hold. Hopefully today you'll get in all of today's plans! Today we have kept things open - no plans, which is rare for us. So hopefully we will have a kick back day without any hiccups!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend no matter what!

It doesn't take much sometimes to throw plans out the window, does it? Hope the septic issue is resolved. That sounds nasty.

@JudyEv it was nasty. Fortunately it has been taken care of and is working great.

Yikes, that was an ordeal for all concerned! Hope today lets you get to your plans. Yesterday was quite productive for me and I am hoping to continue being productive today. But that means getting away from myLot. I want to do some painting. I have paperwork to send in for a mystery shop and I have an untidy house!

@paigea sometimes we have to forgo our pleasures to accomplish our duties. Good luck in accomplishing your must do list.

@HazySue does one or two things count? Can't seem to get motivated today!
