I took today off work! I am feeling really decadent (well, 300 hours of saved flex time-vacation/sick time combined helps). My boss is aware that I am feeling burnt out, and offered to have someone come in to day so I could have a 3 day weekend! Well, I spent part of it sick with a terrible cold, but I am feeling better today.
I did stuff today that would make me feel productive. I got up early, SO went to work at 7:30 and I started. I made 2 lbs of soap (lemongrass and sage). I went food shopping (needed sudafed and Mucinex, too). Got back and made yogurt because I really need to start doing that regularly again and start eating better. I made myself chicken livers for lunch that I am sharing with my dog, Harley (the helper and vermin buster). Did laundry. Made up more laundry soap.
OK, I am playing on the computer now, while we eat lunch
Still to do: get another round bale out in the pasture before it starts pouring for 2 days.

I always say "playing on the computer" is doing research, at least when I am on this forumvalmom said:I took today off work!

Our floor is done! Yeah! Now I just have to clean up. Haven't taken pictures yet, though. Going to have to do that soon to finish the documentation. I do think I'm going to invest in the cleaner they sell to get the haze off the tiles. Then seal them and done! 
Now I'm off to buy paint to re-paint the tan walls something a bit more interesting. Along with the two hundred other things I want to do today. I took the day off again- we found a pharmacist who used to work with us who is looking to pick up some hours and I have way too many flex time hours so my boss said I could start taking Mondays off. Of course, she has said things like this before and it only lasted a week before there was a reason I couldn't take off. But, this is good while it lasts!

The tiles are done! Grouted, and cleaned.
I bought paint for the room Monday. Of course, perfectionist SO has to putty first. I want it painted and done by the end of this weekend! It will happen.
Check off step one on our 2 year plan. Next up- rip out the bathroom!

I just called the alpaca farm down the road from me. I drive past their sign every time I go to get hay, but never had the time or nerve to stop in. I found their number on the internet and called to see if they sell their fleeces. (they do sell breeding and show stock, but no mention of fleece). They have a couple fawn colored (and maybe a gray) left over from last year, even though they haven't sheared yet this spring. I'm going to look Saturday! WOO HOO! And I get to meet their alpacas I can't wait!
I can't wait!
