I need to clean my porch, dining room, more in the kitchen, bedroom, wash more clothes, cook dinner, lay out clothes for Troy's ROTC Promotion Ceremony, go by the bank, go by CVS, eat some lunch ... but at least, I can look back and see I have got a lot done so far. Much more to do and the rest will still be there tomorrow!!! :-)
