Beautiful Morning

Well, it is warming up a bit here – it’s up to 18 at the moment. I woke up about 4:15 but didn’t get up until around 7. I napped and did some writing and reading. But about 7 I remembered that my trash was by the back door instead of out in the alley and it’s trash day.

Why? Well, to keep people from rooting through it. There aren’t any cans in it – I recycle those – but there is something incredibly fascinating about my trash to someone. I understand why celebrities hate it when people go through their trash. I hate it and it’s not like someone is going to print the contents of it in one of those trashy tabloids at the check out line.

I’ve got a red velvet cake in the oven. I was debating heading out to the Dutch Kitchen for breakfast but decided I should cook instead. I’m on track with everything but I will need to be busy today to stay on track. I have a few cleaning things to do yet, and a tiny bit of finishing on decorating but overall things are in decent shape.

Of course, my office door will be closed. It’s always a disaster. It’s a wonder my fingers have not been crushed by the stuff piled on either side of the keyboard crashing down on them at some inopportune moment.

Besides, the office is my more private room downstairs – it’s where I spend a lot of time and where I do a lot of my thinking, planning, organizing. I’m starting to feel more private about such areas – not sure why, but I am.
