It’s amazing how much you can get knocked off the ‘to do list’ when you get out of bed at the crack of dawn. Dad had an appointment with his Urologist this morning. Everything is great - all his numbers are good and he doesn’t visit again for another year. Beth took him down to St. Joe’s and I stayed at home with the dogs. I washed floors and cleaned the kitchen. I added the Arne & Carlos sock to the website. Then I started LYS Day printing. I want everything finished by tomorrow. Lynn is working with me on Saturday and when the store closes we are going to get the store set up for LYS Day. I’m going to hit the wall this afternoon but I’m on a roll this morning.
