As I left church this morning, the weather was (for once) just beginning to follow last night’s forecast… The sun was clearing, the temperature was rising, and I was headed for Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters to pick up a cup of Jamaican blend. About a thousand different ways to spend the day ran through my head – hence the title of this post. I went with #608.

Unfinished projects are very low on my list of “things that make me feel good about my life,” so finding one to finish was a high priority. The sun helped out there – over the past few months, the clouds have muddied up the light on most of my days off, keeping me from finishing the great “let’s replace all the light switches and electric jacks in the house” project. Seriously, the work is desperately needed – but awfully hard to do without some natural light to work by!

My triumph for today? Knocking off another two rooms from “pending” to “done”. Our family room now has nice new decora switches, and jacks that plugs don’t fall out of! The office has a nice simple new switch (as opposed to the motion detector that never worked) and the front lights are now controlled by a snazzy new digital timer wallswitch. Thank you, Leviton!

After an afternoon of enjoying the sunlight, sampling new music, playing with the cat and doing a bunch of other things that life hasn’t had room for in months, I headed out to Tooley’s furniture. Why? To buy a pair of shaker tables to use as desks in our new office. It was a good day to do things better-not-put-off.

In 4 weeks, hopefully I’ll be typing from a new office that can finally be called “done”!
