Chota mota for Monday

I wanted to start the week off with a bang, as I have been reading some interesting things over the weekend that got me thinking deep thoughts -- but my head isn't up to any bangs, today, so I think I'll stick with chota mota and do deep thinking and sharing another day. ;-)

My weekend was good! It was nice to be with family and friends. My cold hasn't been too bad on the scale of worse colds ever, though it does disturb my sleep at night, and gives me fits in my sinuses. Which is why I have the head problem today.

I'm trying to do cleaning and packing at the same time today, though somehow I keep doing one exclusively and not the other. What happened to my former great skill in multi-tasking?

This afternoon I'm going with DH to look at bathroom stuff. Tile, toilets, tubs, -- you name it, we're going to look at it. We hope to make some choices today of what we want in the new bathroom, so Hubby can know what he is working towards as he tears out the old in preparation for the new.

Come to think of it, maybe I'll share one of the cool things I read this weekend, for you all to ponder for the rest of the day.

WHAT REALLY COUNTS in life is that at some time you have seen something, felt something, which is so great, so matchless, that everything else is nothing by comparison, that even if you forgot everything, you would never forget this.
-- Søren Kierkegaard, Journals and Papers
 
May you all be encouraged as you are reminded of something that counts and is unforgettable, or as you make up your mind to look for something like that in your life today!

That quote reminds me of "Dungeon Grates."

I love selecting new house stuff! It will be fun to imagine what your new bathroom will look like while you shop!

I am glad this cold has been pretty managable and hasn't kept you down!

The shopping was long, and my brain got muddled, but we have some ideas. Now we will probably have to go stand in the ripped out bathroom and imagine, in order to be able to choose. It's so small, I think we might just keep it simple, and get fancier on the brand new one we are planning one day for the basement. ;-)

I'm feeling good today!!

Yayyy for feeling good!

That's a wonderful quote too. Here's hoping your head clears, your nose unstuffs, and you can multitask again!

Thanks, love! I'm feeling pretty much better and I might even be able to manage that multitasking today!

I hope you are feeling fit as well, dear one.

I did get your email, and I am very happy it all worked out just perfectly! I was hoping my note would come today, and it did.

(((Hugs)))

a great quote! ((Lin))

It may be easy to say,however it is not easily done.
Perhaps you are cleaning?? more than packing.If so you are worried about
homesickness. No matter how you feel about your old home,you will miss the part that was you and your family while there. It is only natural,blessings and happiness in your new home!
