Gray Skies

But warmish. It's getting up into the 50s (F) every day and today we turned the heat off in the house for the first time in ages. I'll probabaly turn it on again when we go to bed (set to 65 F) in case it dips down overnight but it's nice to be able to turn it off. Our house is old and there are drafts, so it can get chilly even with the heat on. And today it's not! Hurray!

Still playing paper jenga - I suspect I will for awhile since I'm doing it in bits and pieces as the work day allows. I have some ongoing crochet and cross stitch projects that I haven't picked up for a couple weeks and I miss them, so hopefully I can get to those this weekend. I really want to keep attacking my paper pile-up though, even at the expense of needlework time, because I've made headway before then got distracted and never finished - and of course it builds up again. Getting down to 0 - everything filed, recycled, or shredded - is my goal. I have the storage space (mail sorter and filing cabinet) to keep it up, it's just a matter of getting there. I actually have way more paper than old junk mail. I used to tear out photos from magazines and keep them. I did it for years so I have so many of them but I've completely quit now that I have a Pinterest account. After I finish the mail, I want to go through my clippings and see if there's anything I really need to keep. They're photos of bedrooms and bathrooms and kitchens and hairstyles - stuff like that. Stuff that Pinterest was made for, literally.
