I haven&#8217;t looked up the official rules in awhile. I think it was intended to be written long-hand but I&#8217;m ignoring that rule. I&#8217;m such a rebel that way. This morning I&#8217;m too tired for long-hand.<\/p>\n<p>My brother is coming over. So I got up early, even before the alarm clock went off. I scurried around to tidy up. Does anyone else have a brother who is actually tidier than they are? Not that I don&#8217;t like things tidy, I just keep putting off the actual doing of the tidying. Anyway, I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, got boots straighted at the door, made coffee, moved a pile of books, and assorted other stuff that keeps sounding pretty lame as I&#8217;m writing this list. Why do I now feel tired?<\/p>\n<p>I felt pretty perky when I woke up. I began planning my day. Planning what I would write here. Then I began working, got dressed, stuck my hair out of my face. Now, I&#8217;m just waiting for Graham to get here, the men who are coming to photograph the renovations to the basement and the other men (I&#8217;m only presuming they are men) who will be picking up the bag of clothing for donations which I also scurried around with this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know how creative you need to be to have an X on a plastic garbage bag? You can&#8217;t draw it on with marker. I&#8217;ve been there before. I picked cardboard from a piece of junkmail out of the recycling and cut an X out of it. Then I taped it to the bag. Now, I&#8217;m not sure if they said to leave the bag at the end of the driveway or not. I don&#8217;t want it picked up as garbage. No, it&#8217;s not garbage day but there are a lot of people who come along and look through anything put out here. I think they mainly want glass and such which they can get paid for. Still, that bag is out there for a purpose and &#8211; I don&#8217;t want them phoning me to complain that I had nothing to pick up when I said it would be there.<\/p>\n<p>I have this thing where I feel at fault for everything already. I don&#8217;t need more.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the man is here to do the photos. My brother is here showing him the basement so I can have my coffee like a good working zombie. Maybe I can have a nap later, if I&#8217;m sneaky about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2012\/welcome-to-the-day\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to Welcome to the Day\"><p>I&#8217;m going to try writing Morning Pages (again).
