For some reason, I have been drawn to finishing things that have been on the long term list: Forgotten things, procrastinated things, things that require the kind of attention only a person trapped inside on a winter day can give.

It was a 17th century text of religious meditations. In case you are wondering, I don&#8217;t know why I get myself into these things.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I finished a huge Shutterfly photo book project that I have been working on for 15 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today, Thursday, is my family history day, and I hope to finish transcribing dates to a spreadsheet from an old birthday book kept by my great grandmother. I have had this book for either 2 or 5 years (I forget) with the intent to do this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope I am not the only one who has projects that have been put off for years. To celebrate the week, I am erasing the original to do list and giving myself a star for facing some of those monsters under the bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am having one of those weeks where almost everything I planned to do has slipped off the list.
