jennlkwith nothing new to report, really.
Mum called on Wednesday and we had a nice chat. She's planning a trip to Niagara with my sister. (I was invited, but cannot go due to work - and DC has already asked for that week off, so I *really* can't get that time off.)
BossClerk and I have been sorting files in the basement "dead storage". We've been finding all sorts of things that are either misfiled or "why?" (big glossy handouts describing the pipeline construction from 2008, recruiting information for the 2010 census, 5 copies of the 2017 budget, copies of minutes from adjoining townships dating to 2007, etc). So far, we've sorted out six banker's boxes of papers for recycling, two for the shredder, two bags full of trash (dead paper clips, comb bindings/covers, broken hanging folders), two file boxes full of empty folders and one of empty hanging folders. And we still have eight drawers to go through! (we also filed the contents of the four file boxes on the table so we could work on the table.)
It's beginning to look a bit like spring - the crab apple trees are blooming, the tupelo is just beginning to leaf out, and I think that when the sun comes out later the red-purple lilacs in the front yard will pop. I really need to weed, but the weather's been conspiring against me -- on work days, it's nice outside, on non-work days, it's chilly and/or rainy. Like today - we got over a third of an inch of rain overnight, and it's still damp with occasional showers. Yesterday it was sunny and 70F. foo.
