It&#8217;s a 500 page document that is putting my translation, proofreading, and coding skills to the test. I have to deliver the final product on Monday. It&#8217;s going to be a busy weekend!<\/p>\n<p>Before starting on that, I did two flier routes. Doing the fliers is now a joy. My body has adapted to the exercise, I&#8217;ve mastered the most efficient way to do them, and except for one day I&#8217;ve always had perfect weather to do them. The money is such a joke, but I really am being paid to get some fresh air and exercise so doing them is most definitely worth my time.<\/p>\n<p>I came back in for lunch and to start the laundry. I decided that I might as well do a marathon day of it and do ALL my bedding, towels, and clothes. I stopped counting loads at six&#8230; I worked on my project between loads and when the end of the laundry was in sight I headed out to do the last of my flier routes.<\/p>\n<p>It was almost five when I came back in so I switched over some laundry and then made a nice dinner with the last of the salmon I bought in Oregon! YUM. The laundry was all done by the time I finished dinner so I decided to burn a few more calories by making the beds.<\/p>\n<p>The bed in the back was cat-free, so I started on it. Of course, by the time I&#8217;d laid the bottom sheet down I suddenly had two cats to contend with. They weren&#8217;t happy when I made them move so I could add the covers, but I finally got it done. They flopped down as though they&#8217;d been the ones running around like mad all day so I figured I&#8217;d be able to do the loft bed in peace. HA. I&#8217;d no sooner gotten the sheets in place than Neelix was insisting on helping me!<\/p>\n<p>By the time the laundry was dealt with and the dinner dishes done, I decided I&#8217;d earned an ice cream so I went to the convenience store across the street to get one!<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll put in a couple more hours of work before curling up with the novel I started the other night. Might as well get a head start on the mammoth project; I suspect it&#8217;s going to be a race to the finish line!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t have much planned for today, just a bit of laundry and finishing up my flier routes for the week.
