Yesterday was actually a very productive day thanks to the rain. I stayed in most of the day and successfully conquered some very tedious tasks.

First on the agenda was sorting through paperwork. How could so much have accumulated over the months I’ve spent here? Why on earth did I have so many photocopies and save so many receipts? They’re all in the trash now.

Next was books. Coloring books with only a handful of pages completed. Books I’ve read and reread so it’s time to pass them along.

Community Cupboard is a thrift store here in Leavenworth. I’d already begun to fill a box with clothes I no longer wear. The books will make a great addition.

Empty file folders and binders are now in the box as well, as are an assortment of rulers, reinforcements and other miscellaneous stationary supplies.

Lastly I had to sort through cards and photos. I’m definitely not as sentimental as I once was which is a good thing.

But I am keeping all of my completed artwork. I was delighted to find my pastels and hope to make use of them again soon. Thanks to Amazon I have a new set of gel pens and a Thomas Kinkade coloring book.

The forecast is for clearing skies and sun today. I’m more than ready for an adventure in Wenatchee after a day of tedious tasks.
