Busy, busy weeks right now. Every little thing ticked off the list helps make our weeks run more smoothly.

Today I worked on getting papers from my old planner sorted and organized. The new planner started on July 1st. It's been busy catching up with people and appointments these last few weeks. I'm hardly home to get work done. It's been a nice break and change of pace but it's starting to get to me.

I feel the need to have a big old hour of writing out everything on my mind that needs to get done. I find that once it leaves this brain of mine, I feel so much better.

Katrina, how are you doing with the wedding preparations? The wedding is in October, isn't it? Are you happy with the way things are progressing?

Mary, I think things are going well. DD and DFSIL are very sensible and very organised. We have make up and hair trials in the next few weeks and then not too much really until the big day. Yes, you are right, October 21st.
