Happy Monday Friends!

…but wait, there’s more! It’s Make my list Monday! Who’s with me? Since I have one more week before I can go back to work, this week’s rendition is called:

Meri’s final week of freedom menial tasks and crafts (a bit wordy, I know)

• Get car fixed (the doors stopped locking, the windows won’t go down, the engine misfires when it rains… its time.)
• Mooooore crafts (it has to do with paper flowers, contact paper, card making, and more). It’s very soothing for me when I feel lazy.
• Girls afternoon of bonding with my mom and sisters
• New reads (finished The Paris Wife. It was very good,but depressing I’ll admit)
• Pick up prescription- Done! Gold star for me!
• Writing (I polished off a personal essay and two short stories this week! Triple Gold Star!)
• Check for mail/ packages on the hour, every hour, after last weeks Columbus Day Sales online shopping binge…
• Try to make any sense of outlandish hospital bill/ insurance mailings. Urgghh. I might need a whiskey with that.
