Lots of Unanticipated Accomplishments

I woke up this morning with initial plans to go to Joann Fabrics and purchase some silver metal buttons for my new gray coat and a round tipped set of jewelry pliers.  I then somehow became fixed on the idea of getting a newer chest freezer.  Internet exploration produced the information that a good sized chest freezer was on sale at Lowes.  I purchased it online and proceeded to finish my morning routine of prayer, exercise while listening to scripture, and making my bed.  Then I published both the e-mail version and the paper version of the newsletter for UVAG.  I took a couple of coats to Lucinda's house and after she turned them down I asked Adam to come with me on a run to Lowes, Joann Fabrics, the transfer station, Home Depot, and then to Lowes to return a plumbing part that didn't meet out needs.  Adam helped me put an old apartment sized refrigerator and my dishwasher in the back of the car after unboxing the new freezer.  We took the box along with other boxes I have accumulated to the dump.  I realized I could put the new freezer in my kitchen in place of the dishwasher with a bit of carpentry work.  I framed the print I made for Marge and took it along with me as well as taking my new coat, some thread and the new buttons.  They really improve the look of the coat.  While visiting with Marge I decided to stop at Smith's for more groceries for the Christmas feast along with getting gas.  I was able to save 75 cents a gallon on what was nearly a full tank.  Tomorrow I plan to make an apricot, almond cake for the Christmas Feast.  Jing contributed a boneless leg of lamb.  I will also cut the counter and do some carpentry to provide enough space for the freezer which will have its top exposed under my new plan.  It is fun to go off in a new direction and have things work out quite well.
