Rainy Sunday

It has literally rained all day long. I don't think there has been five minutes that there hasn't been rain. The ground outside is soaking wet and everything is just yuck. It's a good thing we went out yesterday! Usually, when it's raining on a Sunday we'll find some direction that we can drive in to get out of the rain. Nope. Not today. It's all over our part of the state of Michigan. I suppose it could be worse and be snow! It's really only a few degrees of temperature difference. Right now it's only 38F/3C  (feels like 29F/-2C). It's supposed to keep raining through 3am. I am hoping it will be gone by the morning so I can get out for a walk! I'm feeling a little cooped up as I didn't go anywhere today. 

I was pretty lazy this morning. I did do a bit of tidying, got up in the craft room for a bit, read a few of those magazines that are sitting on the floor and did a bit of packaging up a few bits for shipping. My older son (who lives here) did a bit of clearing out (at last!) and there were a few bits and pieces that I was able to get rid of. He had a few games he was getting rid of that I need to check out whether they are worth selling or would be better off donating. 

Middle son came over with his girlfriend. They went to have a look around the areas that he was interested in renting to see what shops and things were in the areas. We have another viewing on Tuesday. Fingers crossed. Decisions will be made by the end of the week. 

I've got decisions to make too. I have plans for next year that I need to actually knuckle down and accomplish. I am going to document them, so I am holding myself accountable. That might have to be my word of the year next year! I really struggle with staying on track. I am finding that writing lists helps, so maybe if I write accountability lists that will help too. More to come!

It's the Weekend...well, almost

Friday night. Another dismal day. The forecast last night didn't look too bad, well not bad temps and the clouds, well, there are always more cloudy days than sunny ones at this time of year. I got up with the alarm, bounced got out of bed, had a bit of caffeine before dressing and heading out. It still looked really dark out. I opened the back door and well, heard the patter of a steady rain. I looked at the forecast on my phone and on the computer. No rain in sight. So 'they' said. Ok, maybe it was just a blip. I got dressed and headed out. It was a bit drizzly, but no rain, right? 

I got wet on my walk. It was horrible. Luckily, my raincoat was in the car and I had the good sense to put it on. My friend did show up for the walk and we managed once around the park. We had a good natter, didn't see many people (or birds for that matter!). There weren't many people around - a bonus! At least I got out for a walk, right? 

Everything just looks so dismal. 

This afternoon I chatted with my sister and I started sorting DVDs. Both my sons were around so I checked with them and husband about the DVDs and there is a pile ready to donate. There are a few I might stick on Ebay (just for a month) and see if there are any sales. Those are the ones that aren't on streaming services and are hard to find. I'll give you a count on donations tomorrow. There is quite a pile! I have sorted a few I want to watch once more before donating too. The bad thing is the DVD player has gone bad (well, it's been broken for a while) so I've ordered a new one. This is a 2-in-1 that plays both US DVDs and UK ones so I'll be able to get rid of the other player too. I think there has to be a limited on how long some of the other DVDs stay around. 

Tomorrow - it's supposed to be cloudy again (I miss the sunshine!) - but hopefully it won't be drizzly and I can get out for a walk. 

Do you have plans for the weekend? 

Do you have a lot of DVDs or have you got rid of them all?
