So in the midst of Saturday Conference, yesterday was a pretty busy day for me. Because there's all these things you're supposed to do every 6 months or so to get ready for the upcoming season, etc. So I made myself a checklist, and boy, did I get plenty done.
1. I changed the furnace filter. This is something I try to do every month anyway, but since it's been 60 degrees the last few days, it's a good thing to do for getting ready to turn on the heater.
2. Pulled up the last of the summer plants (which really the only ones left were the pepper plants), and brought the flowers and world's most humongous aloe vera inside to winter over.
3. Mostly cleaned the house - 2 toilets, 2 bathroom sinks and mirrors, and all the glass table tops. I even cleaned the upstairs windows and casings.
4. Refreshed the water storage, and brought it all inside. This meant lugging umpteen 2-liter bottles of water up to the kitchen, then emptying it all and refilling it. Plus I cleaned the storage bin that I keep it all in. Then I made space for it in a downstairs closet.
5. Refreshed the 72-hour kit. I took out all the food stuffs that let's just say had not been refreshed in quite some time, and replaced it all with new. This meant a trip to WalMart to buy instant oatmeal packets, instant soup packets, instant cocoa packets, various varieties of granola bars and jerky, among other items. I also have enough left over that I can make a little kit to keep in the car.
