Happy Canada Day!

It seems really odd that it's already July. June just flew by in a flash!! We didn't do anything particularly patriotic today (which is okay because Canadians are not really overly/outwardly patriotic folks by nature anyway). We did go out for breakfast though, with the LOG. I ate way more than I should have but we skipped lunch so it all balanced itself out in the end.

The reorganization project continued today. We got the computer desks moved around and it looks really great in our office. There are still lots of unsorted boxes of stuff on shelves behind us but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, finally. Now when I look at the shelves, about half of the stuff is neatly stowed away in plastic tote bins (of course, the other half of the stuff is in cardboard boxes or just piled up). Considering that when we moved into this house, we had two bedrooms full of boxes, to have it down to a couple of shelves worth is a huge feat for us. Our office job was a lot easier to get through that we'd thought it might. One of the biggest part of this job was taking all of our computers apart and labeling all the wires and cables. Now that we know exactly what everything is, it made putting everything back together so much easier (our computers are hooked up to the television in our bedroom so there was a lot of video and audio stuff happening).

It was kind of good that we had this indoors project to work on today because the weather was kind of crappy. It got really muggy and cloudy this afternoon. During dinner, we had a huge thunderstorm with heavy rain. Some areas are supposed to be getting hail but we seemed to have missed out on that (thankfully).

Tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll get into the garden and get a few things cleaned up and sorted out. After that, the weekend should be peaceful. Last week I pulled out a bunch of magazines to read this week, I've not touched them yet. I also picked up a copy of the Clinton book and haven't opened it. Oh well, hopefully I'll more time over the rest of the summer now that these big jobs are out of the way. As I've been saying all week, this busy stuff has helped to keep me out of the pantry and that's definitely a great thing!!
