My Plans For Today

I've taken vacation starting today. My mother left her dogs inside because it was quite wet this morning, and asked that I go over to her house and let them out. Other than that, this day is intended to be free so that nothing interferes with preparing to shop for knives this evening.

I have a list 13 people who have requested knives -- for the most part, the number of knives that people have requested has been small, which is a good thing for keeping things straight. When I get back from Mom's house, I intend to post the list, so that if I've missed anything, you can let me know. Anyone who doesn't want their request posted -- I don't see anything to be ashamed of, but sometimes people are just private -- let me know within the next half-hour.

Basically, unless I get motivated enough to fill out my taxes (which I currently plan to put off until Sunday) I've got a couple of taped shows and daytime TV to hold my attention. That's why I expect to leave my house by 4:00, even though that probably leaves me sitting in the parking lot for a couple hours (Note to self: remember to take a book). Last Fall, since I was there so early, I helped the crew unload their truck. Since that's my purpose for this day, I'd rather be early than late because of road construction or some other traffic issue, so consider me no longer reachable online by 3:30 EST.
