Saturday & Sunday count as mild successes.  I had been wanting to clean the hardwood floors for weeks now but finally got around to actually doing it.  Saturday morning I did make it out to the chiropractor and he fixed my cursed shoulder and then I went about undoing his grand work by moving furniture and mopping for three and half hours.  So things did look about like this for half the day:

I know that I really need to get over this owl thing, and I don't want to be one of those people that has a house little stuffed with owl trinkets, but he was just too precious I couldn't pass him up.  Also I found him in the Halloween section at Hobby Lobby of all places?   

Well, here's hoping I get my stress under control this week.  Hope you had a great weekend!
