The outdoor Halloween decorations have been taken down. I have gotten Katie's new cello strung properly where the string popped by the simple expedient of taking it back to the store. I also paid off her percussion kit while I was there. The cushions have been removed from the chairs on the patio and stored for the winter. I have paid the bills. I have researched Katie's (and Julie's belated) birthday party. I have reviewed some documents that I needed to review today. I have started at least one load of laundry. And the brisket that I bought for dinner is simmering nicely in the oven. So far, so good. More to do!
