Today was the first day of my new schedule that has me accomplishing a multitude of things each week. Today was the first day I went off schedule. Between Destini calling at 7:00 am because Sean's car wouldn't start and my scheduled task of unpacking the boxes that were packed for Nova Scotia, some things did not get done. They have already been scheduled for later in the week. I can see this is going to go well. The problem with unpacking is that I come upon so many of my favourite things and so many more things I had almost forgotten. It is a task that cannot be accomplished quickly so it doesn't fit well into half hour blocks... unless I use a whole bunch of those blocks up all at once! Today I unpacked my mom's buttons. I knew what was in the tin as soon as I saw it. I can't remember a time when she didn't have this tin full of buttons. I can't remember a time when they didn't come in handy and I do remember that when I was young, she would let me play with them. I would spill the tin out onto the table and sort them by colour, then polish the shiny ones. There are still some very cool buttons left in that tin. I was just feeling happy to have found the tin so the buttons were a huge bonus.
