I'm doing 32 things
I give up on the past few days. I’ve done bit bit, but nothing that seems to have made a noticeable difference in our house. Today I’m trying to do things that make a noticeable difference. So far: cleaned the stove top.

I had a photo of the boys printed and shipped to her today. While I’m not contacting her directly, she’ll know I was thinking of her and listening last week when she asked for one.
Who knew the there was so little of interest in the newspaper? Most of the highly entertaining things (cattle rustling!) make it onto the TV news, so she already hears about them. She’s not interested in the town budget battles or other local government things (she lives a couple of hours away, so it’s not local for her). I did mail her something last week about a tractor ramming incident, which she enjoyed. I’ve got more pictures to mail to her as well.
