Every year about this time I come to the conclusion that it is time to start my yearly session of accounting for our rental properties. It usually takes me a couple weeks of working up to it before I finally make a start. So today I started with the first step of compiling all the papers and sorting through receipts. It's a real pain because we store our filing box under the bed so it's not readily accessible.....and as they say "out of site, out of mind". But now that I am started, things should progress fairly quickly.

Today I also ended up with 3 sewing projects for other people, a seam split on a shirt, the seat split out of a pair of pants and a top to be shortened. The first two went fine the third was another matter. I decided to haul my serger out as the fabric on the top was a knit and would easily fray. I just could not get the darn thing threaded so after a bit of a struggle I gave up and went outside for a while. I wasn't enjoying myself because I kept thinking about the unfinished top back in the trailer. Finally I gave up again on relaxing and gave the machine one more try. It just was not working so I finally hopped into the truck and drove to Wal-Mart to pick up some seam binding and went that route instead. It actually turned out better than if I had done it the other way.

When I finished the top I told Colin I would cut his hair and that made him very happy. After that I vacuumed up the sewing mess and the hair cut mess all at once. Colin decided he was making dinner which in his books usually means we are going out. We went to Panjo's Pizza and ordered their "The Works Pizza" ......which was I think one of the better pizzas I have had in a long time. When we got home we watched a movie and then went to bed.
