Days often have activity-based themes: yesterday was painting day and today was invitation day. Today would have been painting day, too, except that early-morning rain showers led to a mid-morning phone call cancelling the day's proceedings. Instead of heading back up the ladder with a bucket and trim brush, I ran invitation errands and then hunkered down over a craft mat on the kitchen table and got to it. There were distractions, no doubt - some furry and some electronic - but really I spent all day doing invitations. Whenever there are 60+ of something to be done, with steps repeated that number of times, the task can grow long. It did, but I (then we) soldiered on and now the overall job is nearing completion.
