I ignored my list from 7:30 through 10am this morning because I really just needed a mental health break, but am still doing so well! The things that remain on my list are to wrap presents for a certain someone (I was going to do that today, but Charlie decided to sleep on top of the plastic tub where the presents are located, so I had to work on two other To Do List items instead), set up my new Fitbit, and unpack from the Harry Potter Christmas party (unpacked 3 of the 5 boxes so far).

If the discoloration on the cement is just grime (like, it's black or greenish colored), then power washing will fix it and Bill's already said he'll do it for you. (He likes using the power washer.) You just need a hose connection nearby, and it would have to be a day when it's fairly warm (at least in the 50s).

Thank you again for taking care of my little monsters. Bill says they broke the trivet (the wooden teapot) before in the exact same place, so it's not a huge surprise. I don't even know how they got to it because it's usually by the toaster oven behind some other stuff.
