Today was a pretty good day, compared to recent ones. It's a reminder that things do improve. Sending wishes to all in distress or struggling that improvements will come soon.

Our friend gave us a whole bucket of sweet cherries from his property. Tomorrow I have my work cut out for me. I'll keep some for snacking, some to freeze, and some for a traditional Czech cherry sponge cake called "Bublanina" (Bubble cake).

Hubby and I unpacked a lot of books, which we'll finally put in our book shelves. I also told him it's high time to put some art on the walls. Maybe this week we'll make some more progress. Every book was vacuumed. I don't think they needed it, but Hubby insists. He has many habits that seem on the OCD spectrum to me, but has never been diagnosed as such. I don't think he ever saw/sees the behavior as such, so never mentioned it to his pdoc/tdoc in the past. He probably spends the equivalent of $1,200 per year on tissues and wet wipes. It is unbelievable how he uses so many. People in grocery stores used to sometimes comnent on them.
