That's been my motto today. At the office and at home. While we are Pastor-less at church, I am trying to go through files, purge, etc. While we are still Shawn-less, I am trying to get the utility room and basement cleaned out, organized, etc. Also working on Shawn's room...but don't tell him.

Hunker Down…
The government, schools, colleges and most restaurants are closed all around us. I took this opportunity to sleep in a bit after My Man headed out before 5:00 this morning to "man the station" as he says. Aka...pull his shift as crisis guy for the government at some "undisclosed location." Hush-hush and all "I-could-tell-you-but-then-I'd-have-to-kill-you" like.So [...]
