Why do I feel good? Well, there are several reasons.
1) I have 5 days off in a row. That's almost unheard of without vacation. I'm trying to use them wisely and get a few things done around the house.
2) I got a big project accomplished today. We have a spare room I use for scrapbooking. The problem is, it often turns into a catchall room and everything gets tossed in it. We are having my whole family here for Thanksgiving and I wanted to get it cleaned out so there would be a room that the little girls could use to play in and maybe watch a DVD.
Here you can see the state it was in before I started:

And here is the finished project. I even cleaned out the closet! Many things were dumped and I took a bunch of things to our local charity. It feels so good to have that accomplished!

After all that cleaning I found this in the mailbox:
