SHALL SEE

HAD A ROUGH TIME getting started Saturday as I guess the day before was just too demanding for me.  Staying in my housecoat and messy do most of the day seemed less glamorous than I wanted.  Ate a McDonald's Salad for lunch and mustard up the energy to go out for SUPPER.  An evening of watching movies on the big screen tv.

During the day I worked on tidying some on the Living room and vacuuming the Dining room.  Very slow paced day as my foot and neck continue to bother me.  I pray I get much better.  

Sunday is to be a day of rest.  Not sure I'll get that as company is coming to visit.  Trying to figure out what to fix for LUNCH.  Salad for sure.  There's a frozen pizza in the freezer.  Maybe if I fix a HUGE salad and slice the pizza in really narrow strips I could get away with this plus fix something that has hamburger in it.  It'll be a big surprise.  Maybe tacos!  We have shredded cheese in the fridge, lettuce, tomatoes.  Just need some taco shells.  I'll figure something out.  There's apples that I could fix an apple salad with celery...hum.  Coming together. 

Shall see.

The week coming will be interesting as we have someone coming to clean the house's duct work.  I will be happy when this is over.  I've waited a while knowing this needed to be done.  This is a very dusty house and the dust bunnies are bountiful.  Praying that this cleaning does the trick and the house stays cleaner than it has been.

I'll continue to thin out things and be better organized.  My poor KITCHEN is still a big mess.  After I organized the cabinets, I didn't like the pantry where I had moved it so I placed all the goods back in the bookshelf in the area leading to the basement.  Still I have to figure out where to go with the potato chips and bagged popcorn.  What a problem to have huh.

The way of the relocating the dishes has been easy to adjust to.  This is good.  Now to just clear off the countertops and make it look like a designer house.  ha

I have some coleus plants that I would like to repot into smaller pots so they can winter in the garden window.  The cooler weather seems to be coming faster than I can manage.  The pumpkin I bought will be placed in an oversize urn that I have.  

My lovely geraniums will have to be moved indoors if I'm to keep them.  Too pretty to throw away.  Healthy sizes and still blooming.  I might put the large pots in the entryway where they would stay in their pots and get sunlight.  The entryway is colder than the rest of the house, but perhaps they'd winter alright there.  Will give it some thought.  


The smaller ones might be taken out of the smaller urns I have and placed in pots.  The urns would then hold pumpkins to enjoy and then when Christmas comes, the urns will hold miniature Christmas trees.  Perhaps the boogie man will not vandalize them this year.  

October has been the month to get the yard ready for cooler weather.  The upstairs office will morph into a tv room.  The large brown recliners will make their way upstairs along with the television.  Later the new wood floor will be laid.  Much later as I had hoped we'd get the Dining room painted before Christmas.  Curtains will be hung.  I have this month and the month of November to make this morph happen.  

We have so much more shuffling to do, it's overwhelming.  Then I have a ton of pictures to go through.  Paperwork still to thin through and file.  Nothing earth shattering, but very time consuming.  Preparing for my HUSBAND to retire.  This will be a huge adjustment in itself.

I am so slow with an energy level that makes me want to cry.  Staying on target, focused and actually getting the work done isn't happening very fast.  This is hard to take.  One day at a time.  Pace myself.  

Blogging helps me get it together what needs done and how to do it.

Blog a way,
