VALENTINES ARE ALL IN THE MAIL. Today, I finished writing out more valentines. Addressing them then placing a stamp on the envelope, away they went to the Post Office with my Hunny so they will go out later today. Hope they make it before the 14th.
Can't tell these days how long the mail will take to deliver. I received a business post card post marked the 31st of January arriving February 9th. That's over a week, so I'm hoping the cards and packages make good time. Shall see. I should have mailed myself one just to see how long it takes to travel from here to Kansas City and back.
I continue tidying up inside the house in HOPES that one day I will be in maintenance mode. Not there yet.
SPA DAY for me at HOME. Hair will air dry and I will work in the JUNK ROOM while it dries. Keeping a good attitude while working inside amongst the messes isn't an easy thing for me to do dealing with the intricate details of being in better order. Being older with a very low energy level makes this long drawn out task even more difficult to accomplish. Trying not to complain...just do it.
WATCHING videos of how some are super pumped-beyond words-over the top-in order...got.on.my.nerves the other night. How can they possibly keep this appearance up all the time? I can't. I'm trying to glean ideas on how to make me a better organizer, but these peeps are unreal. Maybe they are reptiles or drones? grins. Maybe, they just have their act together while the cameras are rolling and then their down time is really, really, really down time.
I'm not saying these Ladies are this way, but in general I think living in a HOME where the adults are unable to relax if anything gets out of place would be difficult to be around. This wouldn't be so great. I admire their precise order, but truthfully, I cannot achieve their complete look which is commendable on my part as I am being honest here admitting I cannot achieve their reality. Now, I know somewhere out there is a class Picture Perfect Interiors 101 that I could enroll in.
I plan on working at least 5 minutes a day in the JUNK ROOM making it less junky. I surely can do this. If I'm staying HOME for the day, the 5 minutes could easily turn into 20 making some headway. When I see the headway, it helps lift my spirits.
If I'm away from the house, I should still be able to squeeze in 5 minutes just before heading out the day or at the end of the day. Surely. Just 5 minutes of my time. Surely. Being committed will go along ways.
When a person has health issues, 5 minutes a day may be all that can be done and we can still feel good about forging onward. There are times I get irritated that this decluttering and getting better organized is taking so long to achieve. I have to press in and make it happen.
5 minutes a day.
Surely,
~d
