It'll be nice to get out of the house and go to town. The weather is suppose to be pleasant today. Perhaps I'll get a trenta green iced tea and sip for 4 hours. Hubby needs to get some car parts as well. Another full day will be in the works.
WHEN I LEFT, he waved good-bye to me. Cute. Yesterday, we had to pick up a piece of equipment from the kids, so I got to see him. His mom was holding him and he leaned into my open car window trying to show some affection toward me. Now that's sweet.
Praying for wisdom and favor.
May everything be done decently and in order,
I'll make a donation dropped this afternoon and while I'm out and about, go purchase Halloween candy. There's a couple of dolls upstairs that I'll donate as well. Bye-bye. On a different day, I will go through the rest of the books to thin more out. I do love my books. Turning loose a little here and a little there.
After I get binders made up for the loose papers, I'll house them on the shelves for order. Continuing on. Right now, I have reached the bottom of a huge tub that was once f u l l of papers. Further along than I was a month ago. While I'm working at this, my attitude could have been better I know. I'll like the end results that's coming together, but grunted away when in the middle of this task. Not a good attitude to have, but I am determined to get through this junk.
Let there be peace in my HOME.
Harmony and order.
It is possible to multi-task. I may not like having so many loose ends going at the same time, but this process is happening. Concentrating on weight loss, juggling so many medical appointments, dealing with health issues, an aging parent, thinning out mountains of personal paperwork, downsizing home belongings, remodeling a COTTAGE, touching up the main house, figuring where the furniture will go in the COTTAGE, trying to make room for sentimental pieces, shuffling rooms....my brain is in high gear. Body not far behind.
Rome wasn't built in a day as some say. It does take time to get things done. Still, I think there's too much going on. Makes my head spin.
BABY SAT.
October is nearly half over. Today BABY C is 11 months old. I'm on the outlook for his first birthday present. On Monday I babysat. He was such fun to watch. Never cried when his folks left for a doctor's appointment. It almost felt like I was at a spa looking out the window seeing countryside in the background. Pleasant view. SO very peaceful.
This is day 12 of my Daniel Diet. Started the day out with cooked oatmeal topped with blueberries, sliced banana and raspberries. Matcha tea to sip on.
As I was going through my paperwork, I came across a different diet that I may do after my blood work is done in November. Gracious sakes. Shall see if it assist me in more weight loss. I'd like to continue this weight loss journey in a healthy way one meal at a time full of nutrition and few chemicals. Clean eating. The biggest change of all during this remaking of self has been the change of eating habits. Being more aware of what and how much I am eating has been a work in progress. Making myself aware and take notice is something I have to remind myself each day.
I woke early today and dove into the box of paperwork. sigh. As I look at each piece of paper, it's either going into a large box for shredding or into a pile of papers to keep. Round one. Then the pile of keepers are gone through again to either sleeve for binders or just keep. Round two. Round three is grouping like kind papers and Round four is placing into binders or into a file cabinet. Tadaah. CELEBRATE! Almost there.
This is a part time job for sure. What will I ever do with myself when this task is completed? I'm sure I'll think of sumthan. All new incoming papers and receipts will be handled in maintenance mode. Lord willing. Chin up and onto other things to conquer in plain sight.
For now, I'm dealing with recipe print outs, medical articles, medical statements, Rx papers, children and grandchildren papers, artwork, religious input, home remedies, decorating ideas, pictures, newspaper articles, banking, financial and utility info., and so much more. I think I will relocate my work station to a desk upstairs where I will continue working on this so the living room and dining room return to what they are suppose to be, beautifully functioning rooms. Making this happen again will require morphing right along.
THRIFT find for HOME.
One of the easiest ways to decorate is with pillows. Want to change the mood of a room? Add a pillow. Swap them out for the season adding splashes of color to an area. Whalaah.
Here it is the middle of the WEEK. I have a tendency to get worked up thinking there's so much that needs done. I'm a work in progress as well.
Praying for wisdom and favor.
May everything be done decently and in order,
