YESTERDAY WAS A BUSY ONE EVEN IF I'M UNDER THE WEATHER. I truly have asthma and it's awful. Will be researching on how to quiet this beast down. The inhaler I use, when I use it, gives me the eebie jeebies. Feels uncomfortable and I don't know how it can be good for one when it makes me get the eebie jeebies. QUICK, grab a cough drop to suck on to feed the beast within. Preferably one with eucalyptus in it.
Cough drops with eucalyptus surely is a healthier choice. Hum...I might grow a plant for the indoors to help with breathing better. Some tie a sprig of it to their shower head to help with breathing while showering.
Worked on bills, paperwork, correspondences and moved a large sofa across the living room floor. I stayed HOME while Husband had an eye appointment. When he returned HOME we went to town to pick up a few supplies. First, some prescriptions needed to be picked up, a letter mailed and the car fueled. Went to WENDY's for a salad. ALSO went to WALMART for some items like cough syrup, orange juice, yogurt, coffee creamer, cuties, filters for the humidifier, oven cleaner and grapes. Rang up a small bill. Walmart is moving towards self check. Have you noticed in your part of the world???
Did I ever think the day would come when we self check at Walmart? I'm getting use to self checking. I handle all the merchandise and bag it the way I see fit. Not all bad when it comes to self checking. The bags I use for purchases are recycled into small waste cans at HOME and trash bags for the cars.
Returned HOME to unload our goods before driving to the COTTAGE on this beautiful Spring day. Quickly shuffled into place some furniture. Because working tools are in the front bedroom taking up floor space, they were shuffled so the wash stand could be moved to her new place beside where the bed will go when the time comes. Finally, the stand is where she is suppose to be. Whalaah. I love this.
The rooms are small full of boxes and furniture making it very difficult to walk easily though the rooms. There were some heavy boxes full of dishes that I had to move so the corner cabinet could be scooted to the other side of the dining room...again. We had already scooted the corner cabinet the other day, but I CHANGED MY MIND and decided it needed to return to where it previously was so a Parlor chair can sit in the corner. LIKE IT HERE.
This took the two of us to walk her across the floor. I switched out the table that the lamp was sitting on so it can be auctioned off. Two tables were gathered to be auctioned. We'll have to transfer them back to the Carriage House later on in the week.
We loaded a cherry dinette table and two colonial dining chairs into the back of our Cruiser to take these pieces to the Carriage House preparing inventory for auction. It seems like an awful lot of work, but we have to do this to make our downsizing successful.
A couple of Victorian Parlor chairs will find there way to the COTTAGE in the morning as I carried them from the upstairs Bedroom to the Living room where they will be loaded in the car for the trip over. A few more pieces of furniture and counting. I found one of my old mirrors hiding in the Victorian Bedroom beside the Gentlemen's Dresser. I'll hang it above the washstand in the COTTAGE.
I still have packing to do and it is overwhelming when not feeling well and I do not feel well. Hoping each day is better so more packing can take place. Each day, I think about what small items can be taken to the COTTAGE and once I get there, what arranging needs to take place so we are closer to being settling in.
This is an unbelievable challenge to me. All the carrying and shuffling items to make the rooms work. Soon, we will be where we need to be. A thought comes to mind that things will begin to eventually be in place and we'll be settled. That will be a great day when this move is complete and the main house is ready to market.
We're having an afternoon rain and when it lets up, we'll empty the car then reload it with the next collection of things to go over. Each load counts. I'll need to clean in the Cottage Kitchen once we get there.
Daydreaming about the front flower beds. I bought a disposable cake plate to use to help when planting circles of Irises. This planting will probably be late July in the heat of the Summer. In each circle there will be 6 bulbs. Trick we learned at the KSU GARDENS. A row of bushes will not go in this year as the foundation of the COTTAGE will need a clean up with new mortar. This will be a later project. Probably Spring 2024.
For now the Heirloom purple Irises that are there will be allowed to bloom. I will need to purchase some more WEDDING WREATH and SKATING PARTY Irises if I can get my hands on them at the JULY IRIS SALE. They are pure white blossoms and I love them. When the time comes I will dig up the Heirloom and plant the white Irises in circles where the Heirloom are moving the Heirloom out further in the bed. I have some border Irises which are shorter and I will transplant these in front of all the large, tall Irises. Hoping to have short border Irises in front of the taller ones that will stand before bushes. I can see the picture in my thoughts and will be working on this becoming a reality this SUMMER. OUR COTTAGE will be a sweet reality soon.
A super good HOME REMEDY is to have things that you love surround you. Having healthy and tidy flower beds feeds my soul. So does having things I like sitting about inside our HOME so I can look at them each day.
