MAKING THE COTTAGE OUR HOME requires muscle and sweat. I changed my mind... which meant I now have to use more muscle and sweat to make our cottage our HOME. That happened. I want the victory.
AS I SCOOTED A HEAVY WASH STAND across the carpeted bedroom floor into the living room into the other bedroom, sweat was dripping from my forehead onto the top of the stand. My old body had heated up and I told myself, "I want to get this piece in place before I leave for the day."
I wanted the VICTORY of having done this feat by myself. Whaalaah. I got the wash stand in place and placed the Victorian lamp and pitcher with wash bowl back where they belonged. Like I have said before we move things around until it is where we like it. Seems like a lot of work getting everything just so-so. The satisfaction is comforting.
Already the BEDROOMS have been switched and we have not moved in yet. ha-ha. Got to thinkin that the front bedroom is really a tad bit larger than the pink room so with that in mind I stood at the door looking into the room and imagined where the pieces could go. It clicked. They needed switched. Visited with my DATE and he agreed. So I began the switching of furniture pieces while he was working in the garage.
TODAY, we will load boxes into the cars and I will finish switching the furniture we have in the rooms already. It will be another full day of making this reality of downsizing and MOVING a real thing. May I be VICTORIOUS.
YESTERDAY, I was busy in TOPEKA getting labs done for a surgical procedure I will be having later in the month so nothing was done in COTTAGE as I was zonked after I got HOME. The results will be in the health portal. Did some shopping after medical appointment.
DAY TIMER:
*MEDICAL APPOINTMENT.
*FOOD. Starbucks Green Tea and a Chef Salad at the Hospital. Intermittent fasting hit a wall and I needed something quick. Sat on a stool at Starbucks in house enjoying something in my stomach.

BECOMING A COUCH POTATO. Not only did we eat BAKED POTATOES, but we became one. After SUPPER we watched some television exhausted from a full day. JACK RYAN. Forget about it. I won't be finishing the series. Too much KILLING and foul language. I found the episode a bit dull and it seems like I have seen all this before. Getting paid 2 million dollars AN EPISODE? Actor JOHN KRASINSKI is paid $2,000,000.00 an episode. Now how did he maneuver this one? 2 million. Unreal. He knows how to play the Hollywood game doesn't he? Hollywood. I can hear the tune in my head. Money, money, money...it's a rich man's world?
The messages that Hollywood sends out is full of corruption that is easily imitated. Isn't that part of the plan? It's fuel for wrong thinking. You see and hear enough of it and it soaks into your thought life activating wrong ideas. The F-BOMB seems to be the number one word of choice in shows today. Over KILL on this. F this and F that are spoken over and over.
The powers that be have given permission for the scripts to be full of foul language, sexual perversion, smoking, ungodly lifestyles that lead to destruction and ruin. I know that we can be more selective in the choices of shows we watch. Have I learned my lesson yet? Detoxing from it all is a lifestyle change for sure.
Flirting with foul language becomes a flaw. If I want the victory as a woman of godly character then I cannot continually watch such garbage on the television screen. I'm guilty of watching way too much TV through the years. I did basically all my informative years through this present day watch television. The quality of the programming has gone from Captain Kangaroo and Mister Roger's kindness with Mayberry's moral small town with Petticoat Junction's innocence verses the 2020s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's strippers and foul mouth dialogue holding hands with Downton Abbey's upscale living.
Times have changed haven't they? But it's not the first time.
Through the years, I have done well with having the television off during the daylight hours. No Soap Operas or game shows. NO TV, but I can't say that about time spent on the computer. I'm not a frequent visitor on my cell phone playing games. Pat myself on the back. There was LIFE before TV, computers and phones. Stepping back in time may take some doing. Spending time landscaping and gardening will advance in my schedule. Walks and nutrition will be a priority. I want to be VICTORIOUS.
BACK TO RELOCATING. I stacked over twenty moving boxes by the back door which Hubby will transfer to the cars. We'll rest a spell and drive over to unload, take a break and shuffle furniture making the rooms more like a HOME instead of a warehouse. I want to be VICTORIOUS TODAY instead of sitting all day in front of the computer and TV. Sometimes when exhausted it seems like all I can do is what I am doing. QUIET TIME thinking and praying is an option.
Sometimes I am too tired to read. Puts me to sleep. Sitting outside under a shade tree shouldn't be overlooked.
