TIS TUESDAY and I am feeling more like normal since this co vid thing got me down. It's been rough coughing for 8 weeks. Doesn't seem possible that two months has passed. Better days ahead I pray.
During this time, I have managed to rest and find time to gather up more things to donate. This is on going. Started yet another bag that rests in the Kitchen. Very little housekeeping took place as I was beyond tired. So fatigued.
AS FOR PAPERWORK...I emptied a laundry basket full of papers needing attention to shred or file and emptied the Victorian Desk drawers. I started by picking up a pile of papers, going through them and then placing them in individual piles on the floor. A HOME and AUTO PILE (anything pertaining to home payments, utility bills to items purchased as well as for the cars), A FINANCIAL PILE (anything pertaining to spending, checking, savings, retirement), A MEDICAL PILE, A GRANDCHILDREN'S PILE and a misc. PILE.
Next, medium size boxes were located and the papers will go into individual category boxes. After I have grouped all the loose papers in each box, I will begin to organize into individual subjects just what is there and then put in order of dates. File away. I will be ever so glad when this is completed. It has been a heavy weight.
Today, I felt like I made huge progress which is very uplifting after months of getting nowhere. I can see light at the end of this messy tunnel. Thankful to finally feel some relief. I was bogged way down for so long.
If my health continues to improve, I plan on making a trip to Topeka or Manhattan to go hunting for extra large mason jars to store flours, sugars, cereals, tea bags and coffee pods. WEARING A MASK, I plan on going to Hobby Lobby first. If they don't have any that will work then it will require hunting at Menards, Target, Big Lots, Walmart, Michaels, Family Dollar. Not sure where else. Perhaps I should check the internet first.
Smaller jars will be used for spices and herbs. Won't that be wonderful? Awesome.
At any pace, I know the direction I am headed concerning Kitchen storage and decor. Praise the sweet Lord.
On the HOME FRONT:
We purchased a large light from the thrift store for at the top of the stairs. Got a super good price on this and Husband wasted no time installing it. Sure like it.
