Haven't rambled in a while so here goes......
Staying cool as I can during this heat wave where the heat index makes the atmosphere feel so much hotter it can kill.
Tried to explain what a heat index is to LIL Miss
and I don't think I did a very good job at explaining
to her off the cuff.
Sometimes I can wing it, but not this time.
She's pretty good at the questions these days.
Every once in a while I have to tell her that her Mom should explain things to her.
The beauty of it all.
PAUSE
Sipping on a cold LIPTON
Diet
GREEN TEA
CITRUS
Not too bad.
When they are chilled and a quick grab out of the ice box
I really can quinch my thirst
on a hot
hot
day.
PAUSE
As the week-end draws near, my dear sweet Husband and I will be bringing MORE vinyl storage boxes out of the cellar to deal with.
It seems to take so much longer for me to accomplish these task.
I sometimes wish I could just BLINK and it be done.
Too much wishful thinking on my part.
I asked him last night if we were about half done on the tubs???
Yes, but there are old paint cans that will need to be taken to the special location in town to get rid of in a proper way, some old lumber, and much of this and that.
Using
J.R. WATKINS All Purpose Cleaner
UNIVERSEL AGENT NETTOYANT
White Tea and Bamboo
which is Ammonia Free, Bleach Free, Dye Free, Phosphate Free, Non-Toxic
to clean the vinyl tubs.
I'm having a heyday with this cleaner.
ANOTHER satisfied customer.
In other words I REALLY LIKE IT.
PAUSE
We decided that after we clear out the cellar
that we will return to the ceiling in the Bedroom.
I need a crew of people like my HUBby. Mercy sakes alive....we'd make such headway.
I do know that I have had an epiphany of sorts ABOUT clutter and what it really does to ones soul. Yes, there's such a thing as organized clutter, but I no longer want the mess about my feet dodging boxes with a full body shift when going from one room to another. I continue to study up on organizing and doing things differently than I have.
I have had to ask myself, "HOW DID I GET SO FAR BEHIND???" Hubby gently reminds me that I had cancer, he got bit by a bat, he got cancer, daughter came home with a baby after her marriage fell apart, our son had a nervous breakdown when going through a divorce, and the list goes on.....oh.
It has been a mental work-out for me going through all the things that need attention. My mental muscles are like a body builder's pump you up body.
Reminding myself that I will be successful and victorious in this endeavor because the LORD IS WITH ME. I asked HIM to help me with this task and have dedicated it to HIS GLORY. When we arrive at the finish line, I know that it will be a glorious day and a half.
PAUSE
I think of the days to come when the temperatures return to the 70s. It will be warmly received! A little play on words there.
PAUSE
I had some GOOD NEWS today as the Nurse told me my TSH numbers were where the doctor wanted them.
T HYROID
S TIMULATING
H ORMONES.
So to get my numbers at a HAPPY PLACE,
it took 4 and a half months after switching meds. It was a rough 4 and a half months for me as a person without a thyroid!
Praising GOD that I am at a HAPPY PLACE now.
I've had a slight weight loss from switching meds.
I'm 15 pounds lighter and counting. I wouldn't mind staying on the reduction side of things until I am at my high school weight.....if this be possible.
Main thing is to be HEALTHY!
PAUSE
I raved about Palmolive CLASSIC Pink Dish Detergent...just for grins I picked up a sample size of Palmolive Almond Milk and Blueberry Soft Touch and I LOVE it just as much as the delightful PINK.
I must be in a lavender phase....still this detergent surprised me by this ~NEW~ fragrance.
OH SO LOVELY!
So once again I am VERY VERY pleased with this Product.
PAUSE
Bouncing Around:: I so hope we will install decorative curtain rods this week-end so I can show off the discounted curtain panels I bought to beautify our HOME. It's been a very long and drawn out adventure concerning the Family room walls that had ancient wallpaper on them. Slowly we got all the layers off the walls and stayed with WHITE. I have antique looking embossed wallpaper that can be painted stashed in their boxes. STILL contemplating hanging and then painting.
PAUSE
Recently we switched the FAMILY room into a Dining room AND the FORMAL PARLOUR became a casual Living room. As time passes, we hope to turn one of the upstairs bedrooms into my FORMAL Sitting Room and turn it into a quiet place to think, pray and dream. Eventually my dolls will fill this room and a DREAM WILL COME TRUE.
BUT FIRST.......we have to de-clutter in a really BIG WAY.
The Master Bedroom will be completed.
Back to creating a sweet KITCHEN.
Then a larger Bathroom will take shape.
A REST will be in order.
Some touch up paint in various places.
It helps me to see this in type.
TYPE.
WHEN LIFE GETS YOU DOWN
LOOK UPWARDS
THE LORD WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU
TALK TO HIM
AND SHARE EVERYTHING
BLESSINGS TO YOU,
