FRIDAY ROLLED AROUND as I woke to snowfall. Stepping onto the front porch, the chilly air refreshed me as I watched the snowflakes fall to the ground. SNOW AGAIN.
I did walk to the Post Office the day before and got the mail. Don't believe I'll be on a walk today. Next chance I get, I will walk. Getting out of the house makes a difference with my mental health and clarity. I so like getting out.
ON THE AGENDA today. Laundry. Working in the DINING ROOM folding all the empty boxes that have piled up. Putting the empty shoe boxes in the closet to be filled. Exercising. Drinking water with electrolytes. Writing out correspondences. Getting mail mailed. Researching on the internet. Hugging my Husband. Prepared questions for my medical appointment coming up. That took some doing as I don't want to forget anything.
TIME FOR A REFRESHING NAP right now. I decided that I will welcome the naps instead of putting myself down that I took one. I need the quiet time to get regenerated. Getting up before 6 in the mornings makes for a long day. Afterwards I will get to work and enjoy the day.
No breakfast. Lunch was left-overs and supper had better be a huge salad full of goodness. Drinking Hibiscus Tea and electrolyte water throughout the day.
With the Kitchen in better order, it is a pleasant thing to walk into the room and see it in order. Now to make order out of the Dining room so I can go ahhhhhh and get a lift to my spirit.
Last TUESDAY when I went thrifting, I purchased a LINDA STEELE PORCELAIN DOLL. Circa 1992. A little boy doll. Beautiful glass eyes instead of acrylic eyes. Cute costume. He needs cleaned up, so I will do this.
I have very few male dolls. This one caught my eye and was marked at a reasonable price plus my senior discount. I did well that day as I did not over buy.
I found a couple of SPRING BLOUSES as well. The bluejeans were too expensive so I avoided them. If I'm going to pay $10 or more from a thrift store then I will put the money into a brand new pair from a different store. I drew a line.
I believe the more we organize on the house, the better I will feel and the better I will be. DINING ROOM is the next project in getting in order. We won't remodel until we are further along. Quick clean-up and time to think about what we will do to make the COTTAGE look like we want.
During my PLAYTIME and surfing I ran across a beautiful tour on a gorgeous Prairie Farmhouse. Not sure where it is located, but I sure liked the way the lady of the house decorated. I wouldn't mind imitating her style. Out the windows I could see the flat landscape and it reminded me of where I grew up in Southwest Kansas. Less noise with wide open spaces. My heart went ahhhh. 💗
