Moving me down the highway...

Moving ahead so life won't pass me by.

Ah, it is almost fall... I can't believe it!  It seems this world spins faster every year.  I know it is just a product of 1 more year on the ride, but it is hard sometimes...

Old Business:

  • Always the garage.  Spiders have been bad.  Projects have not helped.  Lots of extra stuff hanging around...
  • Have put away memorabilia!  Working on pictures next...
  • More bushes planted.  014 has been a huge help with this.  It's been nice to have my own personal gardener!
  • Legos have been gifted to one of 014's friends
  • Becoming at peace with sharing  a room again
  • NYC was a hoot! I had so much fun, I learned so much, I WALKED so much!
  • Wood fence, ramp and stoop still await my attention
  • Wirecage and mortar is done on the front brickwork.  That was a long, hot, hard process!  Not sure I like how it looks, waiting for it to all cure and become one color instead of looking so calico.  I'll probably end up just sealing it this year, and then deciding what I want to do later.
  • Reading regularly now.  1 magazine article a day (usually) and at least a couple pages out of a book too.  I know it doesn't seem like much, but it is a big deal to me.
New Business:
  • Been working on a corporate chair massage gig.  Could mean hiring contractors.  I'm excited-scared and excited-excited!
  • Today I'm building a mold to fix the concrete cap on said brick wall/flower box.  If I'm lucky, buying cement and pouring today too.
  • Doing better at menu planning
  • Doing better at keeping my schedule under control so I'm not working late every night. And building in days off so that I can get work done at home.  I know, for most people that is Saturdays, but most of my Saturdays during the warm weather months are already spoken for. And Sunday is my day of rest.
  • Found a new doctor. Curious to see what he will have to say about my cholesterol, iron and thyroid.  He is an osteopath, so I'm hoping he feels free to use his "jedi" skillz on me...
  • Trying to decide if I should buy a marketing package or is it just another gimmick for someone to take my money...
  • Trying to be at peace with having a senior.  And that he will be gone after this May.  And trying to figure out how to spend a lot of time with him without smothering him.
