...unfortunately I have no fire to be delightful! Well, welcome to 2022 and Winter Storm Landon! LOL We took today (Wednesday) - Friday off (closed the offices) and this morning it looked like it was a bad call, but now... not so much. Have been enjoying my snow day, have a batch of bread rising, some marinara simmering on the stove, and have shoveled the driveway 2 times, and even got some old birthday cards mailed out. Yea, I still do it. I know it is probably goofy, but with the past two years, I think it's appreciated. Let's see, it's been a hot minute since I've done this. Have really lost (or maybe acquired a new) my pace/rhythm on things...
Old business:
- Pictures put away, homework put away!
- Finished Essential Spirituality. Now Reading Boundaries as my "work" book, and Land of the Painted Caves for fun.
- Trail Guide - ouch fell off the wagon!
- Magazines, every day, before I do my fun book reading. This has been a fun new rhythm right before bed.
- Neck and shoulder exercises (Neckersizes as the boys like to call them) are better, 3-5 days a week.
- We had our 1 year anniversary at HC in Wabash, that has been fun. It has been a rough couple of years for massage, but we are hanging in there.
- QUIT church! Yea, I know, can you believe it? Last day was in October. Replacement gal is perfect for it. It was such the right thing to do, I feel good about it.
- Finished up fall gardening stuff, but unfortunately did not get all the weeds pulled before the ground froze. I reckon they will probably still be there in the spring.
- 018 is off to IU!
- Boys' and my closet rework is done!
- Continued with running as much as I could, 2-3 days a week. Now that it is so cold, I've switched to riding my bike. Not as successful, 1-2 days a week.
- Have donated many things to Goodwill.
- Built a bench for Wabash office.
- Bought S a lift table, and then made an extension so she can work on tall people.
- Starting hiring process for Marion.
New Business:
- 018 and 020 suggested I move them into the same bedroom since they are both in college now so I can have my studio back. So there has been LOTS done to get that going:
- Built a loft out of piping for 018's bed to go over 020's.
- Moved shelving in from laundry
- Moved office stuff out of 020's room
- Made crafting table from old countertop the neighbor's gave me
- Bought a super-cute rug to go under so hopefully my feet stay warm
- I get to look outside the double window into the backyard, yea!
- PURGING as I move stuff in and around
- That set off a chain reaction to reorganizing the laundry room a bit and 018's old bookshelf went out there to be a butler's pantry for me
- Built more pipe covers for the laundry room to keep the cold air out
- Sand/stain boys' bedroom door
- Sand/stain my closet and bedroom doors
- Sand/stain studio doors
- Hang shoe organizer for boys
- Hang punch organizer for me
- Keep on keeping on!
