Catching up on jobs today

 I have ignored some things that need doing around here for some time now. As I am feeling more like my old self these days I have started to show some interest in getting on top of things. It’s been awhile since that has happened so I am taking advantage while I am in the mood.

At the moment I am doing laundry because I do not want that to get out of hand again. So I am cutting it off at the pass and keeping on top of it. The other job I tackled today was sorting the warm weather clothes from the cold weather clothes and thinning the heard by donating some that I do not wear anymore. 

I just have to put the summer things in their tote and this job is done. I have to admit it’s a little personal triumph to get these things looked after. I have been a sad lump for long enough, it feels good to be easing back into the land of the living. 

For quite some time I felt like that old saying of one step forward and two steps back, like there was a road block behind every road block and I just could not win, no matter what I did. Things are looking up and I am feeling much much better.

Right now I am going to go and knit for a bit, then go do some work in the kitchen. One of theses days I will tackle my craft room. That will be a most daunting task.

Fall has arrived

 I caved in in the wee hours this morning and turned the furnace on, 3:00am to be precise. I could not take it any more. The house is nice and cozy now and that’s the most important thing. I do love fall but I am not thrilled with what comes after. I like the nip in the air but I delay turning the furnace on because it costs so much to heat the house these days.

I missed blogging last week and I was so sure I would get one done on Tuesday but best laid plans and all that. It has been a busy week. The Banker and I ventured to the big city for me to attend a doctors appointment. I am hoping to get some surgery done and this appointment was to start of the process. I have not made up my mind if I am going to make the details public but my nearest and dearest know what I am talking about.

It was so nice to be out and about. I don’t get out much these days so our little trip was a real adventure. The fact the doctor had good news for me was icing on the cake for sure.

I finally got the mountain of laundry done, now I have to keep on top of the current stuff. I have some crafty things I need to get making and I am currently doing some knitting for myself. I have gotten some personal problems taken care of thanks to family and friends and right now my life is 90% better than it was. Many game changers have taken place and if I could I would dance the drunken monkey dance of joy down the street.

The banker and I put a new seat cushion on my recliner and it makes a world of difference. I need to make an extra cushion cover for it so when one needs to be washed I can cover the cushion. I don’t want to have to sit on foam without some sort of covering. We made a sort of large pillow case so it’s super easy to remove and wash.

A nap is calling my name,
