Working My Tailfeathers Off
The last week or so has been incredibly busy. Work was so busy and tense last Thursday that I went home and just cried from tiredness and tension. There was just too much to do, and too little time to do it. However, I worked hard and got a lot done, even though it wasn’t as much as I would have liked. So, there will be time this week to get everything accomplished … probably.
And the weekend. I had WAY too much on my plate for the weekend. Still, I managed to take two loads of things to the storage building. I’m trying to clear some space in the house and attic so that I can sort through my belongings and find places for everything. I was spending more time moving things around while trying to find places for things, and being completely unable to find places because of the clutter. So I rented a small storage unit and moved all the things I’m saving for yard sale into it, as well as some bulky items that I want to keep but don’t have a place for at the moment.
I made three coeur a creme desserts as well as some low-carb oatmeal cookies — those last are a bit strange, as they are crumbly like shortbread instead of chewy like a regular oatmeal cookie, but once you get over the “Hey! This isn’t chewy!” reaction, they are really very good. Kind of like a pecan sandy.
I also cleaned the kitchen, went shopping (for certain things, not for fun), worked out for an hour, changed all the bed linens (one full and two twins), and folded a third of the piled up clean clothes. I washed three loads of dishes in the dishwasher, and six loads of laundry. I did the research for several articles that I have to write (I planned to post them last night, but a thunderstorm with serious lightning was cracking all around the house, so I unplugged the computer.). I made a list of the vitamins and medications that I am supposed to take every day, so that I could keep track of what I’m taking.
I did a little weeding, did a little filing, did a little mopping …. I got a lot done. There’s still a lot to do, but it’s starting to seem manageable now. And that is a good thing.
