DONE!! My son came after work to help. He did in 5 mins what it would have taken me all night to do. the bed fit perfectly in the area I cleared out and vac'd. Eventually I will put the bed on the other wall but this is good for now.
Next is deal with the random boxes and get all clothing in the other room and everything else in this room.
I officially declare DS's old room as the new Guest Room!! And the old guest room as my walk in closet/locker room/catch all room!
So no more excuses, this is going to get done!
I have already gone though some storage that was under the bed and pulled out some donate.....well an old sheet but it counts!!
While my son was here he took a box of his stuff. Little by little he is going through his stuff as well.
OK - more to sort!

Hope your furnace can be fixed, it's not great if it gives up when it's frosty.
So today, self care with a swim Tesco shop, & put away groceries Made up load of sandwiches to freeze for work lunches Kept up with the washing up Tidied laundry away Family phone call Minor PEEP, I'm surprised that the front room is looking more in control after very little effort, maybe I can concentrate on this room to see good results.. . Time to wind down for the night and watch the last episode of "Traitors" Looking around there are some bulky items that need to be put back in the attic to make room downstairs. I just realised both the front and back doors are free from obstacles, I need to try to maintain that, ...

I still have lingering anxiety when things fall apart
Scholar, that had to have been hard, it's bad enough when things don't work but than to have to deal with someone getting enraged about it doesn't help.
I got distracted by a tv show, I have started a series on Amazon Prime called Astrid, about an autistic archivist who helps a police detective solve crimes. I wasn't sure I would like it from the description, but I just loved the first episode.
I have about 45 minutes before I have to start getting ready for bed, I will try to declutter during that time.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!
Diane

Bed in the new guest room is freshly made I have a load of darks washing I have clothes laid out for tomorrow I picked up pieces of trash in the old guest room I found a spoon and a fork and put them in the dishwasher Ate chinese for supper The biggest find of the night was several pairs of glasses on the floor under the bed I knew I had them, I had no idea where they were. They were the cheap dollar store ones. I have a candle burning and the light next to the bed is on. I hope it is bright enough to read
I was getting ready to start another major project and move the dresser into the other room and the book case into this room. I decided to go to bed instead!
good night everyone!!

Bad day, and that was all I could manage. Trying to be kind to myself and focus on the self care habits I've been doing alongside my house habits. Tomorrow is another day.

Took the day off work. Feeling overwhelmed. Anxious. Yet excited for my weekend plans. Short trip out of town with husband and our best friends for my birthday.
Going to play my race to 100 game today with 15 minute breaks. On your mark, get set, go!

Good morning everyone!
I hope those who are anxious or overworked have a calm day today.
Ohblondie, I'm excited about your room transformations!
I had decent sleep and today will be 40 degrees, so I'm going to try to work on the porches for a bit, even though we will still have periodic rain today.
I saw a lovely quote to start the day:
"If you listen to birds, every day will have a song in it."

Happy Friday! thanks for the support on my furnace. It was fixed yesterday and the part was under warranty! I feel very fortunate that I have a furnace, was able to call someone to fix who came that day, that the part was covered and I only had, and was able, to pay for the service part. Diane I love that quote! my little bird has flown the coop! he/she started coming more sporadically and now is gone. I hope bird has found a better nest. ohblondie congrats on getting your room done! TwinkleToes you have done so much and it is so early! I just took puppy to daycare. low 40s and rainy and flood warnings around here so glad that I don't have to walk her tonight in my sloshy boots! last night I took her for a walk around 6:30 pm and it was so dark and foggy. the snow had mostly melted so that made it darker too. She started to get really wild, nose to ground, darting to and fro in one field and I thought uh oh deer must be nearby. Then I saw two deer leaping ahead of us, thankfully puppy did not see them! So I changed course, then a bit later she froze in her tracks and my light caught eye shine (like a bigfoot hunter : )) of a deer so another course change! I am not motivated to work today. I am weary of my job but I also want to keep it! I did look online for jobs locally and full remote. I think it would be a real long shot to hire someone who is near retirement. retirement is three to four years out for me. I am just so worn out from Chaos, the bureaucracy of the place, the lack of leadership there that leads to so many problems. I guess I am just worn out...ugh/ but I have a lot to do today. I want to accomplish: finish project R start and finish project S send a very important email to a group talk with a vendor do first draft of project L send another email to get a project rolling I am grateful my work has some flexibility, some creativity, good benefits... I am just worn out.

I talked to my decluttering client.
Now I'm going to clean up the enclosed front porch some, the windowsills have plant debris all over them, and the floor needs to be swept. There are some bags of bird seed to move into one corner. My goal is not to make it perfect, I just want to make it better than it is now.
