Pack my house in an orderly fashion so when I move I can unpack in a way that doesn't drive me crazy
Took the plunge.......... 1 day ago

Even though I don’t have a buyer, I hired movers to move very nearly all of me into that storage unit. Miss Lily Belle and I will indoor camp until we have a buyer and escrow closes. The movers come Sunday, so I took tomorrow off to pack. Two full days of packing should allow just about everything to go to storage. Then? Get these carpets cleaned, they desperately need it. Without all the furniture in the way, it’ll be a breeze.



Establish the habit of exercising daily. :o (aw, come on! one sit up! one dawg minute on the treadmill!)
Can we say 3 days ago

“Lazy Slug” boys and girls?

Graicous. SO time to get with this goal!



Landscape my backyard if it tunrs out I don't/can't sell my house (read all 2 entries…)
This is proving........ 3 days ago

to be a good experience at letting go and not controling everything… anything really.

Samson is filming this for his local television show as kinda a before and after with a focus on native plants. Also, water conscious planting. I have kept the promise to let it be a total surprise and wait for the (filmed) Grand Reveal. (Talk about pressure to react in a so worthy of television manner!)

I had left my Fabulous beach lounge in the backyard and asked Samson to bring it in the garage for me as I would want to go to the beach. (Yippee! Remember…...... that’s part of the shirking the household duties and getting a yummy tan goal. =)

I was so bummed when he said that that chair and my two 1950’s calmshell metal lawn chairs had moved on to their destiny. Sigh. What was he thinking!!! (Laugh)

Beach chairs are rated for weight (below 100 pounds, below 200 pounds, etc.) I had a really awesome beach chair and it will difficult to replace until the beginning of the season next year. so sad.

So…..... sometimes when things like that happen I get a bit nervous on what else might be happening that I am not fond of. The reason why not having the slightest, well, maybe I do have the slightest, bit of control is that I really do believe I will sell my house soon and move!
