And I want it to feel lazy and fun. Not lonely and boring.
Even though we have debt, I want money in the bank. I go back and forth on this, but in the end, I want that money there. Not a lot. A month’s pay, which is really quite a lot to us right now. It will take a long time to build that up. I need to remember this goal.
We have been turning off lights much more often. I think we have to do this more. We have been using flourescent for a long time. I may need to get a new thermostat. I’m not sure how to do that. Also we need to have someone look at the wiring in our house. It’s overwhelming right now. But I’m starting with turning out more lights…more than we already do. Right now I’m getting up and turning out more…
We already recycle cans very well. But not paper or plastics. So we plan to set up garbage cans for those. No really great plan yet.
Just ideas.
I sort of throw it together, but I’d like to have a neat bed. I think I’m going to need to find or buy a new bedspread to make this look nice. And replace the bed ruffle. It is falling apart. But I will start with trying to make it look neat with what is there.
I enjoy this and I don’t even have to leave the house. There’s really no excuse not to.
I think if I would get up and get into normal clothes on the weekends, even matching sweats or something, I’d be more productive and get this other stuff done. I would feel better. So this seems like an important first step.
It shouldn’t be hard to paint, but the obstacles are OTHER things like replacing the air conditioner and cleaning it out.
It’s on the list now.
So one step at a time.
I have 8 dogs. 7 rotate inside the house and all of them smell. I need to do a better job of grooming them.
