Overwhelmed?!!! Nope!

Last night, I talked to my stepson and grandkids. They are in the process of selling a home and moving and working two and a half jobs. My husband and I can help so we are going down on September 9th. Then we will come home and go back a couple of weeks later toContinue reading “Overwhelmed?!!! Nope!”

Wolfie’s Magic (legal) Cookie

So everyone is asking if Wolfie is okay. He is fine. Turns out, I dropped the bag of cookies and missed picking up one…but Wolfie found it. The dog was stoned! I had to carry him to bed because he was unsteady. Husband did research and found out he would sleep it off. He didContinue reading “Wolfie’s Magic (legal) Cookie”

More Freedom

Today started out with me making rhymes. This is very bad because it means I am very stressed. Had a bit of an anxiety attack and then started cleaning the back room and things got better. I have given up on the idea that things shouldn’t be marked. I have an extensive collection of quiltingContinue reading “More Freedom”

Dad

My dad will be gone 17 years in the next few days. I have spent most of today in tears. I found a picture of the dog he rescued and gave to me. When Gidds died, it was like I lost dad all over again. I miss him with all my heart and I alwaysContinue reading “Dad”

Helpful Husband

Husband helped me move the freezer today. Need to clean up the back room where it went a bit more but it is moved and plugged in. I am loving this cleaning. I love the space it is creating. Tonight, though, I am just tired so calling it a day once I make a bed.

More Moving

Came home and did cleaning and more moving and tossing. No progress tonight as far as I can see but it will get better. Yesterday, I found a beautiful light fixture a friend gave me. I hate electrical work but youtube to the rescue! (Again). I am going to wire it for a plug in.Continue reading “More Moving”

Chaos with a side of order day two

Made some progress at our clean out today. Tons to second hand, tons of trash and things found and repacked. We plan on going back next week and wash a bunch of clothes and blankets and second hand those. That will eliminate a bunch more. Husband has been ill all week so I may goContinue reading “Chaos with a side of order day two”

Anxiety

Waiting for my daughter to go clean out one of the places we have stuff. I’m already tired. I need to be done with this. I am having a lot of anxiety about this clean out. Lots of Christmas and fabric needs to go. Some craft things need to go, too. I know I willContinue reading “Anxiety”

Chaos with a side of order

I continue to rein the house in. It feels chaotic but I realized tonight I am, plodding along, and cleaning three rooms. It’s a painfully slow process that is taking longer than I would like but, each day, a little more is moved. Tonight, a dresser was emptied and I have a plan to replaceContinue reading “Chaos with a side of order”

Wolfie

He isn’t feeling well and we don’t know why so he has kind of taken over the blog tonight. He makes me joyful with the way he normally plays so I am very worried.
