It has been a busy and productive weekend. Ken and I have knocked off the errands in record time. My todo list for the weekend is nearly all done. More sorting and organizing got done in the office. The weekend is still not done.
My goal this weekend was to get the errands done and prep for a contest which is due next Monday. This involved sorting through two large stacks of writing paperwork. I thought it would take me a long time but essentially I sorted into categories and will do the fine tuning once my organizational items get here.
Ken and I got through all the errands yesterday except grocery shopping which he did this morning. We went to Shopko, the post office, and Walgreens. We also prepped the house for Kelly and Dominic coming over. They called mid-errands and wanted to get together. This was a wonderful thing as life has been so busy for all of us.
In prepping the house, I was able to cross off several things from my todo list, like organizing for the few projects I want to get done in the next week. Everything I need is at hand so I just need crochet time.
This morning I got up and allowed myself one hour of time wasting by playing Bookworm Adventures. It is addicting and I can’t stop but I allowed myself the fun of playing while I woke up.
Then I worked on reorganizing things. Ken helped by taking things off high shelves and putting them where I wanted (like on other high shelves). I have the items where I want them now – mostly decorative stuff that is good to look at but I don’t need to deal with much. I sorted through my huge stacks of paperwork. I also got the doilies a friend made me put on display with some knick knacks (mostly stones) and a bowl I got for a gift.
It is amazing to me how many little details can get taken care of in a matter of just a day or two. Last night while I watched tv I worked on another kitchen set. I have two more pot holders to make and some sponges. After which I will work on bibs for those who requested them.
The office is coming together. Lots of things have been organized and arranged. The living room got cleaned, which involved me clearing off and organizing the stuff on the couch and much of my crocheting stuff. Shortly, I’m going to take my manuscript and go sit in the recliner to do one more edit before I submit it for the contest. I think I can officially say it has been a busy and productive weekend!
