Do you have a similar Mile Long To Do List?
I used to make to do lists regularly. These days, I do t even know what I would put on them. I’m more scatterbrained than I used to be.
ReplyDeleteMy to do lists are often a "late night brain dump"! Sometimes, I can't fall asleep because I keep thinking of all the things I need to do/want to do. Then, I write them all down and that helps.
DeleteQuite a list! Looks like you've got some things done. We had plans for the summer but none of them got done lol. It's funny but the months from May to September seem to go so quickly and winter seems to go so slow! It's difficult to get outside things done here in Michigan in the winter, but hopefully some of the inside things can still get done!
ReplyDeleteSome of the items on my list have been there for years! Lack of someone reliable who could do the work has hampered me for a long time. That's why I am so happy that the monks referred "A" to me. I hope you are able to get some of your to do items get done this winter. If not, there's always next year!
DeleteIf this handyman works out, you will have most of that list done in no time. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Live and Learn. That's what I am hoping, too! He's here, this morning, taking a look at the plumbing. I was feeling rather down, last month, because I had been retired for a year and hadn't got any of these house repairs done, but, things are certainly looking up, this month!
DeleteWell, you are making steady progress on the house improvements and repairs - what a blessing to spiff up your home. Even though I am reading the second of Marie Kondo's books on tidying, I think decluttering is an on-going adventure too. She thinks it is more of a one time event.
ReplyDeleteIt is, indeed, a blessing to be able to make the needed repairs, Susanne. For me, decluttering is on-going; I rather envy those who can declutter once and be done.
