odds and ends

Over the last few days, I have been frustrated each time I think I’ll have some time to sit down and blog. I have missed posting the last few days and had a number of things I wanted to share, but it has just not worked out for me to take the time to do it.

I guess this is where I am having trouble accepting the limits I talked about the other day. Especially when it’s something I really want to do!

So, I’m stealing a few minutes to jot down a few updates:

  • Although I have decluttered more than 7 things in the past week, I have to admit it was all in one day and I really got off track the rest of the week. So my nightstand shelf is usable again, but that’s about it. Tomorrow is a new day and I’m going to pick up right where I left off.
  • On that note, Suzanne at 365 Days of Decluttering has decided to create new monthly challenges this year, and she posted her first one on the 22nd. The basic challenge is to focus on the room you see when you enter your home and find one thing each day to declutter in that room. Visit her to read more about it.
  • Our clothes dryer seems to have died. Although it still get hots, the drum no longer turns. It might be worth trying to fix if either of us was handy enough to do it, but we’re not. Since the machine was originally purchased (by the previous owners of our home) in September 1970, I’m afraid that if we pay someone to come and fix it, something else might just go wrong next week. So right now I have Michael’s halfway dry clothes draped over all the available chairs, and we need to decide if we are shopping for a repairman or a new dryer.
  • I am meeting with Michael’s psychologist tomorrow morning to discuss a couple of issues we have been having plus ask her advice about what testing to look for in his school re-evaluation, which is due this year.

So that’s what is going on in my world, and now I’m going to watch the rest of Worst Cooks in America and then go to bed. Night all!
