Are we living our dream?

Chills and fever, I’m sorry you are sick. I hope you get over it quickly. Hope the next batch of chicks survive.

I sent my DIL the following picture instructions. Hope it works.

Yesterday I got a visit from my deceased BF’s daughter. She must have picked up disaster supplies at a local church and used it as an excuse to stop by. I brought her outside to see the rabbits, greenhouse, pig, goat….whatever. I think she just wanted to connect with me because I was close to her mom. She told me she believes her stepdad killed her mom. I told her it’s my understanding that she isn’t alone in that belief. She stayed with me a good while. I am glad we were outside and some distance from each other because I still don’t feel good. Using some of the stuff she brought me to make a bean soup. I almost feel like I was with my old bestie. She looks so much like her mom.

DD here with me. She has zero interest in farming. We are probably going to the city for Chinese food, ink for calligraphy (for her), maybe some kind of fabric for a few pairs of pants for me…God knows I need it. And I want to check out the pawnshop for an adult tricycle. Today might be expensive. Oh and DD wants to go to the skating rink. Don’t even know if it’s open or what.

sounds like a fun day in the city. we don't get to the city much, our small town yes (daily to take the kids to school) for weekly trips if needed for gas, farm store or something, but when we do it is fun--for a day. Hope you had some good quality time with your DD

The weather was terrible. Looks better today. We got some stuff done. She has a few pieces of clothes and her ink.
When we got back she wanted to practice driving and we took Trouble for a run. DH came with us.
I need to tackle some lack of motivation on my part and get organized in the house. Too much clutter. I think once I get started I will be okay. Problem is I don’t really have a game plan.
Maybe flylady can help me out.

 

[Medicine Woman]

Omg. DH is trying me! He lost something that only he touches and he thinks someone else moved it. In the meantime I bought something to hook up the WiFi and I know exactly where I put it and it’s gone. So I found the first item. So I only know one way to find a missing item and that’s to clean up. Here I am, wanting to motivate myself and get stuff organized and he passed through the front ramp on the house and now he wants to fix that. That’s not going to clean the house or find the missing item which I know for a fact I didn’t lose. But I bet I will find it exactly where he hooked up the antenna and external wire. I just don’t see why when I want to get something done that I have to have my blood pressure elevated. Clutter!! Yesterday he bought me an abridged copy of The Secret Garden. I guess I can read it to the grandchildren but I don’t have a bookshelf. He also bought a new puzzle. Too bad the table is full of random junk. It’s like I have to keep on top of my stuff and him too. I need to get rid of random things that I know won’t be used like the clothes dryer, a ceiling fan he found in a junk pile, a light fixture from a junk pile, random stuff really. I can’t even think.

 

[Medicine Woman]

Okay. Sorry. I feel better now. I only had to give him coffee while I cleaned up a bit. I really am sorry. I know I need to build him up. I know he is counting on me. Sometimes it’s just too much. I told myself to channel my Mawmaw so I can get stuff done and stay positive. I managed to put some cardboard boxes out and do just a bit with the pantry. Yeah the table is still a disaster but I have about 1/3 of the stuff picked up and lots of dishes. I seriously am always washing dishes. It’s not out of reach so long as I don’t let myself get too discouraged. Well maybe I can stay home today and make myself proud.

Maybe flylady can help me out.

I love flylady!

Once I am on a roll with it, I am good. I haven’t even checked my email s from the flylady but I have tackled a few hotspots. You can’t organize clutter. I make myself a promise…. I will set a timer for 15 minutes and then GO!! And I will do that until I see a difference and then I will look at one or two flylady emails. My gift to myself 🥰
