zestfiveSunday I started cleaning my office, I felt so good to start on this because it's been a pit for a long time. I threw away one bag of garbage and have one for burning(sensitive information such as past paychecks), recycling, donations and one for magazines for the library. I also started working on the bathroom. I needed to replace the mildewed shower curtain. This made me feel so productive especially after I put together my new IKEA table and chairs and got the old one out to my front yard(free-take me). My neighbor took it and repaired it. Yipee! Grilled some steak and chicken for the boy tonight, wasn't too bad. I even had time to run to the grocery store for stuff for the week.
Monday I got 8 hours of sleep, WOW! I also worked on the bathroom (I'm replacing the caulking strip around the tub and wall). It won't take too long to get that finally clean now. I'm still working on the office. I did get a nice walk in before it got too hot, it's suppose to hit 90's today (ugh, thank god I put the air on). I cooked up some stir fry veggies and put the leftover steak from last night in with some rice. Yum.
So today even though I'm working on stuff...I'm feeling a bit out of sorts. I'm not sure if it's because JP didn't call back after I called her on Friday or because I've actually got some time to myself for once. It's weird, if I'm not constantly running from one thing to another, I get out of sorts. Part of me wanting to get my house in better shape is so that I feel comfortable to entertain, I want to invite people over. BUT...I'm not sure who I want to come over...As I'm "getting out there" more, I find that I don't want to get to really know too many people. I guess I would characterize myself as socially ambivalent. I do want to get close to more people...but I want them to be worthy of my commitment, spirit and soul.
AF and I are planning to go camping this weekend. I've realized it's really the only weekend until September that I'm available. I'm thinking I might go up to the Iron Range, my ex-step grandmother in law lived up there and we went to visit her a couple of years before she died. I had previously asked to be notified in the event of her death but only found out through my ex the day before the service. Had I not had things that I needed to go to for work, I would have gone. It's been in my mind to go and see the grave, I think I will finally be able to do it. We will also stop and see all the tour and museums up there. AF is really interested in history right now.
I've got to get my car cleaned out because I'm transporting some kids tomorrow for community service projects with our church. I think it will be fun, but I'll have a few hours to kill in the afternoon while they're at the fun event. I think I'll take some stuff to read at the coffee shop down the street. I'll probably bring some homework...that's what I "should" do.
What a long post...I better finish up so that I can do some stuff around the house before work. Perhaps I should race myself to finish the bathroom.
