Hump Day Poll
Good day to you all on this last Wednesday of August! We have been in the declutter mindset but many of you know I get overwhelmed by where the heck to start because of our small, less than 1000 sq ft abode. I've gotten help from things like sliding baskets in cabinets, little things that help with space like mug stackers for mugs, and of course little pantries to be able to stock up on stable stuff when sales roll around. Those things help when you've got a home in mind but for me, it's how to mentally push myself to start because it all looks so untacklable. (New word alert.) One of the best pieces of advice I ever got on that front was from my friend who said to tackle one small section at a time. Like, say in your kitchen - do 1/4 of the total countertop area.

I hope you guys have a good weekend and can get out and enjoy some time away from the house. Very busy week ahead of me starting tonight. I'm filling in for my friend/former coworker at my old caregiving job as she's going on her first vacation in six years of working there.

So I'll need to get a lot done today after work and over the weekend. Both cars are back from the various mechanics, so that's a big help. Have a great weekend!

DeleteIt has been a weird week but thanks to a particularly disruptive coworker being out all week, I actually got a lot done at work. So I earned my weekend for sure and am looking forward to it. Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope he announces that'll be permanent so you can actually do your job instead of listening to him bitch 4 hours out of every day!
