The last couple of days have been by morning shifts for work. I like having my day end at 3pm, so I have a fair bit of the day left, but it also throws off my sleep patterns since I’m normally working until 11pm. So, while I get to come home earlier, I often end up sleeping the evening away anyway.
As for the house, my father came up to work on the house all day while I was at work. I also hired a friend of mine (who is a painter) to work with him. It worked out well because (1) they’re friends and (2) they got a ton of work done. They have two rooms completely painted (including ceilings), and have the third bedroom ready for priming. So, we have the master bedroom, hallway, and kitchen left – they’re still big jobs, but everything feels manageable now. They also were able to get rid of a ton of paint chips so the house feels neat, even if it’s not painted.
I need to take some laundry over to the new house today. We’re way behind on this, but it’s hard to get motivated when you feel like you’re behind on everything. I’d like to get to the gym today too, but I won’t get all mopey if it doesn’t work that way.
Oh, I’ve made the decision today that from now on I will do everything slow and steady – as in choosing the turtle’s approach rather than the rabbit’s. I have a tendency to want everything done now, but since we’re always in-process (physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially) it makes sense to get used to the in-between times and do everything slowly. That’s my opinion for today anywyay ;)
