Needytoo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Changed all the crusher dust to this polymer sand between the patio stones in hopes to keep the weeds down and the stupid things still were growing. I put down a sealer down on the patio and my God that better keep the weeds away. Now I am staining the fence and have to say that is so much rewarding than the patio experience. Nice to see a change right away. Why is it so hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Getting carpets cleaned Monday. They couldn't fit me in this week. It will be nice to move everything back.

Needytoo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Too hot to work outside. Today started (again) on the decluttering. I even read a book called the Japanese are of declutting. She suggests to declutter by category and if you don't love an item it goes. I am use to declutting a room not going by a category but hey I will try it. Today I am working on clothes. Even that is giving me memories. Have to take little cry moments and wow do we have clothes. I am using her suggests on how to fold the clothing and have to say I am impressed. Thanks Trying you just reminded me I need to make an appointment for a hair cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IfIonlycould Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi All! Been away from this post for a bit....impressed to see what you have all accomplished! I have FINALLY gotten to the 80% done point on the back landscape/patio/deck project....whew....and ended up doing most of it myself as the people I had lined up (and was paying!) to help flaked out early on...but goal has been to enjoy summer too in between work and working on the house. I have a busy couple days and need to stay focused and then I am going away for the weekend. So over the next 2 days: Tues: Client work 6 hours. Get stuff to "finish" wedding shower gift. Take back stuff to 2 stores, pick up patio lights. Pack. Plant more bushes on back fence line. Water everything. Weds: Work old job (lv. early) Client work 1 hour. Put everything in car. Take gift to grooms house (going to be out of town for shower). Dust, vac, wash floors. Get excited to head for 4 days of doing nothing and being engaged in nothing! Going on a trip alone and going a where the day takes me type of thing...much needed! Sick of obligations, expectations, ringing phones, emails, texts....now if I can just really allow myself to disengage and let go of the feeling "But you have SO much to do at home."

Virgo Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Enjoy your vacation IIOIC! Sorting through the piles in my room, but my daughters bedrooms and closets are organized (mostly.) They both like more 'clutter' in their rooms than I do. Lol! When I'm done with the piles I'm going to start in the basement. The carpet in my craftroom is dry.

Needytoo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Wow it is hot outside so I am continuing on "project decluttering. I really like the ideal of being a minimalist. My husband was a collector of stuff. I have got rid of so much stuff but so much more needs to go. My oldest son seems to have the same feeling for this, my youngest son not convinced yet or maybe it is because he is lazy and just doesn't want to be involved. Went through my clothes and got rid of a lot of stuff and organized it the Marie Kondo way. I feel a little stupid that I didn't know of this before. Today went through the closet in my oldest son's old room. I found clothes in there I swear when he was 10 years old and now he is 20 years old. My oldest son called at noon and I told him what I was doing and he said he wanted to do it by himself. I am keeping my fingers crossed he is going to do that. Then I moved on to the book cases. Was doing well till I find an old binder which my husband wrote on. Message was some crude remark he use to say all the time but instead of laughing at it, had to have a little cry. Dammit hate that. Had my cry and continued on. Still a very long way to becoming a minimalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Accomplished a couple of goals today. I dropped off the baby gift and sold items at the resale shop. I also bought some more baskets and bins for the basement. I started putting things back in the basement yesterday. I have something else to add to my list for this week. A trip to the animal clinic. We made an interesting discovery last night. Our kitten Penelope seems to have developed berries and a little twig. I'm not a vet, so I could be wrong, but I'm pretty positive we'll be changing Penelope's name to Pennington. That way we can still call him/her Penny or Pen. Our other two cats will eventually need spayed, but I'm more concerned about Penny right now. Always something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmg19 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Goals for next week: 1. Yearly physical for both boys. 2. Eye appointment both boys 3. Dental appointment both boys 4. Annual GYN appointment for me. Every day I will be in a doctor's office. Good news is that I'll start the school year all caught up with medical appointments. Bad news I have large co-pays and savings will take a hit. Better insurance with new job that kicks in Sept. 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgo Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Slowly marking items off of my list. The outdoor chores are my least favorite. That is why they've been on my weekly goals list for awhile. The weather we've been having lately would be perfect though. I need to make myself do it.

IfIonlycould Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Jen-I agree, let's get it going again! Of course I had goals made for this week to work on the outside of the house as I had the end of the week free and a client called and needs me for a job on thursday and friday. Have to make the money while the money is there to be made! All i am going to post for this week (besides work for clients today, thurs and fri and at "old job" on weds.) is to get the rest of the bushes and perennials in the ground, clean the gutters and clean up the annual pots....that's it! but trust me it's enough!

Virgo Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I need to do some maintenance in my landscaping before it starts snowing. My goal for today is to get the Halloween decorations out. I'm going to work on a goal list for next week. We have a busy weekend so I won't get much accomplished the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
