Thursday, Little things that bother

 I have a list of little things that are actually big things that I just don't want to deal with now or at any time. I have a terrible time with procrastination and I always have. 

Why do I not just sit down and get them done? I mean some would only take a few minutes and then they would quite biting me.

1. call and set appointment for dog to have shots and nails trimmed. (How hard is this, but then I would have to take him, that is the hard part!) THIS TOO LESS THAN A MINUTE!

2. Call and find out why meds have not been delivered (this is important, but where is the #?) Call In waiting for response less than a minute 

3. call pharmacy and reorder meds (I mean 5 minutes) called less than a minute

4.  go pay remainder of bills (leave house and run pay these, I mean really) Took 20 minutes 4 bills paid

5. clean out bill bin and get taxes organized and into accountant. (so painful) found everything I need so now have to do it (less than 5 minutes) Why, why do I let things get so big in my head?  What is wrong with me? My answer would be, "OH, so many things...)

6. go get bloodwork redone (elevated kidney usage)

Okay I am determined to get a few of these done and I bet it takes me no time at all. I just make things bigger in my mind until they are huge, and I just can't do anything. Such a stupid habit.

I have to pick Kelsa up from school today, I have a bride coming in for a final fitting (I hope), I need to finish up those two little boy's items and do at least something about the list above.

I will report back just how long it takes me to do each item, and I know it will surprise me, and you can think, this woman is a nut, and you would be right.

I want to spend tomorrow working on my house, but is that really going to happen?

In quiring minds....

Wednesday, must get moving

 Glitter and chaos will be the name of my new blog, but it will be too much work to set up so here we are. Glitter is optional, the chaos is mandatory.

I was able to get all the hand work done on that wedding dress yesterday, it took quite a long time. Today it is all about the machine. 

Sissie was here after her dentist appointment and she just left. Which means I can get away with doing nothing... She told me to clean my house.  How rude! It is just a little messy and that is mostly glitter.

I do have some major sewing to do today, and I hope I can spur myself on... I mean to sew that is not to play on my cell phone or watch James Bond re-runs. 

It is another beautiful day here, the sun is shining and it will be about 50. I ran to the store last night as I was out of milk and yogurt.  Found three packages of bacon for 75% off. Bought all three. Put two in the freezer.  When I go to the gym tonight, I will stop at Winco for tomatoes and lettuce, as I am hankering for a BLT. 

I received the last of my tax documents so I can start on those, but first I must get some sewing done. The dreaded list.

1. finish wedding dress!!!!!

2. redo collar on a sweater

3. shorten neck on two sweaters

4.shorten sleeve on little boys' shirt ripped

5. shorten sleeve on little boys' coat. ripped

I have a new client, and I always get the hard ones.  A little boy born with one shorter arm and a curvature of the spine.  He is a sweetie. But his alterations are hard.  I am going to design a set of mittens for him. I picked up a couple pairs of cheap mittens last night to mess with and do a prototype. Right now, I have the suit he will wear for his mom's wedding. I get all the really good stuff, right? Lucky me.  Little person called me after picking up his lot and said everything fit well and how grateful he was to Sis and me.  I thought that was nice.  It is always nice to be appreciated as well as paid.

Sissie went to the dentist this morning and she has a dead lip and is talking funny. I won't get much out of her today. Her back fence is being re-done, and I am excited to see it! Just need to get over there before dark.

Well, I could sit here all day and type, but I do have work to do, drats! Tell me something exciting that is happening in your life. Or tell me something not so exciting. Just tell me something. I am desperate for news of others. THAT WAY I CAN SEE MY LIFE IS NOT SO MUNDANE.

The mundane life, could be a name for another blog. I am just full of ideas today.  

How about the idea of working? Not so keen on that one.

I am off, and not just to get something done...

Tuesday, Sick grandbaby

 I woke up to my dog barking and this little beauty coming through the front door.  Only she was holding a collapsable vomit bag in front of herself. She also looked a little worse for wear. mom took off for the office, and I got to snuggle the punk.

So far, she seems to be doing okay just not nearly as rambunctious as usual. She is watching cartoons and burrowed into the sofa.

Aunty Kay is busy sewing ribbon onto Nez Perce tribal skirts. Lucky her! I was able to get all the little person things done yesterday.... YIPPEE!!!! Today it is about a wedding dress. I hope to finish that today.

There are things that I really need to concentrate on today and I am having a hard time remembering them. I need to finish paying the bills, then start a new savings chart, try and get all things taxes in a pile so I can do those and get them turned in by the end of the week.

Anne in the kitchen has been making me jealous as she cleans through her cupboards.  Mine need it so desperately and I just can't get to them, or maybe I am in avoidance mode. I will just live vicariously through her cleaning and not do mine.  Sounds like a great idea.

It is a beautiful clear sunny day here and about 45 degrees will probably get to 50. I fed and watered the chicken's this morning and realized I need to go get more chicken food to fill the reservoir. I also checked the green house, and it is not quite time to start plants. I have always started them in the house but this year I am going to start them later in the green house.

It has been such an unusually warm winter, but we could still see some really cold snowy weather.  We have been fooled many times and then had horrid weather in March and into April. So, I am not holding my breath.

I am going to check on the punk and get to work!  Any plans for today?  Does anyone want to come and clean my cupboards?

Monday, Not a restful weekend

 My goal is to get through the week.  I am a little drowsy.  Sissie is here sewing up a storm, and I am doing well nothing.  Tried to pay the bills but one website is down, so nix that. Need to write a few checks, might get that done.

What I really need is a nap.  It was a running weekend. Signe' and I decluttered Kelsa's room and rearranged furniture I don't know how many times. We exchanged dressers without painting as Signe' decided she like the shabby chic look.  Which is fine for now. 

We took our friend to a musical at the winery and left at intermission as she was getting sick.  Then home and up Sunday to go to church.  I had Kelsa Saturday night and that was fun and tiring at the same time.

But I felt like I ran all weekend, I think next weekend I will just stay home and rest.  No going a hundred miles an hour.

I will finish little person clothes today and work on a wedding dress I want out this week. Actually, would like to get three dresses out this week as there are 8 in the shop right now.  With more coming in all the time.

Just a report on January, I had 9 no spend days, and spent $67.00 on groceries, as I ate out of the freezers and cupboards. But I still have a long way to go to get through all the food in the house.  Really need to get through the pantry, but I think I might be afraid of it. 

Did not get any cleaning of cupboards done last week, probably won't get any done this week either.  But I might surprise myself.  

Now I need to get busy. 

Hey, we got through January with joy and I am proud of us!  Now let's do the same in this month of love!
