Monday, Plans for the week

 I have probably used this before, but this is my feeling right now. I am going with it. 

I had a nice weekend. Had sisters and spouses up for dinner last night. Sissie made Tiramisu, it was good, but not my favorite dessert.  She does a lovely job with it.

The men scouted the greenhouse location and will be here on Thursday to erect it. I am hoping to have all sewing done so I can take Thursday and Friday off.

I think this is possible unless a huge mess of last-minute work comes in here. And with my luck who knows...

We are at that point in the year where I turn off the air conditioner unless it is too hot in the house for guests. Then it is flipped back on for a few hours. This is a small house so easy to cool and heat. 

I will be paying bills before the end of the week, so my first goal this week is to get that done and put to bed. I would like to have at least $400 to put into a Christmas savings, if possible, but without knowing what is instore as far as the monthly spending (last month) I don't know if this will be possible. 

I was able to rip the 5 pairs of pants I was going to do last week but did not finish them.  That is my first order of business today. Then I have an Octoberfest costume that needs to be revamped. Only one wedding dress this week and it is mostly hand work.  I will get started on that tomorrow.

It is so nice to be able to come into the shop and not be overwhelmed with work.  But then again, I am much better at getting things done when I am under pressure.

I went out and sprayed the property on Saturday; I swear weeds are my nemesis. But when you live next to farmland and a cow pasture you are going to get lots and lots of weeds. I will be burning most of the larger ones come late fall when it is past fire season. It is still far too dry here to even attempt burning.

So today:

1. let out 5 pairs of men's trousers, fix neckline on a jacket

2. revamp an Octoberfest outfit and make it larger.

Goals for the week:

1. pay bills

2. try and save $400

3. set greenhouse up

4. pull any garden not producing

That is enough.  I am going to get to work.

Have you any goals for the week? If so, what are they?

Have a great and productive day

God is good
