Go you!
We never seem to get house projects started, it seems. At least this house isn't a fixer upper. After 25 years of marriage, I insisted on that when we bought this one--I learned from the first *2* houses . . . in my defense, the second house didn't *look* like a fixer upper, but it was . . .

How to fix a broken drywall is way simple than you think!

A week of bad sleep. Leaf blowers outside the library. So hard to concentrate today.
This week I have actually been really checking things off of my to do list, even though it feels like a bit of a blur. I made weekly housecleaning goals this month that have felt very doable. I clean the kitchen every day, I do laundry on Monday, I do yoga at least twice a week, I dust something, I do something to the floors (vacuum, mop, sweep), clean the bathrooms every Friday. I never have to do The Whole House, just doing something is enough. Weekends are for video games and movies and letting myself relax. I mean, I still clean the kitchen and cook every day. Anyway, the point is, two weeks into this routine, and I have kept it up.
March 5, 2024 – 65/365 – Distracted by General Hospital while I put the dishes away.I decided to pay attention and I spend 3-4 hours every day in the kitchen, cleaning and cooking, EVERY DAY. That’s where my time goes I guess! I also watch General Hospital and Mad Men and listen to music and dance and sing and it’s a good time I have in the kitchen.
I take my 365 self portrait every day and I started a #100happydays because it cheers me up to think of something that makes me happy every day, but it makes it very hard to remember to shoot any video (for my 1 second everyday OR my vlog letters for family). Sometimes I feel pretty silly, like oh no! I have too many self inflicted creative pursuits. What a problem to have! It’s all good.
#100HappyDays highlights
10. New Doormat! 11. Put Spring Bits in the wreath! 16. Framed this poster I got Shaun for Christmas! I also framed this rad painting my mom did for Shaun for his birthday.I’ve been really all over this place this week. The restless legs of my youth have returned and I have had trouble getting to sleep every night this week. I ordered Magnesium, so hopefully that will help. I have been feeling so happy and in love and sad and weirdo beardo. I think some of it is my intense body memory. One year ago I was about as stressed as I have ever been as we waited for all of the house buying stuff to come together. It is like my body says hey! as spring creeps in, you feel like THIS, remember? Happy! Excited! Terrified! You want to vomit! Undoubtedly with a dash of perimenopause thrown in because I’m definitely feeling some hormonal upheaval. Whee!

Another small "honey do" item completed. Ran a power cable hiding run. Every Christmas we run a power cord along the wall to the top of stairs rail. Walker always caught it and pulled it out. Now hidden along the wall and cannot be pulled out. It is white so it is semi hidden along the baseboard.
Sortganize! is today (Wednesday the 14th)! Can’t wait to see you all today at 6ET 5CT 4MT 3PT 8pmGMT to sort, organize, and declutter. I’m excited to share a kitchen tip that was a GAME CHANGER for me this week!
