Can't believe its August already! dear Nancy.

today: room attack: I work on one room a day for 2 hours. I promised dh I would focus again. so today is garden

[Harriet]

I enjoyed Nancy's Ds last month.

blessed, how many rooms are in your rotation? 2 hours each would give you enough time to really make a difference.

I love 15s because so often I have to take only small amounts of time when I have them. But really getting into a project can't happen that way. You need to be able to leave things in a good mess for longer than that to ultimately get them looking right.

Thanks Harriet. The coffee is on & I'm done with my walk, watered the back yard, and picked up apples. New scheduling this mo. dstep grand son so will be hanging out with his bro. and they are going to the water park. Dgd will be here today. Groc. list to complete. And journaling to do. Laundry awaits. Projects card to make list is growing chemo hats plus puppets. Started one last night and ran out of yarn so will rip it back a bit and this one will be striped zoom! Gotta run now.

Hey there bw2 it's so good to see you.

We watched dgson's first swimming lesson that was very enjoyable I was glad to be there as dd's car did not start h. took her to work. I waited with the boys at the pool, glad I had m & m's for snacks after for them, no shirt, shoes, or towel;
so we just waited dd had that stuff with our in the car trunk.
A new plan for swimming lessons is going to be a learning adventure this week and tweaking as needed.

Checking in I got the kitchen and dining room floors swept and mopped this weekend so glad that I did as today was groc. day here, plus we watched dgson at his swimming lesson, and I have granny duty.

The Realtor was here; could not get her & hubby to hold off for a week so I could clear out what I needed and wanted to get out of here. Big sigh any way we are getting the stuff sorted that we can. I did a counter clearing out of the storage zone. Glad to get that done.
The basement now looks better than the upstairs. H. is not having fun letting go of stuff cleaning out his office. I have brain over load so I'm taking a break.

Have part of the folding table I use for a desk cleared off.
My foot is hurting so I"m sitting down trying to do things in the rolling office chair.

I dust as I was doing my rounds glad that I got to that.

One large overstuffed chair that is leaving is now out on the deck and that made room for my ex. bike, moved the couch and love seat and the love seat is going also. Dstepgrandson is taking piano lessons so dd will take her piano. Hugh sigh of relief.

I've vacuumed the living room hall and the tool room. Got that sorted out a bit and it's better. H. is letting go of half a doz. motor-cycle helmets that he does not need I've dusted them off. H. went through coats some were his dad's. Hats too. Phew he's taking a water break too.

I told him work till he gets brain over load then take a break.
I still need to vacuum the bedrooms / offices.
There are some smaller items to go in the car still but I'll wait until it's cooler outside to finish up with that.

Another round done living room is reclaimed once again I've cleared the blankets books and toys out of there and put them in a container in the creativity room. The back of the truck is full now and I've gotten the things that go in the car trunk loaded.

Picked up the apples and delivered them to the field for the deer.
H. it doing an inventory of tools & tool chest other stuff in his tool room and then going to call dson to see what he wants.

No longer feel stuck and moving forward how ever slowly it is progress.
