Good morning
I am making an effort to up my game and track how many hourly challenges I can do today. The mornings are fairly easy but as the day continues my focus & effort wanes.
>>>skippable....thinking out loud<<<<<
I requested an informal meeting with DH. I wanted to discuss my gut feeling that we should be together more. DH is clear thinking 99% of the time but is starting to do some confusing things. I want to be able to watch him closer. This morning DH forgot how to make our daily tea. We have been making our daily tea the same way for years but today DH got confused. It is a very simple process - put tea bag in quart jar and pour hot water over. DH put the correct tea bags in part of the jars but instead of tea bags he put other items in the two of the jars. It is weird for him to do that. I want to be more observant.
DH most used chair is on one end of the house and mine is located on the other end of the house. There are two closed doors and about 75' of space separating us most of the time. I want to change the location of our chairs to the same room. We discussed the 4 possible rooms that would accommodate us both. DH chose to move to the same location as my chair.
DH watches TV so that means putting us in the same room will include a TV. I haven't watched TV in many years so I expect it will be an adjustment for me. The room I stay in most of the time has 13 individual chairs, a 12' wooden church bench. 8' dining room table, 2 full size desks and 5 misc tables. To move DH chair, 2 side tables and his 70" TV into "my space" means some of this furniture needs to go. At a minimum, I will have to remove a desk, 3 chairs and a table. Where am I going to put those? Two of the chairs are sentimental (my grandmother's chair and my mother's chair) so I want to keep them. Hum.... I need to start moving furniture and try out different possibilities. I have furniture that has no sentimental value that can be given away. I need to think about each of the chairs and decide if it should be kept or given away. If kept, then where to relocate it? Repeat. Repeat.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
