Back on Track

or Back in the rut. Whichever way you want to look at it.

I've decided that whatever happens, I'm preparing for something new. If I stay here, I've gotten rid of lots of old stuff, broken, seldom used stuff and I'm ready to start fresh. If I leave, well, that's pretty self-explanatory.

More Dumping
Since yesterday was so nice and the humidity is still low, I did a little work outside. For many reasons, I didn't plant any new flowers this spring. I collected all the dead ones in the pots, which there are many with the serious lack of rain. I threw out old, plastic pots, some broken terracotta pots and just cleaned up my 'potting bench' in the carport. I finally got rid of all the old paint cans (15 at last count!) and I also straigtened up the crawl space. Those trash collectors will earn their $30/hour today!

So today is painting the master bedroom. I can't put it off any more, I need to finish. I'm planning on painting the bathrooms also, but the color I've chosen may be to dark. I've done it before, painting with a different color, I can do it again. The bathrooms had wallpaper on when I moved in, and after trying to get that stuff off, I'll NEVER wallpaper anything. Too much work, easier to paint.

So I'm off to work! Got a few errands to run this morning, then I'm painting. WoooHooo!

More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'

I HATE wallpaper as well- our house had some that was 50 years old. I'll never put up wallpaper ever. Congrats on getting so much done!
