Spring Cleaning...

Still have not made up my mind about this Blog, I haven't really been thinking about it, instead I've been enjoying our spring weather and getting some outdoor spring cleaning done. One day it was cleaning in the garage for 4 hours - I'v acquire a multitude of stuff and needed to get it sorted out, thrown or better organized in order to get more floor space etc. Intend to buy a new refrigerator/freezer (probably an Amana - bottom freezer type - recommended by CR and will be energy efficient) and have to make room in order to get it into the house.

Then yesterday, I spent 5 1/2 hours trimming, raking, and loading lawn bags (those tall paper types) with assorted yard waste in the back yard...mine and Alba's though I haven't finished with Alba's yet. I did manage to fill 11 bags which are all sitting in the garage taking up my newly arranged space...LOL Can't put them to the road for pickup until the 15th/16th of April - that our week to put things out for the City to take. Expect to have more by then - need to take down an old shed and get rid of that stuff as well, also need to work on the veggie garden portion of the yard...that I need to roto-til and put up my trellis's in anticipation of plantings to come.

But not today...I'm gonna just take it easy, and relax, maybe catch up on housework and paperwork. It's Friday and my day to rest, of curse if the weather stays nice...then I might go back outside...so far it's been nice and dry.

I really should do paperwork...yes that's what I must concentrate on today...

This Blog...worth it or not?

I also need to focus and decide on the value of this Blog. Do I continue to censor my thoughts, my writings? or Do I write my inner most thoughts, ideas here and problems that plague me without censorship and let the chips fall where they may?

I do censor some things now and some things I don't write about at all...perhaps a separate journal hand written like my Grandfather's Diaries would be best....

We'll see...

Life as we know it...

Life as we know it... actually Life as it is... a stressful series of trials and tribulations.

The past few months have been ... let's just say unpleasent. No focus, no direction just languishing in the muddied waters of indecision. I need to set some goals, I NEED to focus on myself and rather than others. Priorities need to be determined, plans made and action taken...or I can just continue to languish in an abyss of mediocrity or maybe depression.

In short I need to do something. Make a list (I've many of those laying around) and then check the tasks off as they are accomplished, but there are other things I also need to do aside from just tasks, I need to exercise my thoughts, read a book vs. watch the boob tube or sit in front of a computer screen all day.

Boy how I wish the weather would warm and spring would get here for good...the gardens need work, the yard...at least it would be something physical and something for me. Not that I couldn't go to the parents house and do an ENORMOUS amount of cleaning and tossing there, then there's Thelma's racks and racks of papers to organize....tasks that hang heavy over my head.

Plus they will be coming back from Texas and after this last episode...I dread the phone call that will ask me to fly down and drive them back as they are just not able to do it...then turning the water and heat back on with all the myriad pipes to resecure, valves to shut and so forth and the inevitable leaks that occur afterwards.

Life...a series of trials and tribulations.
