That’s right, we lose an hour on March 8th, so the evenings will be brighter moving forward, which means spring will soon be here, and we can rid ourselves of all this snow, grey gloom, and brown bare trees. As the weather turns we can get outdoors more without the temperature hurting our faces, and outer extremities. That’s a good thing. I for one am here for it.
I’m still busy, but that’s cool. Hours worked mean invoices coming my way, and that’s fantastic. Excellent even. I forgot to send out some invoices last night because I was working until ten trying to get some high priority stuff off for a client. Then I started in on some promotional materials, and that was cool, but I was getting tired, so I stopped. I need to go back to it today to finish up though. Glad for the work.
I need to build a rig for my computer so I’m not hunched over so much when I sit down to do my paid day job. My floors are rock hard so I don’t want a standing desk either. Maybe a better chair would help? I don’t know.
This weekend is still pretty chilly, but I have some more thoughts about items to put in my friends rented dumpster. I have some old doors I can be rid of, which would be cool to remove from the garage. Along with several busted bird houses, and wooden boxes, and other scraps. Like those that came from my garbage bin box that I had to take apart in December/January. I don’t know if my wife still wants to keep the train table, but I’d pitch that too, if I can. I have some log cut offs from the cottage remodel that I can’t really do anything with. I’d like to see my busted up cut off bin thrown out too. I have until Wednesday, so I’ll make a list to get to for tomorrow.
I think the tiny bicycles and snowboards should be donated to charity, and not tossed into a landfill site. I cleaned out the shed before, so I’m stretching for items to throw away at this point. Not looking to make trash just to throw away, but I’ve been purging successfully since my youngest started school five years ago, and I’m down to just the last bits & pieces! That’s terrific, really. I never thought a day would come when we’d have all the really big junk out of the house. I’m pumped!
We will always struggle with clothes, because my wife & kids are clothes horses, that need items in multiple colours, and have far more than they need, or even wear. The laundry baskets versus the closets and drawers don’t lie. 60-70% of the clothes they own, they do not wear. But if I get rid of it everybody freaks out. It sucks that we have to keep every seasons clothes out together. We have no seasonal clothing storage solutions as of yet. If we didn’t have three totes of costumes, we could remove summer/spring gear from their closets, and rotate through, but that takes timing, dedication, and adherence to the rotation. Three things they aren’t known for. For some reason limiting their wardrobes to only the items they actually wear frightens them. They think they’ll be poor if they do that. But why keep sixty pairs of pants when you only wear right of them consistently? Why keep thirty sweaters when you only wear seven of them? Wouldn’t you rather have the room/space back, instead of keeping things, just to have things!?!
I’m getting drawn back into an internal argument I have all the time, so I must digress. Before I work myself into a lather. Have a nice Saturday, the last day of February at that!
