Painting continues

Burn out is ever-present, but I am trying to push through it.

Taped trim until I ran out of tape.  Still have to finish LR.
Plan today is to get trim done in DR, so I can check it off my list, and then move to hall.  Entry, then LR to follow.
Not looking forward to painting doors and entry closet, but will get done.
Kitchen will follow- still have to finish ceiling, and then walls.
Once the "main areas" are finished, I will feel better, especially if I can get it done by the 1st of July (my self-imposed "due date" to finish).

Bedrooms after that.

Otherwise... watering away.
100 temperature expected tomorrow; no significant rain for the rest of the week- 20% chance tomorrow night.

Three weeks

Three weeks minus one day until Dad arrives.
Not that much time left, and as par- I am behind schedule.  I have to keep the momentum going.

Painting continues.....
Main color in LR and hall finished.  Touch up to do, but otherwise OK.
Looks good.  Different than before- livelier, definitely.
A bit of a burn-out today; not sure what will get accomplished today (with paint).
I'm thinking, after touch ups, maybe start the trim in the DR- lots of taping to do first.

Priority is to get the LR (blinds, furniture layout) and DR (rug, table, layout) together.
Painting kitchen.
Bedroom- clean out, paint, layout.
Paint master bed and bath.

Still no significant rain, so yard work has not been on the agenda.
Easier to pull weeds when the ground is still wet.
On the positive side, I have not had to mow.
Watering when I can, what needs to be.  Sadly, some are just not getting the attention.

Was getting a bit unnerved with David yesterday.
With everything that needs to be done around here, in preparation of Dad's visit (and pending foster placement on the 20th- Did David call?  He said he would.) there are things he could be doing, but he was not yesterday.  Messing with computers, "reading news"...... I understand that when I am home from the summer, it screws up his schedule and he does not sleep as well.  Still, things need to be done and it would be nice if he would step up and just get it (what he can do) done.

After getting the house together.
Weather permitting, I will need  a week to work in the yard.
Two, maybe three days, to scrub this house down.

Plus- final for class this week.  Need to work on study guide.
PLS class starts 01 July, 8-5.

Crazy.

Saturday

Could not sleep.  I believe it is worry that I will not get things done before Dad arrives.
Supposed to be a yard work day, but it is so dry.

1. Gym this morning.
2. Watered plants- will be doing this all day.  30% of showers tomorrow early morning; I'm crossing my fingers.  If we're lucky, we'll get a bit of rain around noon.
3. Continue painting- ceiling in LR (kitchen, if paint left); highlight wall; touch up dark walls in DR.
4. Move furniture in LR to get rug out; move TV and other from DR.
5. Set up DR table.
6. Ceiling fans.
7. Home Depot to restock.

Painting

Chugging away at painting.
Most of the ceilings are done- still have touch-up in the living room, and the kitchen still needs paint.
Going to start the walls in the dining room today.

Changed a couple of the paint colors- just a bit "deeper".  And David wanted something more "blue", not so much green.  Will still work.
I like the lightness now, but maybe a tad too light.

Talking about getting another dog.
I stopped by the shelter yesterday to look at a couple of dogs- poodle and poodle-mix.
Have to make sure to abide by breeds/ breed-mixes that are OK for people with allergies.
But David is right: One project at a time.
Gotta get the house ready for Dad's visit.

Gym schedule going pretty good- nearly three weeks in.
Back to the "Abercrombie" workout- phase 1.
When I can put the time in, the results (thus far) are pretty good.
Still struggling a bit with the "puffy" look, would rather have a strong-lean look, but I'm OK.
Look better in clothes, now to work on looking better with clothes off.
Abs an issue, with specific areas, but the "tire" is lifting.
Still work to do there.

Sent out resumes- no word yet.
Job at Winnebago would be nice (closer), while the others are more politics- thinking that if they call the district for reference, I'll get a call and maybe we'll finally sit down and finally talk about issues.
Spoke with someone from Lambda Legal about Martha's "bullying".  Not sure if anything will come of it.
As much as I like my job, I don't like it just the same.
I know that if I get a new job, it won't be "greener", just a different shade of green.

No rain for a while.
Things looking pretty bad outside.
Watering as much as I can, but there is only so much that can be done without a good, long soak.

Two more classes left and then nothing through Concordia until fall.
Signed up for three PLS classes to hopefully rise up a step on the pay scale.
Also classes for Foster care license to do.
Going to be busy.

Otherwise, OK.
Still fighting procrastination a bit.
Sometimes I get into a "loop" that is difficult to break.
David and I having little arguments here and there.

Things to do.

Stuck.

Stuck in a bit of a rut.
Set goals to get things done (painting), and, for whatever reason, just not moving.

A bit more than procrastination- What is that?
Somewhat akin to my "self-loathing" mode, at least that is what it feels like.
Choosing a particular direction and then it get caught up in a loop.

Not all that much time to waste- less than a month.
And my schedule gets fuller and fuller as the weeks go by.

Just f'in get the shit done.
Why is it such a deal to follow through?

Rain

Finally, some rain.
Serviceberry trees are not doing well; getting tired of watering everything.
It has been a little over two weeks since the last, and before that, only one day close to an inch.
I was hoping for an hour (according to weather.com), but only about 20 minutes of decent rain- now a bit of a piddle, and then stopped. Temperature dropped 10 degrees.  Forecast for rain through 11:30, with possible storm.  I can only hope.

Over at Nancy's the past couple of mornings helping with her garage sale.
Makes me thing that maybe we should have one, but then again, no.

Another coat of paint on the ceiling of the dining room.  Will need to do one more.
A lot brighter in here with the white.
Need to get more paint.

Month minus one and counting.

Beginning

Bit of a tiff with David last night.
Mind is churning.

Not sure where it will lead, but something tells me it is the beginning of something.

Disgusted.

About four days late, if not more, going to clean this house come Hell or high water.
I'm thinking it has been two weeks or so.

Even I am disgusted with the dirt and dust and otherwise disarray.
If I procrastinate any more, I'll be disgusted with myself- just get the shit done.

Slow day.

A bit off this week thus far:

Yesterday, no gym, vitamins and binge on chips.
With Sara, went to 'burbs for dentist and then grocery shopping (Trader Joes and Whole Foods).
Napped.
Signed up for PLS classes to be BA 20 by start of school year.

Today, doubled-up on gym.
Rest of day is a bit slow thus far.

Not a lot of rain, so watering west yard.
Serviceberry trees are hurting a bit- yellow leaves.  Maybe too late.
Have to be slow with it or will have issues with water.

Pared down my list of TTDs today, but the ones from my summer project list are still there.
I know I will get them done, although afraid of making compromises.
Need to get them done.

Confusion with "wedding date."
I thought it was next year, but David said this year.
If it was supposed to be this year and David saw that I was not moving on it and he did not move either, what does that say?

Work issues.
I expected a response to a comment I made and there was none.
What does that say?

Saw a posting for Spanish job at Orangeville.
Emailed principal for application information.
We shall see.

Unsettled state of mind.
Too much to do, too much uncertainty, too much 'blah' and procrastination.

Gym, wk 1

First week of gym done.
Did pretty good all school year, but now I am trying to be more precise.  I don't like the "puffy" look; rather have the "fit" look.  Means I need to lose a bit of weight (seem to always hover around 200) and cut the fat. 
Looking better w/ clothes on.  Would like to extend that to clothes off.

Produced a list of TTDs, most of which need to be done BEFORE Dad arrives in July.
Need to get it done.
!!STOP procrastinating!!

No rain for a while; worrisome.  Maybe Monday.
Watered the plants in the front.

Mom on road trip with Nancy to Monroe, then Florida.

OK.  Time to get things done!

Procrastination will not win!

Realization that procrastination is reining.... not getting as much done as I thought.
Been nearly a week out and things not accomplished.
So much to do.... and I know it.  Why am I sitting on my ass?

Need to kick this to the curb and start getting things done!

Sunday

Amazed with how getting enough sleep on a regular basis.
Feeling so much better.

Sunday-
Need to get organized with projects and other things.
Some things started, but some pushed on the wayside.
Lots to do.

Wonders of sleep

Two nights in a row of eight hours of sleep..... wow.
Such a difference.
I really need to make sure to do this during the school year.
I wonder if that was part of my problem.
