Crash and burn

Heh I knew that exercise was bad for me.  I never managed to do another baby step after that.  I tried but failed.  Time to start all over again.  Day 1 again.  Been reading the daily digests and reading a lot about back door flying and flying in through the side door and I think that is what I need to do.  Sorry FLY lady gonna have to skip some of your steps for my own good.  But I don't think she will mind anyway as she wants us to adapt the system for our own use.  We don't have to do everything her way or anyone else' way either.  Our way.  My way.  What works for me and my household.  I like keeping lists close to me but I don't like creating excess trash.  I found that a 3x5 index card folded in half fits in a CCG (Collectable Card Game) Card protector easily.  I have managed to declutter most of my Magic The Gathering cards out of my house.  I sold the vast majority and kept a few.  I have found other uses for the card sleeves one of which is to hold my todo lists.  They work well with Dry Erase pens too so I keep one of those on me and mark items off as they get done.

Took me a while to get my butt out of the dumps.  Depression is a real killer.  Took me going with OES sisters on an afternoon/evening road trip out to Harriman to the Dyllis Chapter for their official visit.  Had a blast.  I just needed some spur of the  moment outings.  The trip to the Farmers Market downtown was another Blast for me.




I did managed to clean out my MBR for the most part but clutter is creeping back in.  Perhaps this weeks missions will assist in helping me get it permacleaned out (sorta)  You see one of the favorite hotspots in my house is the bed.  And well in order to go to bed it has to get cleared off.  Most of the time stuff gets shoved in the floor, on the dresser or desk and I end up tripping over so much crap it ticks me off.

Well I went ahead and with the hubby's permission ordered some FLY tools.  Am looking forward to using the Sweepa on  my carpet in the LR.  You almost cant tell what color its supposed to be for all the white dog fur.  I am still gonna use my swiffer for most floor cleanings tho  I love that thing so much.  Have hardwood floors thruout and the carpet in the LR is an area rug that the dog loves because when she sits or does anything other than stand there she doesn't slide around.  Found that music or some kind of sound is essential.  Have to have it to clean.  Found another tool.  HGTV.  Watching their shows motivates me.  Only one problem we don't have cable anymore.  Solution: they have full  programs on their website but the commercials are a bit short for getting stuff done in.  Yup I clean during commercial breaks.  Have to move laptop round the house tho and that can get a bit annoying but it helped me do the mass clean on the MBR the other day.  Lets pick a show and do it again after I do my MR...
