This past week found me working on pieces I haven’t worked on in a year or so: my might be a novel and the buying used stuff website.
Both are things that I hope to sell someday, so I guess I’m feeling like I need to make some $. Both are pieces I have a lot of time and energy into (the website data is 45 pages, for example).
Both got stalled last year. Okay, both are on my queue again, now.
Other things which have been dropped recently:
- Food plan & food waste tracking – not so much dropped as forestalled. The farm food glut starts the end of this month . . . .
- The cleaning plan – also not dropped as set aside because of the cold.
- The absolutely final house purge. Also not dropped, but before the flea market last month I had gotten to all the pieces which were easily accessible here. So a major movement of boxes o’ stuff needs to happen. I have cleared off a bookcase in my office, almost entirely. But the other counters, etc. are heaped high with uncategorized stuff. There’s a crafters “maker space” (a commercial one) in the nearby college town. My idea is to take some of the materials there and USE them or donate or SELL them? We’ll see.
So, things haven’t stopped entirely, but yes, they slowed down a lot. The first major goal was met, that is we did the flea market in April. We donated a lot of the unsold merchandise to a thrift shop on our way out of town. There was a hole in the storage unit. There still is, although I’ve taken 1 load of new flea market gleans to the storage (and I have the beginnings of another).
The next flea market is the beginning of next month.
Hopefully, I will NOT stay sick the entire month, like I have the past month, so this will be much easier!
I have dropped the following:
Early planting of the vegetable garden. Some of it should have been planted last month. Some of it should be seeded RIGHT NOW. I’m not because I feel wretched. Too bad!
What has been planned for this month is to scheudule the chimney sweep coming and also replacing the chimney’s cap. That will do us for another year for that.

I had great plans of digging into organizing at home. I wasn’t expecting how long it’s taking me to recuperate from the long hours at the end of tax season along with other things that need to be done. For instance, this afternoon I had hoped to finish the minutes from our condo meeting. Instead, I took a 3-hour nap. One of these days, I’ll get caught up on sleep!
I get that!
