The beginning of the month is always busy for me with all the financial stuff.
Throw in what I didn't get finished last week with new goals and the financial stuff and I've got a big big week!
I am tired already...... ;-)
The reservations and the straps to be sewn on the gown won't take long but the rest of it?  Geez!

  1. I was pretty sleep deprived all of last week (did an overnight relay on the weekend, & it took me about a week to catch up). I did manage to: roll over my 401K!!!, get my passport, book my trip to Tokyo (groan) & get our 2015 vacations mostly planned out. That will help with our budgeting for the year, but I also have to request vacation time two quarters in advance. Not everything I wanted, but enough.

    You have some time consuming tasks on your list! ;-)

    1. Time consuming but not undoable. ;-)
      I would hate to have to plan a vacation a year in advance. It's one thing to have it in my head but to actually have to book flights/motels/etc. that far in advance is no fun.
      I like to be a bit more spontaneous....or is that a bit more irresponsible? lol

    1. I'm going to relist all the expired fabric listings and go through what I haven't measured/photographed/listed and get it up on Etsy in September.
      eBay--I'm going to research everything I have left here to decide whether to list it now or not and if it's not worth selling now, it goes.

  4. I could NEVER get all of that done!! Thank goodness I don't have to! My list includes: two hikes that are planned out, a trip to the lawyer's to close my real estate deal (house in PEI), hopefully a trip to the trailer park to purchase a trailer, sorting out my papers now that I have purchased file folders and hanging files for my new desk, some cleaning and organizing (closet under the stairs for starters). That's enough for the next few days. Oh, and a BEACH DAY!! And going out to lunch with other retired teachers on Tuesday (our first day of school). Gotta throw some fun stuff in there Sluggy!!

  5. I started cleaning out kitchen sink. I have weeks of pots that I cannot stand long enough to do. I cannot lean on the sink or counter because of a million ants and I am terrified of ants. I had some really grody stuff that exbf washed outside with Clorox and Dawn in the water. I am doing a load of dishes in the dishwasher every day. Counters, sinks, stove...all dirty because I rarely clean it all at once like was my habit. I will continue a bit each day for as long as it takes. I SWEAR!
