Monthly Archives: November 2007

I actually had a productive Monday……..that was even after having a hard time getting out of bed.

I woke up when Harold did, but I just didn’t want to leave the warmth of the blankets.  It usually takes me about 20-30 min to roll out of bed just because of that.  I lay there enjoying how comforty the blankets are, since it is so chilly once I leave the bed, but then my back and neck start aching for being in bed for more then 7hrs, I get restless and then all I can think about is brushing my teeth.  So I finally move my ass out of bed.

I did some of my morning surfing, jumped into the shower and then attacked some of the errands I needed to get done. Once all that was done, I attacked my online work and messages.  Got a bit done, which I better have because I spent all afternoon and evening working on it.  =)

I’ve spent the last few hours folding our xmas letter and stuffing them into the cards.  Other then 2 cards, the are all stamped and ready to go.  So I’m pleased.

I’m ready for bed on one level, but want to work or read on another…….caught in between………I think I’ll finish up one of my magazines.

After now doing things for the 1st few days of the week, I actually got a few things done the last few days. I had to force myself, but I was active project wise.

Friday I did go for a walk, went to another part of the neighborhood, hoping to find another short cut out of it. Nope, dead end. But it was about 40 and sunny. Started out very chilled, especially when the wind gusted up, but easily worked up a sweat.

When I got back, I actually got some online work done. It was hard, I’m in the shut down, want to avoid everyone and everything mode. I hate it, but it is hard to fight it.

Saturday, I actually got to going through all the pictures of the rv trip and getting them into galleries. That took forever, since there was about 6000 of them. Then it took almost 24hrs to get them all uploaded to the server. So that finished up this morning. I still have other pictures that I’ve taken that I need to get done, but the big project is done. I’m going to try and finish the little ones up sometime this week because I should be coming back from IN with a bunch of pictures from my mom that I’ll need to work on.

I worked on a holiday letter, my 1st and probably only one. But I wanted to let family members what was going on, plus I brought some holiday paper last year on clearance that I wanted to use. I love the decorations. =) Took awhile to print it out since I added a picture of Harold & I at the Painted Desert. But it came out pretty good, just need to fold them all to put into my xmas cards.

Which leads me to my next project, got all the cards labeled and signed……..just need to put in the letter, stamp and send out. I do have few that I want to make special notes in.

Then Sunday’s have become my clean the house day. The trash gets picked up on Mondays so I attack the cat litters, vacuum the whole house and gather the trash. Next week I’m going to have to attack the bathrooms since I’m leaving on the 5th for 10days. It feels good to get some physical labor in. There is some simple satisfaction in been able to see a job done.

Tomorrow I need to pick up some holiday looking stamps. I saw some nice Northern Lights stamps, so it gives the feeling of the season with the religious overtone.

I did get the rest of The Lord of The Rings books done. 4 books in one week, not bad. =)

Well, need to get to bed. I have been staying up too late the last few nights.
