The beavers are managing to keep a bit of water open. They were out and about again this morning. It was amazing to watch one as it banged into the edges of the open water to break up the ice. The photos above are about the extent of the blue skies I saw. By the time I left the snow was coming down again. We're in for some more tomorrow. Sigh.
I was pretty lazy when I got home. I did sort out a few things, put away a few bits that haven't been put away. And then I just stopped, looked around at the stuff and couldn't work out how to get started decluttering again. I did manage to read through some magazines by my chair. I also managed to sort out 12 books to donate. I suppose that's something. I'll just have to keep trying. Every little helps.
I was going to post an update on watching my budget, but I feel that's going to be a bust this month. Son is moving and we said we would help with expenses and some new-to-him furniture. That's obviously going to be a ding in finances, BUT I am going to plod on with watching other areas of spending. Not sure how that's going to go. Sigh.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Pick it up and put in proper designated place... donation box, cupboard, drawer, bin. Otherwise leave it alone... works for me. Then stop and gloat over what you've achieved, great or small. That's really important; every single thing moved from clutter to cleared is a win. The stuff you can't decide about can be left until the next time!
ReplyDeleteGood tips! Thanks!
DeleteBeautiful pictures of the lake. Sounds like you had a lovely day. Yes, keep track of the budget, even if you are helping your son with his move. Sounds like he was able to get an apartment he liked!
ReplyDeleteThanks. He was able to get one of the ones he liked. It's a little further out than he wanted but it was within his budget!
DeleteThe best-laid plans have a habit of coming unstuck, I find. I hope your son's move goes well.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures! It must be fascinating to see the beavers and their determination to keep the channel open.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the struggle with the budget. Everything is so expensive these days and there are always surprises or one-off claims on the budget. Sending hugs x
Thanks for the comments on the photos. Things are so expensive. I'm really trying to just watch what I do spend and try not to buy just because I want to
