Oh my gosh, the whole week has passed and I haven't posted once. I was pretty sure I posted on Wednesday. Oh well. Things are a bit blah, but life is...well, uneventful and I suppose that's good in a way. I have been doing quite well in the house stuff - sticking to lists and a menu plan. I've been combining trips out, so I don't use as much petrol. It's good in a way as it helps cut down on other spending as well.
I've been out walking every day. It's been a little chilly in the mornings and I'm having to wear a zip up fleece jacket first thing, but it does warm up later in the day. I've even opened a window or two later in the day, though not as many and for not as long. The days are definitely drawing in and the weather changing with it.
Husband took out our window air con unit the other day and today he put up protective plastic on the front porch. Perhaps it's a little too early to worry too much about winter, but he had extra time off and I think he just wanted to get it done.
I am struggling with the decluttering. I need that fairy to come in and just get rid of everything for me. Lol. I know I have work to do, but I'm struggling how to get started again. I'm back on that whole - how much did I spend for that and how can I let that money go. I know that I shouldn't worry too much about that, strike it up to bad decisions and not repeat that going forward but I'm finding it really tough.
Hope your week has been good! I've got to catch up on blogs again. Always behind.
Photo for today - a beautiful sunrise
Oh yes, the 'how can I just give it away when I spent ££ on it' question. With me some of that is guilt, especially if it was a dud purchase... the shirt that was pricey but really doesn't fit, etc. I have reconciled myself to my impulsive nature and just say that the money is dead and gone so just let go of the item too. Sometimes it works!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to adjust my thinking. It's hard though. I really want to let go of some of the stuff though. It's clogging up the house and makes me feel a bit anxious!
DeleteThat photo is beautiful. I love the colors and the way the reflect on the "moody" looking water. I know what you mean about "what did I spend on that." Just this week, we pulled out some furniture from one of our storage pole buildings on the farm. These had been in my "project" pile. Well, snow blew under the door, the weather, years of sitting did NOT help. We broke them apart and plan to burn several pieces. So, money actually "burned." One piece was free....so that helped with my guilt for not "saving" them.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The sunrise was the best this week. So beautiful though the sun was actually rising in the opposite directions. The colours stretched across the whole lake.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of what I'm afraid of with some things. I know I should be able to let them go. There were so many things of Jane's that, when we were sorting through them, had to be thrown away as they were damaged from being stored or water damage. I just find it so hard. I feel like I should at least make something from them. Maybe a big garage sale lol
beautiful photo. Fall is definitely on it's way, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt's my favourite season of the year! I love the colours.
