June already!

WOW! It is June already. I have been here almost a whole year. And yet, i still am unemployed and we are still living with boxes. It is time to prioritize. I think being here a year, I should already have that under control, but yet I don't.
I know that getting a job is not easy and I accept that. I need to take care of the box dilemma. Hitting one room at a time and get rid of the "crap". To Don it may not be crap, but if we have not seen, used, missed in the full year plus, it is time to get rid of the junk. I was told to put the ventriloquist dummies on line for sale. That will happen this week hopefully. I just have to get pictures and get them uploaded.
We are going to be travelling in less than a month. I have to also get ahead for class, we are traveling the last week. I also need to get the dog food onto the RV, along with clothing and people food. I think I am going to pick something "alabama" for both Linda and Dianna. Linda will be meeting us at Dianna's house. So it would be nice. I think it is going to be something edible for D and something that can fly for Linda.
I don't know how I feel about this whole trip thing. I guess it is my anxiety staying in the back of my brain. that is something I have always had...the unknown. I figure that this is a trip to get the truck and visit. i don't for see spending too much money cause there is none to spend and I don't have any extra-at least until January when the yearly check comes in.

Work out or not to workout







I had to begin with a few pictures of the house as it looks. I am seeing all kinds of different places that need some work done.






This is the new dining room table. Don't you love the boxes all over the place?


The current look of the office. I even began to take some wallpaper down...what a mess. It is layered on top of more wallpaper!





this is the koi pond before we moved in-the garden is a bit off now because the sewage co. had to remove some of the rock wall to dig and did not put it back. Now we have HUGE holes to fill. I figured posting this picture would help me remember what it looked like prior and how the wall goes around the garden.

Now for the deal of the day..

Do I go to the gym and work out with a great sweat or do I work up a great sweat here at home unpakcing and organizing the rest of the boxes? it is a tough call. Don wants the house to be organized but he thinks/feels it is my job. i think this is because i am home not working and he is at work all day. He must be thinking what does she do all day? Well i do laundry, I dust, I vacuum. I let the dogs out, in, out, in, out and so on. I also weed the gardens, plant flowers and shop for the food. I also have to make sure there are no cobwebs/bugs in the cabinets. OK so i may not be at work like him.


I thinking at the moment that I need to focus on the extra bedroom. The one with the furniture in it. As you can see in the picture-not only furniture but everything else. That is where I need to begin then i can use the closet for clothes and storage. I love the selves in the closets! They are not only built it BUT are deep and there are 2 at the top and some of the closets have extra shelving on the side to say 'sorry for not having a squared closet"
I guess it is closet time....
