TWTW - the one where shit got done

Last week was a bag of dicks. I sought solace in solitude, fleece lined leggings, Lori's left behind slides that are now mine, peppermint tea with milk and sugar, and blueberries I shared with los perros. It was a good time to open the winter Fab Fit Fun box I've ignored for a month. These two items are keepers.

To put it mildly, I have majorly slacked on purging and organizing and putting things away in general for a good seven months. It started with my summer fuck it phase, then got pushed to the backburner by shore house things, holidays, travel...you name it, it came before organizing. I mean, I pride myself on organizing, but this is how life is. Sometimes things that are important to you take a backburner for a while. Luckily it's a long life and Saturday was a long Saturday. If I'm planning to take on my whole house, I like to start from top to bottom. So most of my day Saturday was spent on the top floor of the house, purging and organizing shoes, clothes, travel items, beauty products, etc. I also vacuumed under the beds and on the closet floors and packed up some stuff that needs to be moved down to the shore house.

It was good to go through and touch every single thing I own upstairs. No, I did not talk to my items. But I did evaluate them, make sure they all had a place, and trashed (one bag) or donated (five bags) everything that was no longer useful to me, beautiful, or loved by me. Once I purge, I need that shit out of my house immediately in order to truly enjoy the effect, so I dropped the bags and my wedding dress at Goodwill, went to Giant for five things and came out with eleventy billion because I was starving, painted my nails (Sinful Colors Frenzy and another one I forget), and finished Broadchurch and watched some episodes of The Office. All without someone picking my trash because MFD was away for the night. LOL

Sunday while the dogs were snoozing I was doing all sorts of things: sorting mail, changing sheets on our bed and the spare bed, washing everything in the house, putting laundry away, vacuuming inside the ottoman, cleaning soap trays, changing shower curtain liners, answering emails, calling the pharmacy, yada yada yada. All the little adult shit that I haven't had time to do lately.

Weekly food prep: egg muffins with sausage, green onions, and mozzarella cheese for breakfasts; poop soup and oatmeal for the dogs; a spiral ham (not pictured); ham bone soup from the (you guessed it) ham I cooked for dinners and a few lunches; power breakfast muffins to freeze; breakfast burritos to freeze (not pictured); and iced tea with some blackberry honey from our Yellowstone trip. Snacks are celery sticks with PB and blueberries.

This weekend was just what the doctor ordered in regards to me feeling caught up on life again. I was by myself most of the weekend as MFD had a commitment Friday night, was out working Saturday and Sunday, and had an overnight guys' trip Saturday night. It was glorious and it was spent fully in lounge attire.

I spent the last part of Sunday laying around and reading. Speaking of...

Tomorrow!
