Organize Your Day

So, in order to have balance you can organize your day. And sometimes if we do not have balance, we can end up unhappy.

Relax
Clean
Fun
Exercise
Cook
Work
Family
Errands/Appts

You can make a pie chart and divide these areas into equal parts. Sometimes I forget to schedule fun into my day. And then another day goes by...and another...until I am stressed and I don't know why. So, I am going to try again to adopt this system into my life.
After you make the pie chart, you can figure out how to apply it to your life. For me: I am going to exercise in the morning, then go to my appts/errands, then clean, then cook, then have fun, then have family time, then relax. And not all of my days will be the same. On Tuesdays, I have an evening appt. that will interfere with my system.
I will be starting the workout blog again. I have not been working out, so I need to do something about that.
I hope this is useful. Remember to put some fun into your life.
This is me. This is my blog.

The Garage Sale



This is the garage sale. I woke up at 5am to start this shin-Check Spellingdig. I was tired by 7am. It was a slow day. Since the city was supposed to have a city wide sale, I just figured that all of the advertising was done. Well, I was wrong. The weekly paper had a page of where the garage sales were. My house was not listed because I didn't know. Some people even had adds in the big paper. Now if I was thinking, and I hadn't changed my mind, maybe I would have done all of that. Instead, I had been waiting for months to have this sale, and 2 weeks before the sale changed everything. The house was tense and I was going on vacation.

Anyway, I did have the sale at the last minute. I did not get everything out, but I did ok. I made $63 and after the sale I started loading my car up for the Salvation Army. If nothing else, I cleared out a lot of clutter.
I will be having another sale in the middle of June. And my sister will be joining me. I will advertise, and I will have more stuff. I will admit, I do a lot better when someone is helping me. I can't wait. I will be getting rid of more craft stuff like material and scrapbooking items, along with ribbon and fibers. I did have a lot of scrapbooking items go---so I was very pleased.
Well, I will go for now. Have Fun. My brother is up and we are going to hit some garage sales and Marc's. He loves that place.
This is me. This is my blog.

Getting Ready for the Garage Sale

I've had so much on my plate this last week that I had decided not to have my garage sale. Since the city of Louisville is having a city wide garage sale, I would not have to advertise. So, today, I decided to have the garage sale. It is eleven o'clock and I don't have anything marked. I have some of my stuff up from the basement, but not all. I will be receiving some help from my sister on Saturday, which will be great.
So, I am going to go to sleep now so that I can get up early to set up and mark the merchandise.
This is me. This is my blog.

Back from my Extended Break



Here is the paperwork that I had been working on. To appeal a case to the government, you better have all of the necessary paperwork in order. Focusing on this task took a lot of effort. I had gone 3 days without showering because I didn't want to lose my train of thought.
And I need to be ready for 2 separate cases. I will have the help of the American Legion, so hopefully this goes smoothly.
The government can decide, however, in my favor without me

going through the hearing process. I do feel that the hearing will put undo stress on me, but it is something that I must do.
I managed to get all of my paperwork in order, and I am quite amazed at how much paperwork I have to prove my case. This is one advantage of "hoarding".
With all of this information, I feel that I have a very strong case well, make that cases.

So, I would like some feedback. Summer is here, and I would like to know your feelings about the blog. Would you like to see it continue through the summer, or would your schedule be too busy, so you would rather pick it back up when school begins again.
I personally just came back from vacationing in Mexico, so I can understand how people have a full summer. Most people want to be outside, not inside on the computer. But, I could be wrong. So, I am going to leave it up to my readers. Do you want me to blog over the summer or not? Would you rather me go to a weekly post instead of a daily post? I am going to try to keep up with the workout post. Being accountable really helped me out, so I am going to start that up again.
Well, let me know your thoughts. I really have no desire to blog to thin air.
See ya. And I hope to hear from you.
