Not sure what got into me today but .....

I actually had a bit of a productive day.  Granted all I did was put a basket of laundry away, lol.  But as I was doing so I clean up and gutted each of my dresser drawers.  Two dresser equaling 8 drawers in total. Then I set my sights on my closet. 

It takes a beating Christmas time.   It is where I hide all the Christmas gifts.  Where I put away pictures plus odds and end that gets displaced because of my Christmas decorations.  I didn't get rid of as much cloths as I thought or hoped.  But I have decided that as I take out something to wear and it doesn't work it goes in the donate bag and out it goes. 

The bottom of the closet didn't get touched much.  That has four big plastic totes full of stuff that need to be gone through.  Which is on my list to do this winter.  One tote is my sons school things, another is my daughter school things.  The third one has various stuff belong to me and the last one is a bit of everything.  Which has some wooden bird house and such that are suppose to be projects for me and my daughter to paint. 

Got lots to keep me busy now that the winter is here and I hoping this is the start of my being productive.  Fingers crossed ......

Resolutions .......

Not sure if I am going to make any to be honest.  Never seem to make it past the first week or two and they are forgotten.  Have thought of a couple I would love to do like :

The mason jar - you spend the year filling it with hand written memory notes, then at the end of the year you take them out and read them.

Take a photo a day -  it is just what you think, take a pic a day and post it.  Only thing with that one is you really need to be a person that goes somewhere everyday.  Maybe it can be modified to post a pic a day and when I do go out stock up on some pics to get me through the days I don't go out.  Or some variation.

Exercise -  would love to get back to the gym, but without a car to get there and it being winter, pretty hard to do.  I know, excuses.   But it just isn't fun waiting in the freezing cold for the bus.  Maybe I need a gym buddy with a car. lol  I do have a treadmill at the house so I am defiantly getting back at that.  It is something at least.

Eating better -  that is a given, which I tend to do for the most part everyday.  I find if I get to restrictive I am miserable and I fail.  So I watch my portions on those things that aren't as good for me. 

Read now -  I have a challenge on Goodreads to read 52 books this year.  I made my goal last year but there was more comics in the list then books.  So not sure if that was a fail or not.  But reading is reading.  Finding quiet time is hard most times.

Have fun -  whether that be putting a puzzle together or a Lego.  Going for a walk, once the winter is over, of course.  Watching tv, listening to music, playing a game.  What ever it may be just do it.

Well as this list gets longer, I guess I will be making some resolutions after all.  Or maybe I should just take the pressure off and do the best I can each day.  Take each day as they come and make them the best day for me.  Lets see what happens.

Ideas come at all the wrong times....

Don't you just hate that.  Let me explain.

Ideas come to me when I am suppose to be sleeping, in the shower, when I am out and about running errands, and just anytime I don't have a moment to write it down or have paper on me to.  Now that isn't the totally truth my cell phone has a voice recorder app, I could just leave a recording like I do for my gym workouts, (time, distance, calories).   But I am never alone and I sure as hell not going to try and explain what I am doing to someone just so they can look at me like I am crazy.  They just don't get it.

 It is frustrating to me to not be able to get these awesome thoughts out and down on paper or online, like I am doing now.  I am currently distracting myself from some work that is being down that is driving me crazy.  Getting off topic here, I do that alot too. lol  That and like now or should I say before, I got interrupted and had to walk away from my post.  Now I am not sure where this train of thought was taking me.

Bottom line I love to write about things, some random thoughts provoked from a line in a song or from seeing or thinking of something random.  Yes after all these years of being a mother and still one I do have a brain left.  See another great post idea that I won't get too, barely finding time to finish this one. sigh
