Day 186 - Housework. Bummer.

Dear Friend,

Well, those days are just clicking away, aren't they?  I want to have my life rebooted in 186 days!  That means being unpacked, the decorating of the house finished, working it regularly, seeing the dysautonomia specialist, exercising regularly, doing yoga at least two days a week, finding a church and getting involved with it, getting my sleeping needs more regulated, finding a prolotherapist and staying on top of torn tendons, etc., getting in top of having groceries delivered in a timely manner to the house, cooking and eating much more healthfully,  and writing again.  Piece of cake, huh?!

I spent today mostly doing housework, things had gotten out of control quickly.  I'm finding having a large kitchen island to have its drawbacks, because it collects clutter like nobody's business.  The little vacuum I bought is so great and lightweight.  But the electric steam mop was a mistake.  At least not a terribly expensive mistake.  It is just so hard to push.  Hurt my arm really badly using it in the kitchen and den today.  Plus, it doesn't sterilize unless you leave it in one spot for 15 seconds.  And y can't out a cleanser in the water container reservoir.  You're supposed to just use clear water.  I don't like that so I tried spraying the floor with 409 before steaming it in one area, and mixing water with some cleaner and pouring it out on the floor.  I don't think it cleans very well either way.  Bummer.  I have to figure out some way to be able to keep the floor cleaned from all the urinating my Jack Russell does on the floor.  She just doesn't even care now.   I found some pee on the floor, so I thought to let her out for a bit while I cleaned it up.  I saw her pee outside. But then she came in and peed in the same exact spot.  What in the world's up with that??

I am definitely gong to work tomorrow on writing.  I have a great article idea, and I'm not going to let this one slip away and never get written.  I'm pretty excited about it and I think it will have a very strong hook.

I cooked a pretty healthy dinner this evening.  I sautéed catfish with a lot of seasoning, steamed basmati rice and cooked english peas and broccoli and heated up some gluten-free ciabatta rolls.  Sounds pretty good, right?  Except for what I ate while I was cooking-- these little gluten-free, dairy-free lemon cookies!  They are small and light and delicious, and I ate a bunch!

So, I'm about to turn in for the night.  So much work to get done.  It just doesn't seem to let up.  Have to finish decorating for Christmas tomorrow and get. The last of the gifts ordered and finish the laundry.  Sooooo much of my time is being taken up with laundry!  And I still can't seem to stay on to of it.

Have a great day tomorrow!
