Projects Ahead

I have been away from my blog for a while. Things were very busy and then I got sick. It seems that I have had little energy to do much of anything. However, I am beginning to feel like I am pulling the pieces back together again since I have some rather big projects to get done.

Project 1
One of them is my office. I finally have bookcases!!!! Now I need to haul in the boxes and unpack them. For over three years I have had all my office stuff packed in boxes in the shop at the house. So now I am grabbing a couple of boxes everyday and trying to get them unpacked and put away. That has been challenging but I have two big boxes in my car today that I will bring into the office before I go home for the day. So the project is moving ahead.

Project 2
I still have all of my sister's things stacked in my front room. It all needs to be sorted and stored. I need to get that done before the end of the month. I have to admit that I am tired of not being able to use the front room. I find it not only to be a tough job, it is very emotional for me as I sort through a large part of her life. It brings back how much I miss her so clearly. So I find myself putting off just wading into it and getting it done. But it is time to get 'er done,

Project 3
Over the 9 months my son has lived me, his "stuff" has overflown every area. One of the things I do every day when I get home from work is to walk around the house and pick up his clothes, his dishes, his laundry and other various and sundry items and  put them in his bedroom. But on of the areas I have not kept up on is the garage and it is now officially a mess. I love my son, but he is an archaeologists dream ... he leaves a trail everywhere he goes. He is also a pack rat, so it is past time to ride herd on his stuff in the garage and get things put away.

Of course besides these projects I also have house cleaning to do, sermons to write, counseling appointments, visitation and all kinds of meetings. Besides the work, there are also friends to see and hopefully some camping to get done as well.

Now if I can just get my energy level to keep  up with the projects ....
