Bride came to pick up today and she cannot find the veil she bought. So, I am quickly making one up today. Add that to the list.
I sewed very hard yesterday trying to get the piles done, but alas I did not get what I thought were 4 nightgowns shortened. Actually, there are 6 to shorten. I also found three more piles to complete when I started to dig. Add to 4 piles now the bridal veil and that is my work for the day. Say nothing about the 12 wedding dresses taunting me from the rack.
I did strip the bed in the master bedroom, and I have the mattress pad out on the line to dry. I have decided to take a two-hour break today from sewing and clean house. Why you ask? (Because you are all so fascinated by my antics, not) Because son in law rented a carpet shampooer and is coming down this afternoon to take it back and offered to shampoo the high traffic areas in the house. Therefore, they have to be picked up and vacuumed. I am not going to turn down free carpet cleaning.
So, I am going to set my timer to 15-minute intervals and see what I can get done in two hours. I have the family room, the kitchen, the master bath and spare bath, the dining room, and dusting the spare room. Then I have to mop all the floors, as they are disgusting
I just do better when I set a timer, it keeps me motivated. The hardest thing for me is not getting distracted. I have a tendency to over-do and then make a bigger mess than I started with. ADHD at its worst. I can stay on task for 15 minutes at a time, most of the time. I think this is what sewing is good for me. As a pair of pants is a task and I can complete it in a few minutes and then jump to the next thing. It is the jumping to the next thing before the task is complete that throws me.
By the way the grocery adds were hopeless. I mean nothing I would buy. So, it is just milk, tomatoes, and soda this week and the rest can go into savings. Also, just got 4 more bills, hospital, power, internet, but I need to get stamps, have to remember that at the grocery store.
Should I make a list? If I do, I can stall cleaning for a while...... You can see I am just so excited about this, right? Blah!
