It is time to reset ourselves for the work week! I use Sundays to get ready for the upcoming week. For example, I will be making some French bread to use this week instead of sliced bread. The house is still undergoing the summer deep clean and purge. Yay things are getting done but boo my unseen house residents are not happy and even the spirit box activity has picked up. But I do need to get things done, so have a wonderful day and a better week.
I am turning everything down and relaxing until I work again on Monday afternoon. Why, because I have been busy and stressed all week. Due to a shift in my work, this will be my last full weekend off unless I need one. I am okay with that because I am off on Sundays anyway. So I am planning on getting things done in the house. I plan on deep cleaning a section of my living room to make it feel like it has a better flow. I laugh when I say that, as we live in a haunted home. But I hope that will calm the activity down. I hope you all have a great weekend, I know I will!
How is your day going? Good, I hope. Today has been a busy day so far. I got the newest babies running around and fed, cleaned out their cage, washed and hung a load of laundry on the drying rack, and made stuffed peppers for dinner, as I work until ten tonight! Does anyone prepare for late work nights like this? I hope you all have a wonderful day, and remember to take care of yourself!
Happy Monday, all you amazing people! How are you all doing today? Remember that the day is what you make it! Today, I have finished my laundry, fed the newest babies in the home, and finished all my freelancing! So I feel accomplished even before I work today! I want to get some more spring cleaning done before I start work. However, I want to finish more writing. As it's Monday, you never know what will get done, finished, or completed. Whatever happens during your day, I hope you have a great one!
I hope you all have an amazing Easter, or a calm and peaceful Sunday if you do not celebrate Easter!
Like the picture above, when trying to find a balance in your life, you can feel like the aftermath of a storm. (Thanks, Milton) I work forty hours a week, and then after, I freelance, write, and handle everything else in my life. Some nights, I get four to five hours of sleep a night. My balance is off. When I have a day off from work, I feel behind on everything else in my daily life. But when working, I make a to-do list of what needs finishing when I am off work. Am I alone in this? Not at all. But changes are on the horizon for my balance. Will my work change? No, but I am working on creating a schedule for my freelance work and organizing everything more. Another thing I am doing is prioritizing myself and my home more. So, my freelance may take a tad longer, but things will be calmer once I get everything in line. Do you feel like this as well? Let me know below.
It has been a crazy few days in the house with our newest additions! Please give a warm welcome to Winnie, Remi, and Pinkie.
Well, it's that time of year again. I have two months of no shopping, and the monthly bill paid off. So what does that mean? I will try saving funds by cutting back on my food budget. How? I live in Florida and have full totes of dry goods in my hurricane supplies. So, except for buying eggs and milk, I will be stocking up on some extra vegetables and a few small packs of meat I used up already and will do a use-up-the-pantry challenge. So those totes can empty, I will use up the older food in my house after a quick staples shopping trip. Because I always need sugar, flour, and spices.
Could you use up your pantry to create great meals? Let us know in the comments below.
Tip of the day: Remember to do something you enjoy. I love crafting, and the picture above was the latest project I completed. Now, I love baking and cooking as well, but I am closing work today. It looks like it's going to be a pizza and fries dinner tonight unless my other half is up to cooking. But with his health being a bit rough lately, I can say easy meals are happening.
Now, honestly, I have always lived in haunted homes. But this last week, my house has been hopping with voices heard, shadows, items moved to different places, knocking on walls or doors, and items falling off counters and walls. I might have thought I was crazy if I were the only one experiencing everything. However, I am not. My boyfriend and I will be in our room and hear things coming from the kitchen, the hallway, or my office on the other side of our smaller home. What is it? I do not know. Who is it? I am drawing a blank. Believe or do not believe that is up to you. However, after this week, I believe in ghosts.
