Just after the beginning of this year, I started the dominoes falling.
They were slow to fall at the start, but as the days, weeks, and now months have gone by, they are falling quite routinely. Thank you Lord.
As I have said, I started by doing 2 things simultaneously- first was reducing the amount of alcohol I consumed, and the second was praying the Rosary daily. Both have had a profound effect on my way of living.
After I managed those 2 changes I started walking again, around the park. At first it was sheer torture, but as I’ve gotten more accustomed to it, things are easing up a bit.
Next came my ability to stay focused throughout the day, getting more done than any other time since we’ve been here. I’ve been able to rearrange the kitchen cabinets, get them all cleaned out. I’ve started labeling everything going into the fridge, as well as the cabinets with masking tape, and a marking pen.
I’m back to making kombucha again, as well as baking bread weekly.
Then I bought 2 5-tier storage units that remained in their boxes, on the living room floor for 2 months. We got the sliding doors out of the 3rd bathroom, I got the storage units up, and rearranged the pantry. I was able to put shelves in the lower cabinets, made of the leftover pine boards we’ve had for about a year, (we were going to make who knows what with them but never did so I reallocated them to my project), and was able to completely redo the pantry.
I have since moved this over there, and those things over here, making room in the living room to actually move around. Our storage unit, up on the roof, we let Jesús, and Liz use while they were here, but Jesús has gone on to another job, though Liz still works upstairs for a neighbor. Anyway, they will be moving their stuff out of our unit and over to their new living space so we’ll be able to gut the living room, and live as normal, older, rich retirees that we are.
You needed a laugh, and you know it.
I have all kinds of before photos, and will take plenty of during, and after photos to show you the progress. I’m anxious to make it happen. We bought a robot vacuum before we moved down here, but have never been able to use it because we still have so many of those blasted yellow, and black totes all over the apartment there’s not enough open floor to use it.
Until next time, thank you, any of you, that prayed for the resurrection of my blog site. As I have said before, with the help of my sister Martha, the Lord, and all of my prayers, I am, once again continuing to produce nonsense. Stay happy, and loving the Lord.
