I guess everyone, at least adults, feel like there isn't enough time in the day. Sometimes I look at others and think, "how do that do everything they do?". Seemingly, I'm the only one that never has enough time to get done All the things I want to do. Or even half the things I want to do. I don't watch much TV, I do watch streaming TV on netflix, but usually use my "should be sleeping" time for that. As I do writing this blog. It's my relaxation. I have a to-do list a mile long, but where does my time go? Why doesn't this list get any smaller? More items get added to the list, then gets removed.
I've taken some long weekends lately to finish my dining room which won't be a dining room when I'm done. I plan to use it as an extension of the living space since we rarely have more then two people eating here at the same time. I think the space would be better used to make more room for the grand-kids to play or for everyone to be in the same room when the kids and grand-kids visit.
They are not here that often, but as I've said, if they only came once a year and I did something to make it more comfy or pleasant, it is worth it.
There is one day left of this long weekend and I have one wall yet to finish. Then the quarter round goes down and I'll be done. Not sure if I will push myself to actually also get the decor on the walls, but if things go well, I might. Seems like my renovations take me so long, but I do them by myself and I also go ahead and do errands, laundry, etc. and a tiny bit of "relaxation" so I don't completely kill myself at it. Going up and down the ladder 50 times a day is not the easiest thing any more. LOL.. I did NOT just admit I was getting older. :)
The job done will be very rewarding and I'll move on to the next thing on the list. Someday, I'll be done. . . . then what? Like I said before, allot of the enjoyment is in the doing. I just hope my poor husband can last through it.
