I do that more often than I'd like to admit these days too.Quote:
For that amount of time I'm sure you and your dad will have a good visit.
Yeah, I think you did. Having somewhere for you and your dad to eat would be good. Just don't let yourself do what I am still doing. Make an attempt to tidy up the kitchen table then put another pile of stuff on it.
Yeah. We should have fun.
No worries. My table, at least until he's gone will be clean and clear.
It was actually nice not having to go through a ton of old mail and stuff since I already did that a couple of weeks ago. Only had about a week's worth of junk mail to sort through. House was pretty clean overall too. I really need to clean up better after myself in the kitchen and bathroom though. Bad habits I've cultivated over the decades and I never had a good woman to smack the shit out of me for doing it.
I don't mind living in my own mess, but if I walked into somebody else's house and it looked the way that I've let it get about 3 times over the last 2 years, I'd nope right on out of there. Wasn't nearly as bad as my drinking/hoarding days, but that's really just because I don't have all that crap anymore. And the longer you let it go the bigger project it becomes and the less you want to do it. Just a bad cycle that reinforces itself.
I just have to get this project finished up and make a point to have people over more again. When I had people over often enough, it never got messy to the point where it was a major 2-day project to clean everything up.
Oh... and I cheated on the laundry. Instead of putting it all where it belongs, I just threw it in another room.I think the main reason I don't take care of my laundry is because I barely have any space for it. I've got two massive dressers and a third small one, and that large closet with 3 rods for hanging, and I still don't have enough room for the laundry.
Getting rid of clothes has always been a hard thing for me to do. It's also the reason why I have to stop taking other people's clothes when they get rid of them too.
I have a very particular way of dressing most days, and half the clothes I own now I know that I would never wear under any circumstance, so it all needs to go. I also took like 7 full suits from my friend that belonged to his dad. They're all a perfect fit. I don't even need to see a tailor.
But if you don't count a 30 minute job interview maybe 12 years ago, the last time I ever wore a suit was at my brother's wedding. Was Obama still on his first term back then? I think he may have been.
Heh... I just giggled when I remembered that the last time I washed any of my cars was the last time I wore a suit.
If I was going to get another office job where I dressed real nice every day I think I'd have probably already done it in the last 16 years. Probably time to let a lot of that go. And besides... Even though I've long stopped caring about fashion and I think that anything I wore growing up is still perfectly acceptable to wear, there's probably a good chance a lot of that would either be laughed out of the office for being ancient, or would be complimented for being vintage stuff. If I get another office job, I can buy myself new dress clothes. They're just wasting space here now.Quote:
I think if the table and chairs are a nice wood colouring it would be alright with your white trim.
Painting it and then cleaning it all the time will flake the paint off. Best to leave it.
Yeah... It doesn't look bad at all. I think dark would probably go nicer with it than the light wood, but oh well...

Speaking of laundry I have to get up and get mine done. Then a walk in.

Back later. People hogging washing machines then trying to hog dryers. Managed to get one of each. Then out on a walk to get some supper for tomorrow.

A big motivator for tidying and cleaning is having someone over. Needless to say, we haven't had anyone over except close family in a long time!
But I keep hoping to get to that point soneday!

Kitchen sink cleaned out tonight. It was looking kind of grim. Also the other day got my files into the box and the jewelry I had around is now in my mum's old box. Now, to get back to my book work. Another case of I will, I will, I will. Oh, somewhere along the line I will fix a pin then get to work on the pins I want and don't want.

Up tp attempt to get things organized for that publisher and all this heat is making my hair greasy. Need to soak my head and then see if I have a hair clip. I know I did have one.

Man.... I could use some heat.
I've still got the damn furnace on right now and it's May 3rd.
I said I wasn't going to do it, but it was getting miserable in here.

Sorry to hear that SIX. We are going to be sweltering where I am until at least Friday of this week.
And we've got fires starting to go in province too. Think it's going to be a long summer.

Up and out in a bit. 68F at 10am. Hot and it is already making my blood sugar hop. I will be feeling it all day. I don't have a hair clip will have to get one. Meds refill and that will be about it.
