Sunday, Sunday. But it is now time for me to think about a book proposal.

Trying to get published ..that's quite a process, isn't it? And here I was, think you just typed it up, sent it in and crossed your fingers. Heh! What do I know??

Brought EVERYTHING into my living room. Boxes and boxes and boxes worth of free or nearly free after rebate stuff from the last two years that I haven't given away yet that were boxed up or in totes in the garage, all the stuff I got from my friend's father-in-law's house that they were giving away, and all the empty totes from Grandma's house after we gave all her clothes to goodwill.
Damn... Freakin' hoarder's paradise right now. And it's awful becauase I'm doing it in my living room and kitchen where I do most of my living.
Finally got started on it this morning though instead of just looking at it and not knowing where to start.
Got a full box of stuff I'm giving to my aunt as a care package, including my old alarm clock since I accidentally boxed up her ancient one for Goodwill and we didn't realize it until it was already gone. 
Thankfully I just got a brand new SONY one that kicks ass from the father-in-law's house a few months back and didn't know what I was going to do with the old one before.
Two totes full of stuff and inventoried in a document on my computer so far. Trying my best to keep like-with-like as I'm going along. I'm also writing down who I've given what to so I don't end up giving somebody the same thing twice (if it's not consumables, anyhow).
Pulled a few things that I'm just going to give away now instead of waiting for birthdays or holidays simply because the excess items wouldn't fit in the totes so I could close them.
It will be nice to get rid of the beat up cardboard boxes and have the nice totes instead, even if they're really old. They're still in good shape and just needed a good wipe down.
My garage is going to be a mess for a while though. No way around that. Until I start working on some projects and getting things out, I'm not going to have easy access to everything like I did last year and my work benches are just staging areas again. At least I picked up two sets of horses for half price about a month ago so I can still make my own temporary work benches while I'm getting all that work done this spring.

It is and it can be quite over whelming. I got something written up and I will be talking to the published poet that is giving me a hand. Then I will adjust what I've written and see what she thinks. Then I pick a publisher and get everything neat and tidy and send it off. Most publishers take things by email these days.

It seemed like this month was exceptionally busy, so I counted up the various appointments. I have eight doctors or testing appts, hubby has two. Then I scheduled all of us for dental cleaning and exams, and hubby and I are finally getting new glasses. Daughter has one appt. All together there are 16 appts this month. Let's hope next month slows down!

Nah... Just a dude with too much free time on his hands is all.
Going to try to get the rest of the stuff finished tomorrow, but I doubt that will happen. Tuesday it's back to Grandma's for a night or two. The rest of the family finally made it over today and I'm free to dispose of whatever else is left when I get there. Lots of trash to go out and lots of trips to Goodwill on Tuesday night, and then Wednesday night after my aunt gets off of work I'm going to help her bring stuff to her apartment and then I'm going to set up her network so she can stream to both of her TVs and she can finally sleep on her bed there instead of the couch. She needs TV on just like I need YouTube on when I'm going to sleep.
Hung out with my friend tonight and had dinner over there. Finally was able to give them the gift that I had made for him and his daughter and surprisingly his wife loved it too, so bonus points there.
And I got their less than 1 year old air fryer since they upgraded to the Ninja model, so I might have more variety in my cooking in the future if that thing is all it's cracked up to be.
Now if I can only find a place to put it...

Got a lot done today and still working. Laundry should be done soon and I'm going to get the dishes done too. Still working on inventory and re-org. Living room is still a mess and will be until I get back from Grams house, But I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel there.
