Get up to get down

Wow. Long time, no action. I've been a busy girl lately what with work, work and evermore work.

But I also have been busier than I thought on the home front. I just stumbled upon my old "To-Do" List and was surprised by how much I've been able to check off without even paying attention:

Pictures to come soon. I really am in awe of the amount I've done thus far without much pressure on myself to check things off the list (obviously, since I haven't even checked the list in months and haven't been working consistently). Getting the toilet done all by myself in the Coop was a huge feat both physically and mentally. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to do it - but it's done! And it's fantastic! Now if I can just mend that marble tile or figure something out with that.... While there have been a few additions due to the nature of DIY spawning more and more DIY projects, it's starting to seem almost manageable now. Especially with the Coop nearing sale.... Once that is gone, I can fully concentrate on where to live in the City, getting some pets and fixing up the Country house!
