This House Swallows Things

[days_unfolding]

The outside painting is going to be expensive because he needs to fix rotting wood on some of the sills. I checked the account balance and found, to my horror, that I didn’t have enough money. I sent a panicked note to the trust, and they’re working on a disbursement, but it could take 10 days. I can send them bills in the meantime.

The life coach helped me figure out what I need to do with the house to be done in December. I want to do the kitchen this weekend so that I can get the house cleaned.

My scissors are MIA, so I placed a Meijer order that includes scissors. I have some coming from Amazon too, so I’ll be drowning in scissors, but that beats the alternative. My clothes are coming in, so I need scissors to open the packages! Got them and opened the packages. I got a really cute tweed blazer that would look great with blue jeans. I’m thinking that I’ll wear it to the onsite work meeting in November.

Yikes. Things are heating up at work. And there are a ton of meetings. I tried to get off of the phone with the weight-loss coach quickly, but she wasn't getting the hint.

I’m going to try L’Oreal skin care because, while I love the skin care that I’m using, it’s too expensive. No, actually, I canceled that order and am trying some items from DRMTLGY. It's still less than half of what I'm paying for the stuff that I've been using.

Did some emailing of house-related people.

I decided not to take a nap after work because I have a lot to do, but I'm yawning. I might make this an early night.

I got the kitchen table cleared off. Go me. But my glasses have vanished. I had them on earlier, but can't find them anywhere. And I already had another pair of glasses that had vanished. So I just ordered two more pairs from Zenni, rush delivery. And I ordered two chains for the glasses so that I can keep them with me when I'm not wearing them. Oh! I just found them! They were on the floor, which I swear that I looked at, but didn't see them. At the rate that I'm going, though, having two more pairs of glasses might not be a bad idea. I'm going to put a pair with the stuff for Kauai.

I'm going to go to sleep and get up early and get boxes and garbage out of the kitchen.

P.S. I found the scissors too. There are too many hiding places in this house.
