I woke up a little before 7:30 without an alarm and was contemplating going back to sleep when the 7:30 weekend alarm rang. So now it is 10:30 am and I am organized and once I get a shower am ready for the day.
I was laying on the bed reading comics and was so overwhelmed by the desire for a nap. I have been working hard at home and at school and am tired. At the same time, thinking about all I'd like to do and the joy of getting the house organized is giving me the motivation I need. I will try and persevere. Listening to an audible book helps keep the sleepiness away.
It has been so nice waking with time to eat, read comics, make lunch (and often a protein snack or dinner) and get organized for the day! The first floor is almost completely organized and it is so wonderful to go downstairs each morning and have the first floor orderly. I don't always get the dishes done, but I only need 10 minutes or so to empty dishwasher and put dirty dishes in.
Yesterday evening I cleaned off the bookshelf at school. It was so unorderly that we had it covered with a large piece of material. Not only did I clean it off, but I found a place or tossed all that was there. I didn't just put it somewhere else. My desktop is about 75% cleared. I ran out of time and had to bring those papers/materials home to sort.
I am still a little bit awed by the changes taking place. I have had the desire to get organized for soooooooooo long, but haven't had the energy and motivation simultaneously. Now I do!!!!
The little changes add up. I located the crock pot. It was in a box in the bedroom closet all this time. I didn't think I had put it in the basement. Now I can make one of my favorite recipes - Moroccan Chicken! My cookbooks are now on the bookshelf!!!
Now that I have gotten started on the teacher bookshelf across from my desk at school, next week I hope to start with the filing cabinet drawers. At a minimum I will do at least 1 drawer. I really think that a huge impediment was view of looking at the project of organizing my desk as one large project, and wasn't able to break it into pieces. The progress at home has definitely made the possibility of doing this at school real!!!
I am feeling more awake and have resisted a nap! I was hoping I could. I got at least 7.5 - 9 hours (I can't remember what time I went to sleep) asleep so I didn't think I needed one yet. At the same time, a nap is on today's schedule:)
