"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
~ C. S. Lewis
Okay, so did you really think that I had a prayer of a chance to write 2 days in a row?
You would think that by having both Friday and Saturday off that should have been doable.
I can't even begin to share with you how busy one can be on a day off.
After what seems like an eternity,I had the opportunity to return our house into something that resembles a place where humans actually live.
Friday was take back day.
With no contractors here,I set about creating space to put things back in place.
I converted our old coat closet into a pantry that now holds all of our pots and pans,crock pots,large bowls and assorted other kitchen crap.
Our old pantry cabinet was in need of repair so that got taken care of.
A dozen blinds went up in the big room.
They make a big difference.
And the freshly painted kitchen cabinets all now have knobs and pulls attached.
By 3:30 it was time to put furniture back where it belonged .
After a quick run to the market, I started preparing the first comfortable Shabbat dinner we have been able to have in months.
Before long we were lighting candles,saying brachot (prayers) and once again enjoying a beautiful, peaceful Shabbat.
Saturday greeted me with the challenge of recapturing the storage area we had been using during the remodel..our bedroom!
The task of putting things away literally took me from 8 am until 10 pm.
While we are not at 100% , (I'm not sure we are ever t 100%), most everything is put away for now and we can once again walk without side stepping, stepping over or maneuvering around boxes and piles of assorted stuff.
Today it's back to work for me along with cleaning and some grocery shopping, enough at least to prepare dinner for tonight.
However, getting back to my desk to write to you was the number 1 item on today's to-do list.
Mission accomplished! .
(By the way....the room looks great if I do say so myself).
