What to do first...

Each morning when I get up now, I need to have a list of things that I need to get done.  It can't be a generic "pack" note either.  I need to work in specifics.  There is just so much, that it can be overwhelming if I take too long to think about it.  So instead of thinking about it, I just need to get started.  
Today, I did get a few pesky tasks done, and now, at 7 pm, I'm ready to start on today's list.  I puttered the day away.  Although, I have to say that Jillian and Ethan were here today, and tomorrow morning they are off on their great adventure, flying to Hawaii to spend some time with their Lola Brenda, Krista's Mom.  Pretty exciting.  





So today, right now I am going to clean the carpet in the guest room.  Then I need to decide how I want to put the bed back in there.  Right now I have it on the 'far' wall.


Here are a few photos.  This is a queen sized bed, so it does take up a lot of room.  I wonder why that photo is so dark....

Anyway, once I take down the quilt, and the other doo dads on the wall, I know I am going to need to put some paint on the walls in this room too.



 But part of me wants to turn the bed the other way. Sister Carol thinks having the head of the bed nearer the door may not be the best idea.  I get that, but it seems that if I flip it, I can move it closer to the window wall, and make it appear that there is more room in there.

I guess the worst that happens is that I move it and don't like it, I just move it back.    Most importantly though, I just need to do something!!  So that is what I'm off to do.....right now....really......I mean it.....stop reading.....

I can't stop reading - your adventure sounds so exciting - though I have to admit - I'm not jealous. We did this just over 10 years ago and I think we are set - we bought our retirement home and I've retired - and Don plans to in 5 years. I will, however enjoy watching you putter, and work and paint and plan.
