As I enter another weekend I wanted to blog about my plans, in the hopes that this "added accountability" will keep me motivated as I tackle recreating my home. My father and sister are visiting next week, so this is the full weekend I have to work on my home. I still have a table full of Christmas (I collected it from all our rooms so I could start wrapping and putting in boxes all at one time). I've got to get the bedrooms ready for guests. I've got to get new pillows. I've got to clean out the refrigerator in anticipation of cooking for a crowd. I've got to shampoo a few spots the dogs have become too "familiar" with, if you know what I mean. AND I've got lots of grading to do as the grading period comes to an end.
But I also need to mentally prepare myself for their visit-- I know since we've been going through such a rough time as a family, everyone seems to approach me with both pity and oft-unsolicited advice, and it just seems to make me feel more depressed. I really need to get myself to where I can keep myself on an even keel. I hope I can find some time to squeeze in some walking this weekend too-- it seems to keep my mood up.
