Hey friends! Well, I'm a liar-liar-pants-on-fire! I said I wouldn't be back for a few days, but I cannot help myself!
I got lots done today.... not necessarily everything on the "Wednesday" list, but lots and a few things from the Friday list.... so I'm feeling pretty good. But like most big projects, it gets worse before it gets better. We absolutely trashed the mudroom today.... it is living up to its name with muddy footprints all over the floor and TONS of junk that is on its way to other places (like the dump!).
I did gather nearly ALL of the serving pieces I need for the party, found the outdoor chair cushions (admittedly in the third place I looked, not the first), completed 8 center pieces, figured out what tables I need where (it took a few tries).... even painted the front steps BEFORE breakfast! Still tons and tons and TONS of cleaning to do.... but I am feeling better overall.
Will you judge me if I tell you I cleaned between the deckboards of the back deck with a scraping tool... between every-single-board?! Yup... time consuming but HIGHLY satisfying!! I scraped between the boards with a paint scraping tool while DS followed with the shop vac.... then I power-washed what was left. I cannot believe how much better the deck looks! The worst of it was the nearest to the house.... I think the leaves and pine needles build up there the worst.
Anyhow..... eating was spot on and obviously I was moving all day long.... but wouldn't you know it, I checked my Fitbit mid-afternoon and realized the battery was dead.... boo.
I've got a 4:30 am shift, so I'm off to sleep now. I'll probably have time between calls in the morning to chat, so I'll be back then!........P
