Mellow Fruitfulness

Congratulations! I've put light bulbs in the bathroom lights and sorted a bag of running stuff I won't ever use again for the CS. Also taken the robot hoover into the sitting room where it has eaten lots of dog hair, washed the big hoover filters (not sure they will dry!) and moved logs from the hall to the sitting room and then from the porch to the hall. Need to retrieve a wheelbarrow to do logstore to porch for the next lot, but the hall log basket is nearly full so I'm finally catching up with myself. Also shoved some soup in the SC and remembered to take frozen fruit out of the freezer. Although it still appears to be full.Rhyddid2026 said:It is done!

I would love a robot hoover @greenbee but I'm not sure it would cope with a constantly shedding German Shepherd? I get through cordless hoovers pretty quickly (but my Hetty copes well).Debts 04/01/25 01/11/25

The robot copes well with constantly shedding labrador and cats @Rhyddid2026. It has a very small bin, so needs emptying regularly, but the point is you can run it regularly (as long as your floors are clear of obstacles and there are no escape routes). I need to get into the habit of setting it off in the sitting room in the morning (I leave the doors open at night for the heat from the stove to circulate).1

I don't want to get my hopes up too much.... But I have a provisional date to get the storage unit (mostly) emptied 😯
And it's before Christmas 😯
It's actually a November date 🥳
I'll have to go down and sort a couple of things before then, bring back things I know he wants to keep, take things in my house that can be sold, and take some strong boxes as some are broken, but that can be done in a few hours, half a day max.
This is very exciting! I could be free of it by the new year!Debts 04/01/25 01/11/25

We have had the workmen here again so I have been in the other living room in my reading nook with my dog and doing a lot more reading that I have this year so far.
I finished a book today and I have to take my dog to the vet for a routine appointment. There is a free book library box near the vet so I will pick one and leave the book I read there. I have to give her flea treatment when I get back home and write out a card.
I go to group meditation classes, but I thought I would try meditation again on my own at home so I just did a short YouTube video. I also booked another class online for the next couple of weeks.2
