     Ok, so I think it's safe to assume that my inner squirrel got the better of me.  I did get my laundry done, so I didn't do too bad.  I still haven't properly put it all away yet, but I also have to sort through it too.  My big mistake was deciding to check out the anime "Seven Deadly Sins", after finishing my last post.  When I get absorbed in an anime I binge watch it, and nothing else gets done. I was able to stop for sleep at about 1am that night.  The next day was another story entirely. I started watching at 10am, and didn't stop until almost 4pm when I finished the first season.  My saving grace was the fact that they don't have season 2 on Netflix yet.  Well I think that's enough rambling for now, later.

     I love how when I started this blog, I thought for sure I was going to change my blogging pattern. That I might actually post consistently, for an extended period of time. Now here we are in August, and I haven't done anything since February. The way I see it, there are two options available to me. Option one is to stop entirely. Just throw in the towel, and say that it just wasn't meant to be. Option two is to get back up, and try again. Writing isn't my strong suit, but for some thoughts/ideas it's the only medium I know. I have a lot that goes through my head, and I want to share as much as I can. It's of no use to anyone locked away in my head, not even to myself. So I will try again.  This time I'm trying more of a journal/ diary approach, and we'll see how that goes.

     So last week I decided to paint my desk, and begin to rearrange my room. For me this usually means, making the rest of the apartment a disaster zone. Which reminds me, I have to congratulate my roommate. Her patients seems to have increased nearly tenfold. As of today most of the mess has been cleared, with just a few exceptions. There are a couple of boxes that need to go down to storage,  a stack of papers that needs to be sorted, and a few items need to be washed. There is also a bunch of stuff sitting in the back of my truck that I haven't even tried to bring in yet. It looks like I'm going to have to complete some projects before those get in the house.

     I tried doing a couple of projects that I thought would help in condensing things down. While I did manage to free up some space, they ultimately took too much time to complete. As a result I decided to hold off for a bit. At least until I had more done, and could get away with spending more time on something other than cleaning. Tomorrow I have to do laundry, and I'm thinking that I will condense some of my plants into bigger pots. I think I'll get some pillows started while I'm at it. Now fingers crossed that I actually get to any of it. 😅

     Well that's enough for me tonight. I will see you all tomorrow, if I can keep my inner squirrel focused on this new habit.
