I feel like I just walked the Appalachian Trail. Except, it was around my neighborhood in the heat. My husband and Chihuahua came with me. Daisy, my chihuahua, did great one way. But took the Jeremy bus some of the way back. We all survived the hike, barely. I’m trying to walk when it is hotter outside so that I will (hopefully) burn more calories. Heres hoping considering I was going.0000000000001 mile per hour.

I’m now the new owner of an executive chair.

My chair looks way smarter than me. I feel as if I should apply to law school.

There are a lot of things in life that I have wished for. I must say, an executive chair has never been on that list. However, today I set up Jeremy’s work area upstairs.

Equipped with a plant, desk, and shelf. He and I also hung a painting of his above the desk & put an organizer shelf on the wall. He made the realization that he needed an office chair. We ended up going by Goodwill and discovering this leather executive chair. Jeremy was not overly thrilled with it, as he preferred the chair that I normally use at my desk. After discovering that the chair could lean back, I was more interested in it. The executive chair for $49.99 ended up coming home with us. As did a bedside drawer for $6.99. It’s black & pink which I will have to rectify quickly. It works though to put papers in.

Something I don’t understand is why trashcans and containers are so expensive. Probably because these are two things that people always want in their home. Or most people, anyway. I’m moving away from storage type items because I want to be able to see what I own. I even am more drawn to clear glass to store items in. My anxiety comes down when I can see what I have & things still look neat. I did score some collapsable containers today, at Goodwill, thanks to Jeremy. The boxes were all collapsed so I would have never understood what they were, had my husband not been there. They were a $1.99 a box and I scooped all 4 up. I’m going to be storing our cleaning supplies in them, which I do need storage for.

I still have not filmed that Youtube video. I think it will be much easier to film when Jeremy is working. For some reason, I can concentrate better when no one has a dam idea I am filming. It’s probably an introverted kind of thing.

I’ve been drinking a lot of water with lemon in it. It is refreshing to put fruit in water because it is different. I’m trying to get far away from artificial sweetened things. It’s very challenging to eat all natural. It is a mystery how some people consist off of their garden. We have been waiting for our cherry tomatoes to come in FOREVER. They are there, but they are very green. I’m not the most patient person…..

Headed back to get more lemon water & lie horizontally.

There has been this loud “meep meep” sound that has been terrorizing my husband and I for months now. After quite some time, we realized it was coming from the attic. Despite doing some major investigating, we could not locate it. The sound reminded me of a loud alarm beep. The sound was sporadic and would happen when you least expected it. Let me tell you, the struggle is real.

Today, I finally found the meep meep. We were taking boxes down from the attic and my husband stated that he thought the sound was in the heavy box labeled “TV.” Sure enough, later the box started randomly meeping. My husband, of course, was snoozing on the couch when it hit me. I COULD NOT TAKE ONE MORE MEEP. I ripped the tape off the box and grabbed the first guilty looking culprit. It turns out, the meep was coming from our Nest smoke detector. There of course was no OFF switch. I resolved the situation by running out to the car (at night) and chucking it into the back seat. I once did this with a Furby after being unable to get it to stop mumbo jumboing. Who knew the car could resolve so many issues. Case Closed.

Charlie does not like when I pack or clean. He wants items to stay on the floor and as dirty as possible.

Before all of this excitement took place, we unloaded many boxes from the attic. I had NO IDEA I saved so much sparkly senseless shit from the past. I’m now questioning whether or not I had a complete mental break from reality. I’m going to blame it on my Youtube shopping haul video obsession. I used to love to watch people show what they have purchased on Youtube. (OK…I still sometimes watch those videos…). I became completely inspired to buy items & discuss them on my channel. Here is a life lesson for you: Don’t do what other people are doing. It never turns out the same. Years later, my broke ass is un stuffing sparkly items from a cave. Learn from my mistakes.

So what did I do with all of these things you may be wondering? Just check the above picture. I became empowered this morning and taped together a lot of the priority USPS boxes that I recently over ordered. I wrote “FREE” in different colors across them and filled them with everything from seasonal decor, sparkly things, and items I will never use. Major props to my husband for hauling out those boxes of items he spent money on, to make me happy.

All I can say is that stuff does not make me happy in the way it used too. When I am surrounded with things, I become super anxious, depressed, and unorganized. None of those things help enhance my life. Hopefully though, the people that filled their car with my items will find their lives enhanced by them. I heard a small child ended up with my ceramic car bank. Maybe my purge became part of a fun story to his class about how he acquired a new car that can hold money. I would like to think so.

Since the day is going backwards in this blog, we will end on this morning. I was up early enough to prevent a piece of pizza from becoming my husband’s breakfast. What is it with men and cold pizza? It has become a thing, since COVID-19, that we make breakfast before watching church online. Today, I made scrambled eggs & waffles. Jeremy assisted me with the coffee. Everyone then piled onto our gray couch to watch the Seacoast church service. In case you are wondering about what time the services are online, please click here. They have great music and a relatable message, which I have always appreciated.

Not pictured is our cat Bella, who shortly joined us on top of the couch (or window). And of course me, who is holding my phone & breakfast. I do not wake up looking any sort of camera ready. If anything, my hair appears to have been hit by a category 5 tornado during the night. Therefore, I usually pass on AM Photographs.

I feel like surviving today was in and of itself an accomplishment.
