We did it

Sunday went off without a hitch. I got up, got ready, my BFF S picked me up & we headed off the the salon. My hair & makeup were perfect. It took about 30 mins longer than we planned for. Went to the BFF’s place where we had a small snack, then we got dressed. LOL we were running about 10 – 15 minutes late. So I sent messages to everyone. We did a video call with Babygirl, so that she could be…

Not enough stress right now

So there is a list (somewhere, I have no idea where I read or heard this) of the 5 most stressful things in life. Death of a loved one, Marriage/Divorce, Moving, Major illness or injury, & Changing your job. Well my last day working at the salon was Friday… 1 We are moving to the other side of the country… 2 Because we didn’t have enough stress, we decided that we are going to get married on…

it's been a hot minute

It’s been a very long time. I have been working, and packing. However I only have to work until Friday, then I am flying free. So I can focus on the house, then sell it. Move across the country & start on my business plans. There are still a small ton of things that need to be done. I know that I am making it overly simple, but in reality it’s as simple as I’ve made it. D will be in TO for the…

still working away

So I’ve been working away, packing & trying to rest in a manageable amounts. now that I’m working all opens (at work) again, I have a sleep schedule, which is kind of really nice. I did manage to screw myself on the weekends (when I was working on the schedule). I do not get a full weekend until May sometime. By then I will be without a work schedule all together. Oh well it is what it is. I took…

Still drawing

So I’m still drawing the cabinets I want for the store. I have a felling that I will need to be doing custom built-ins. Which is ok, since I and actually drawing the plans. I do not have measurements since I do not actually have the store front. I think I will start furniture placement in my mind, and maybe draw that up as well. The head quarters are slowly getting packed, and being put into the…

making a shift

So I have been using this blog more as a journal, than an actual blog. I don’t know if there is much difference between journaling and blogging. I’ve been writing more about my personal life lately, and really I should be using this platform more for the business. So I think that it’s time for a bit of a shift. I have been researching which business would be the better option for the move in a…

just a short note today

There is so much to do still. I really need to start the research the organization company that, so I can write the summary business plan. See which one would be a better option for me. I started packing another room. I think I will be packing the books in the smaller boxes that way I won’t worry about the bottom of the boxes falling out. I think that I will pack the crafting stuff in the larger…

Time does not stand still

Yikes being sick for 3 weeks has totally thrown me off schedule. I was planning on having most of the packing done by now. we aren’t even close. I was packing yesterday, and barely made a dent. I know I really need to get the packing done, so that we can have a stager come in and help us set is up. The realtor sends me reports on other properties in the area and what they are listed for. Close to…

back from the almost dead

I am still recovering from double pneumonia. Let me tell you, that it was not fun. I’ve been off work for almost 3 weeks. I was sleeping most of the time. I had very little energy. So as you can probably, tell I haven’t written for a while. The thing about pneumonia is your lungs really hurt, even after the infection has cleared out. I am currently working on getting lung capacity back, and…

this or that

I’m just going to come one this page and talk things out. Sometimes it’s easier to say/read things, and hopefully things will start making sense. So it looks like my proposal (for work once I have moved to Ontario) is not going to be accepted. So I have a couple of different choices to make. Do I try to find something, or do I start my own thing. Do I actually go full time on Knot So Long Ago,…

random thoughts rolling around my brain

My mind would not stop last night. I tried to sleep at a normal time last night… that did not work. I laid in bed for about 1.5 hours before I decided that I would crochet a bikini top. When I started last night all I had was crocheting cotton, which is the stuff dollies are made out of. So it’s not thick at all, so I decided to triple the tread. There is a technique that makes a single ply into…

So many ideas, not enough time

I have so many ideas, and I do not have enough time to do them all. I really want to spend more time making quilts. I have kind of fallin’ in love with hexagon quilts. I want to spend all my money & time quilting, but I have to behave and get other things done. I kind of want to do another month of sewing, kind of like the robe a l’angelise (18th century French court gown.) It was so much work, I…

packing has been slow

So I have decided that I should be packing four (4) boxes a day, but I just can’t seem to get the motivation to do that. Well I guess, I will just have to grit my teeth and get it done. I will find any thing to distract myself from do it. I know that it needs to be done, which is kind of making it worse. Maybe I will just get up get the four boxes filled, taped, & labeled then go figure out what…

oh what a week... January always feels like the longest MONDAY in the world

I think January is a result of a adrenaline crash in the biggest/hardest form. The hype up to Christmas and New Years, then Jan 1 hits, and all the excitement has been spent, and its back to the normal work your arse off world. I want it to be either Christmas time, or May. I don’t want it to be January. Oh a co-worker & I were talking yesterday about Pozenta (a cosmic laser treatment) and how I…

It's time to start packing

With January finally here, we need to start fixing up our place, to get it ready for selling our place. We need to start packing up and getting things organized for what we want to take, sell, or donate. There is so much that we have to do. My plan is to get started (for real this time) packing. I have so much to go through. I will start with the office, then decide what room needs to be next. I…

What a couple of weeks

As you might have noticed, I haven’t been posting very much the last few weeks. Well as it turns out I was bust getting ready for Christmas. This would be the first Christmas that I wouldn’t be with siblings in my home town. We were in another province. We spent the whole 10 days between two different little towns. Babygirl & the grands were in one town (SM) & our Airbnb was in the other town…

I just need to make it 2 more shifts

I have less than 2 shifts left before I’m on Christmas break. Heheh I think I should build this into any contact/work schedule I have in the future. Lol. I am really looking forward to having 10 days off. I have also decided that I will be giving my phone to D… He can decide if it’s important enough for me to reply/answer anything that comes in. I know that this is going to add pressure on D, but…
