Tomorrow is my off day. I plan to finish the yard. It will be stop and go all day as I am too out of shape to finish it all at once. I also plan to wash work uniforms and clean off the carport ( very messy.) For those who do not know ( that would be all of you), I wash my clothes by hand because I don't own a washer and the local laundry mat is nasty right down to the machines. Ok, the place is pretty clean but the water going into the machines looks like it has been filtered with a window screen for big crap and then refed into the washers. ewwwe. I do plan in the future to haul some of my laundry to my sister's house but sh is funny and it takes a fair bit of gas to just hop on over there.
Saturday I don't work until 4pm, so I plan to work on cleaning out the car and start detailing it myself. I am determined to dig out of my messy habits. starting outside and working my way in.
At least I know why I have felt like crap for the last week and I half. Sinus infection. It tends to sneek up on me and I have been lazy as of late so I missed the clues. My teeth hurt because of the pressure ( I hope.)
I almost missed my volunteer banquet today but plodded on because I know how few volunteers there are and how hard our leader works. She would have been disappointed. We had a BIG lunch and I am quite full. I wasted gas coming home and sleeping until time to get up, blog and get ready for MW work time. I felt I should work on the yard but the rest won out. I did save a little as my plan was to shop the thrift store if the sitting assignment did not work out, It fell through so I slept.

When I feel over-whelmed and behind on cleaning (like I do right now), I try to just focus on one thing at a time. Then I make a point of noticing and enjoying the one thing that is clean while I focus on the next one.

It was not all bad. The store manager for a clothing outlet in town came in. While I was helping her find what she needed we discussed my coming to work for her. If I could work both jobs at MW, I could get about 40 hrs total and meet my budget. I told her I was planning on coming in after my trip next month as I did not want to possibly be hired and then say, " oh, and I need a whole week off." She understood and encouraged me to come in after the trip. That is a little light in the tunnel. I also have 2 maybe 3 jobs to apply for this week. They are full time and have benefits. They are also in my field!!
And I do break the chores down into zones. I learned it from flylady. The yard is out of hand a bit because I was having a pity party and we had ALOT of rain. I do the timer also. I love my wind up timer. It pushes me to do more than I would normally.

Would you mind sharing how you do your home laundry? I've been thinking I would like to do some of mine by hand, but I'm not sure about the procedure. Do you just soak and rinse?
