Day 11- May Goals

May 3rd, 2013 at 07:50 pm


MAY GOALS:

1) stop gap repair bathroom leak- will have to enlist help as I am afraid to go under house.

2) Put professional pretty on daily. First impressions are important and I have run into possible employers looking less than my best.

3) yard detailed- detailed list to follow soon- I have put in a call to the city to repair culvert on right of way. ( saves me time and money if I can get the city to fix this. It floods my driveway and carport.)

4)Drink less soda and more water ( plain and flavored)

5) THE BIG ONE- repair missing downspouts on gutters. - I priced the pieces needed at Home Depot. The estimated cost is $35. I am budgeting $50. (you know how it goes once you atart a project.) I will cash in all the cans I have on hand. That might net $10. I am doing a small cleaning job for someone on Monday. That will net $25. I need to raise an additional $15.

I am working the fleamarket with my sister this weekend. We are redoing the booth in order to declutter and bring in more business. I will designate some items that need to go. Whatever I get out of those will be put toward the downspout repairs. I only make $200 on a REALLY good weekend, so this will be a challenge to dispose of $15 worth of totally unwanted items. This weeknd will hopefully be ok, so you never know. Gotta put on the creative hat.

    Off topic but suggest setting stove's timer for 15 minutes in advance of departure to prep take-away lunch. We use a 'launch pad' at the door which really is a sm bench/stool for any items to go with us next trip out. Any prepared lunch, stuff to drop off, items to return, books and back pads etc. Having a 'launch pad' to leave these items has saved us much aggro.

    You can make your own flavored waters. I found a bunch of recipes posted on Facebook, but I bet you could google it.

    Bothofyou have great suggestions. I see at least one of you is a Flylady. I do use the 15 minute/timer tip. I find I get sooo much more done over all.
