Changes Coming

Last year some medical problems really threw me for a loop — a mini stroke, severe hypoglycemia, sever anemia, and finally surgery.  I stopped my degree plans a little over halfway and spent this year recovering, both mentally and physically.  I feel like I am ready to jump back in, and I have reapplied.

I’ll be doing a little driving this time — one or two days a week — but the class schedule, teaching methods, and the subject matter work well for me.  As usual, I will keep my spring semester a little lighter to allow for work.  I know this will slow down my progress some, but I have to do what works for me.  I’m aiming for slow and steady....I’ll get there eventually.

 So with that in mind I am working on a grand “to do” list.

 1. Continue to declutter the house one room at a time.  My housework time will be limited, my daughter will be in school full time, I’ll be working and taking courses, and my husband will be working two jobs.  Streamlining is going to be essential.  

 2.  Continue to clean out pantry and freezer, with the long term intentions of freezer/batch cooking for the first months of 2018. 

 3.  Increase my physical activity to start boosting myself up.

 4.  Sell and/or donate a ton of my crafting supplies.  I want to turn that room into a study room.

 5.  Clear my kitchen cabinets down to the essentials — pots/pans/etc.

I’m sure other things will come up as I progress, but this is a pretty good overview list of what I would like to accomplish between now and January 1st.

I’m both excited and a little nervous, but all changes are that way I suppose.
