seeking motivation...

Here is my work for the day.

It's 10:30 am.
The morning is halfway through and I haven't done much...
I took downstairs the folding garden chairs we had and some of the mess that was on the table, and I put away the clothes that mysteriously grow on the floor everyday.

This afternoon we receive a new table and chairs and I need to take care of the living room.. Can you tell my focus have been on the garden these past weeks?
Well if you saw the garden you wouldn't believe it, but it's true! ;)

I need motivation because I am so slow.
Agh I used to be really fast at cleaning up!
Yesterday night it took me over half an hour to clean the counter tops, sweep/mop the kitchen and put new linens in the bed..

So I'll make it a little game and take a pic every hour on the dot till I'm done..
If you don't think this game is very funny please remember I have very little social life and I am currently missing part of my brains due to growing a small human being..

11am


of course if I take 10 min breaks every time... ;)

11:30 am
it gets worst before it gets better:
Noon
5 boxes went in the attic, the few empt boxes went outside for recycling and I was left with plenty of books to sort...



From left to right we have 2 piles of religion, 1 pile of linguistics, 4 piles for classics (divided into those that stay in the living room and those that go up in the bedroom), a pile for comic books, a pile for cooking books and a pile for children books.. Pffff time for a lunch break!

1:00pm.. lunch break still going strong :)

a little pic of my cross stitch as an interlude..
1:30pm, back to work...

2:00pm
the religion piles went upstairs, this is what I still have to move up..
But I am done with the shelves!

the bottom one is temporary mess because we need to find an organization for the electronics...

on the other side of the fireplace..
I am happy we can have a Bible in the living room. I opened it on our wedding's gospel: John 17. Behind it is our unity candle.

2:30 pm
barely any time to bring up more books, the delivery guys were here!!!



messy is back...
3:00 pm
nothing has changed, I went online to send pics to Mr L and we chat a little ;)

3:40pm
I'll call that a day.
All the books belong somewhere, the recycling is out waiting to be picked up, I swept the floors and here is the final result ( with one little corner of mess left)

new cute desk "bonheur du jour"

new table and chairs!

last little messy corner.. I can hide it all in the closet ;)

hey looks like this motivation thing worked!
