Back to Hump Day

And here it is Thursday again. Not only is Thursday my hump day where I realize the week is half done but a new month has started and the pastels of summer need putting away and the intense but warm colours of autumn need to have pride of place. And I do need them. It has been especially cold, wet and drab in my corner of the world.

Colour is SO much fun. I realize I've left out a whole lot of options which will probably surface in the future at special times. The grey setting on my camera will see a lot more use as I evaluate value in future quilts and even decorating situations.

I haven't been idle The kitchen has had an auction find addition. Shelves from a meat shop were cleaned. How nice to have a hubby involved who sees the garden hose and a dish brush aren't adequate so gets out the power tools, runs off to buy wire brushes, unites the two and the labour is significantly reduced. Not only was I impressed with the power tools which still took 5 hours but he was impressed with how good the shelves turned out. So the kitchen now has a baking centre! I do like it! Now to get creative and use it!

I do have little piles of coloured accessories stacked all over so the next 2 days should see some major fall cleaning and redecorating. And the bonus is in having the vacuum putting out heat! Time to get the rest of the week done!

What is black and white and read all over?

Hump Day!

I leave the starting gate Monday morning and begin the week's ambitious ascent. I climb Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday, I am poised at the point, the pivot, the peak to check out the scenery. Then begins the slippery slope as I rush down Friday, Saturday, to Sunday.

This is a look at reality which to my mind can only be viewed in black and white.

I luv the planning, especially if I can hit a great office supply store to purchase new colour coded supplies. Then I like to do an in depth cleaning so I can start fresh, a new beginning so to speak.

The reality is that I procrastinate. I don't always finish what I start, and definitely not immediately.

AHEM! Used to!

I'm growing up finally. I'm a big girl who can take responsibility for her own actions. An old gal, who can see the calendar pages are running low.

So much to do. So much stuff to do it with. No room for elaborate and colour coordinated command centres. The decluttering is making those fresh starts quicker and easier to gallop out of that starting gate with gusto.

Time to refocus. That happens, Thursdays, Hump Day.

Time to gather all those ducks and get them back into their row.

And headed to that finish line!
