Tuesday doubts

In yesterday’s post, I shared my excitement about maybe having a greenhouse this year.  Today, I share that during one of my middle-of-the-night wakings, I remembered said plans and thought to myself - “Why would I want to do that? It sounds like a lot of work, and I’m not getting any younger. Never mind.  I’ll just stick to the easier stuff.” LOL

You just never know what you’re going to wake up to, right?  Well, I’ve had some time to think about it again this morning, and it’s not so much that I’m not up for the work, because it would be on my time and my terms, but more concerned about whether or not it should be done at this house and during this period or if we should save the time, energy and money for the next stage.  If we want to accomplish our goals of finding land and getting started building our home, we probably need to focus on that and not squander our resources.  :-(

The deck will have to be brought to safety and code before we could ever put it on the market to sell or to rent. I fully intend to replace the existing very large deck with a smaller, less expensive version. Most people don’t really need the size deck we enjoy.  They might enjoy it, but they don’t need it LOL. 

There are a number of things that will have to be done around here to get the house in marketable condition. That down payment just keeps haunting me.  Why I never can seem to tuck money aside for it is a mystery to me.  Perhaps that should be my real goal.  It kind of was the idea with the greenhouse and herbs, but that particular idea also interferes with practical issues of space and functionality. So it would be better to work toward goals of saving/making money that do not interfere. That would include the other ideas I had, which would in no way interfere.  Those ideas are more head and digital space, with the exception of my beloved calendar idea. 

Time to wake my people. Breakfast, lunch, off to work and school, walk and then the daily parade of activities. Which, oh-by-the-way, I didn’t even get to the whole “What do you do during the day?” Comment my sweet husband made last night :-( That’s an entire separate post.  The good news is that it didn’t end up in a bad place.  I took it in and used it to ask myself some questions.  I don’t have the answers, yet, but I’ll work on it a little more.

The basement and garage are my goals for the day. Wish me luck!

Peace!
