october 28: small victories lead to great success

i'm so happy to report that not only are the dishes done now, but i have kept the dishes done for 24 hours!!! this is pretty significant in my world. and not only that, but i just finished putting the laundry away. to me, this is really big, really important. when i started putting it up, i let myself think that i needed new clothes, because i didn't seem to have enough of this or that. by the time it was all packed into my full closet, i could see that i have plenty. perhaps it's not as fresh and fashionable as i would ideally like, but i don't need anything. i'm fully stocked. ok, i could use a few pairs of warm socks. other than that, i think i'm good. i can't justify spending any money on clothes at the moment. what i have is plenty good enough. and it's nice to have it all put away.

so little by little, i'm tackling the big projects at home. i'm still very behind at work. this has got to change. maybe now that the home front is improving, i won't feel that pull between going to work or staying at home. i just have to keep on plugging away at it.

i owe bunny berry credit for my title this morning. she said that the other day when celebrating dropping 2 pant sizes (yay bunny!), and i'm saying it now that my laundry is put away and my dishes are done. time now to take a shower and get dressed, put on some makeup, gather up some food, and head off to work. alas, at work i have to teach and practice all together in a blur, so i won't be productive there today at all, but perhaps tomorrow. definitely tomorrow.
