1. Lots of progress on the office refresh with project spending at just a bit over $100 so far. I bought a metal 3 drawer file cabinet on sale and file folder tabs. I had enough good condition file folders and hanging files to set it up like I want and to make it easy for others to find things. We will have to pay to have the old computer hard drive shredded and I may buy a desk mat and a colorful picture for the wall as with the old computer is gone wall space has opened up.
2. Started using the reading journal I requested and was given for Christmas. I’m going to try to stick with it although it is a bit more duplicative than I prefer.
3. Bought on sale a pair of shoes I wear regularly (and need to replace routinely) and an a pair of Smartwool socks for cold feet days. We also replaced our TV as it could no longer be updated for streaming which we use along with an antenna. And I trekked to a nursery and got a new plant for the pot I got for my birthday. In a very different location on a dining room hutch shelf. Fingers crossed it grows well and trails down the shelves.
4. I made plans with our DIL for us all to go to a Lunar New Year celebration that is child oriented. Invited her Mom to join us to. That is a “something to look forward to” for later in the month.
5. Received a loving thank you note from my DIL.
It sounds like your month is off to a good start. I am also on the lookout for a much smaller filing cabinet so I can free up some space in my garage. Going to scout Goodwill and Salvation Army for one. Handwritten Thank You notes are the literal best!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding one!
DeleteI am looking forward to getting my table back upstairs. Hopefully by the end of the month. Next month I will be making some tablecloths and placemats to protect the new surface of the table. Something I should have been doing all along.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The table sounds like it will be lovely.
DeleteGood work on office refresh. I'm contemplating new window coverings in one of the bedrooms. Also interesting to hear about hard drive shredding. I think I have two old laptops stashed somewhere that I should have that done so I can recycle...I've just put it off.
ReplyDeleteI’ll let you know about the shredding as right now it is just that my son mentioned it.
DeleteLooking forward to the details about the Lunar New Year celebration. Hope you gals have the best time. Your office refresh has been a very affordable project!! We are tackling PC's office and my loft in the near future. I go back and forth about getting rid of all of my mementos and keepsakes and keeping them another year.
ReplyDeleteYour efforts to tackle your whole house are inspiring.
