WAKING UP

It's 8 a.m.

Have been up since five in the morning.

Don't you hate it when you can’t go back to sleep after going to the bathroom?

While it's a rare occasion, it is annoying.

Scrolling the internet.

Surfing the TV.

It's Friday.

There is college football this weekend.

MLB playoffs are around the corner.

Wish that our team had made it to the playoffs.

Now, the team's focus is on next year's season.

There's a baseball game on television tonight.

Will still cheer them on.

I'm definitely a fan.

It's better than playing kick the can.

Kick the can is more fun than decluttering.

Everyone has their favorite decluttering method.

There is the by item system.

The whole house or by room method.

Of course, there is the, 'if it doesn't bring you joy,' donate or sell it system.

Selling items on FBM can be challenging.

People message a question.

Then, they vanish.

Or, they set up a time and minutes before the pick up; they message that they are going to pass on the item.

Ugh...

That wasn't a pregnant pause.

Feeling groggy after a ten minute nap.

HGTV is on television. 

The after remodeling pictures are amazing.

It would be nice to have a 100k budget like the people on TV.

Do I watch for inspiration or is it a distraction?

Very grateful to have a home.

Doesn't matter where we roam.

Dorothy said it and it's true.

"There's no place like home!"

Be kind and grateful today and always.

It's the start of the weekend.
