Moving Experience

Yesterday was a designated workday.  It really amazes me how powerful declaring what I am going to do is.  It really seems to take care of excuses.  I am so much more likely to do something if I have said that was going to happen at a particular time.
We had been saying for months we were going to put down new flooring in the bbq area.  We knew it would mean taking everything out and cleaning the surface and then putting down the flooring.
Anyway we had said the day before that yesterday was the day it was going to happen.  I had taken off a few of the heavier things already – like pots.  We had flooring that used to be in our sitting area.  It was all folded up awaiting placement.
I admit the size of what we had had shrunk big time in my mind.  Initially I thought it would do the whole area.  Then I remembered it was smaller than I thought as it had only appeared to fit where it was due to a clever plan of mine using off cuts and a carpet to make it look like it was enough.  So it had become “which end do we want it?”  We decided it would be best to put down in our “bbq/cooking” area rather than our “lounge” area.  So once everything was removed we laid and cut excess flooring.
One could say “the tables have turned” if so inclined but I will try to resist that.  I did turn the table around and we are both happy with the look.
Of course doing one thing often means doing another to make it happen.  I also did weeding, raking, putting things elsewhere.  Merril painted.  We actually scored a good Eski that was on an easement being given away.  It is a hard thing to describe but it is on legs to wheel around, rectangular and has a hole to unblock so water can escape.  It was perfectly ok and only needed a tidy up.  The clean and paint did that.  We had scored a table the same way.  It was exactly what we were looking for with a hole for an umbrella.  We brough it home, Merril gave it a paint, and it is good to go (we already had purchased an umbrella.)
Anyway that was yesterday.  Today is a designated rest day!
