October Goals
This past weekend was General Conference. In my religion, we have a conference every six months where church leadership speaks to the members about lots of different things, providing guidance on living our faith while also traversing this world.
Growing up, we'd have to go to our church meeting house to be able to watch conference. Nowadays, we can watch from our homes, in our jammies, eating snickers!
Since we've been married, if we're not working, we travel to the Passey cabin to watch the fall session of conference. No cell phones or internet and until recently no running water! It's wonderful to have a getaway where the day - to - day stress can be left behind. We even got to see some snow fly!
I'm a bit thrown off that is already October. September went by fast and seeing the snow at the cabin, I get the feeling that COLD weather will be here sooner than I'd like! There's a lot I want to get done before we're stuck inside because of cold weather and snowstorms.
I brought my trusty notebook with me and wrote down a lot of lists. Basically everything that's been banging around in my head but I don't usually have time to just sit and get it on paper.
Here's what's on the docket:
To do:
Finish fall decorations
Under-the-bed tub to store swim towels
Organize freezer room
Go through clothes for end-of-year donation
Hang shelf in boys room
Finish basketball backboard AND hang it
Prep kitchen for painting
Look up how to prep raw wood to paint
To buy:
Suit for Ben's grad school interviews (hopefully)
Contacts/ glasses
Permanent crown
Vent register for kitchen
Mums for front porch
Straw for chicken coop
DIY projects:
Candle holder table centerpiece
Christmas ornaments aspen log
Spring wreath
Copper wind chimes
Growth chart
Wall hanging w/wall art stickers
Winter to-do:
Swamp cooler
Hoses & hose-cover
Potted plants
Toy shed
Clear garage
Take down trampoline
Muck out and re-straw chicken coop
Get snow shovels and salt ready
Snow scrapers in vehicles
Cut back vegetation
It's a lot, but now that it's on paper instead of in my head, I feel less overwhelmed. Time to get to work!
What are you working on these days?
