How's your year going so far? Mine is pretty good. I'm getting back into the schedule of working after that long break in December. Plus I'm getting my life organized. And by that I mean, organizing my stuff by buying baskets and things to make my life feel just a little bit more put together.
I've never been the planner type person, but I guess I sorta turned into one over time. Because the idea of getting a planner and using that to schedule my job and also just keep track of important dates sounds fun. Though I haven't actually taken the time to pick up a planner yet. But I've been writing lists lately, and I find it refreshing. Helps to organize my thoughts. Lists of what books I need to read (I have way too many books on my bookshelf that I haven't read), what I'd like to watch this year, and things I'd like to do this year. I wouldn't call these goals, they're just lists of things I want to get done. It helps my brain not explode. *laughs*
I've also been trying to write in my diary more. I know my family is already wondering how I could possibly have so much to say, but if you read my diary you'd understand what I mean. I've been trying to write down my thoughts more. Instead of just the typical "Today I...". Though I do still write that *winks* also, I started a new diary so that's nice!
So, yeah. Basically I've "getting my life together" xP and so, I'd say the year has been off to a good start.
This post was supposed to be a photo dump, and I know that that's what most of you want to see. But, to be honest, I don't feel like taking the time to download my pictures from my phone onto the desktop. and I don't feel like putting that post together. I'd rather just talk about what's going on in my life. Maybe share a picture or two. So that's what I've decided to do instead of photo dumps. I hope y'all aren't angry with me. But really, I shouldn't force myself to do posts I'm not proud of, right?
So, here goes. January of twenty-twenty.
Well, first of all we started the year off on the right foot. As is, we were standing on our right feet *winks* New Years Eve was spent at my aunts' house. For those of you who haven't been following me for a long time, I have two aunts who are pretty close to my age, and they live together in an adorable little house near by. So, that's where I spent New Years Eve. We had ice cream sodas, watched The Avengers, and played games. So, that's how we welcomed 2020 *smiles*
January was full of snuggles, and giggles, and smiles, and "talks" with darling little Kate. She's getting so big! I'm pretty sure she can recognize people now. She loves her Uncle Chancy. She nearly bursts with excitement whenever he's around. When he walks away her eyes follow him all across the room. It's adorable. And if someone she doesn't know is holding her she sometimes acts shy until one of us who see her weekly comes and talks to her, and then she's ok.
He little "chats" are the cutest things ever. As I write this, my mom is holding her, and she's looking all around the room. Like an adult *winks*
We got some snow this month. Not much, but enough to make the drives to work beautiful. There's nothing like a pine-covered hillside all white with snow. And then when the sun shines just so on that said hill *hearts for dayyyyssss* Despite the snow we got each night, we were always able to make it to work each day, so that was nice. Snow in our area usually means slushy or icy roads, but not this round. A part of me is hoping we get some more snow before winter ends, but the other part of me wants to be able to go to work every week xP
Work had been going pretty well. As well as cleaning strangers houses can go *winks* We have done some school, and that seems to be going well too. I really do enjoy teaching that cute little boy, who's now seven! He was five (turning six) when I started teaching him, so that's crazy.
It's nuts to think that we've been doing this cleaning thing for over a year now. With four clients now. I'm secretly hoping to get one more client this year. Only if it's a client from my church of family. Just because another stranger client would be too stressful. xP
Felicity and Josiah will be moving out of their apartment next month, so we went over there yesterday to help Felicity get some things packed. So that happened *winks*
