Today, I chose to stay home instead of going with Michael to the storage unit. He sounded a little huffy when I said no. I am learning to be okay when my choices go against what he wants to do. Besides in reference to going with him, I went three times this week.

I decided today to work on my home organization and things I needed to do around the house.

My BIG project was to get our financial filing system in order. I needed to move all of the 2011 files into the expanding file. Some of it I will need to get to when we have our financial review in September for our Section 8 Housing.

Plus, I have stacks of paper on the counter, the stool to the counter, on the dining room table and a dining room chair. All of this is in various states of - oh what word could I use - having my attention. I really need to go through all of this to pull out the bills and create this month's budget.

While reviewing paperwork, I have also been reading and responding to e-mail in one of my e-mail accounts. This all takes time.

I really need to focus here.

Besides, filing and taking care of e-mail, I prepared a new litter box for Bailey and washed his used one. The box is now outside drying in the sun.

Then I washed my hand-wash laundry and they are now outside drying.

My last project was me and with that I took a shower and got ready for the day; although, the day was by now 2 p.m. in the afternoon.

I am finishing up bringing order to my files and have begun filing 2012 receipts. My mind is mush but there is a small amount of order in my little corner of the dining room.

Oh, and lets not forget that while I am working in cramped quarters of stacks of papers, I move my chair just so and I end up knocking over Bailey's water dish. Oh my!

So, the dining room floor gets a partial wash.

I think I am done for today.
