Tuesday
I think it must be the first time I’ve done this in 33 years. I’ll get to that story shortly, but first, today work was on and off, so I spent the time in between time spring cleaning. One of the things I’ve been wanting to part with is my exercise bench press. Many years ago when I was getting up early, almost every day for some years, I got up and in the dark did about 50 sit ups. Once that season was over, it got put on the mezzanine level just off our bedroom and became a spot for Truffles to sit. I have had it in mind to put it on FB to sell. Today was the day. I dusted it off, took some photos and put it on the Fish Hoek Buy/Swop/Sell page. It took 48 minutes to go from the ad being published to it not only being sold but also collected.
Job done!
After I’d finished work this afternoon, Mike went to the Mall to buy dinner ingredients. After he left, I pulled all the clothes out of his shelved cupboard. All of them. Shelf by shelf. The whole lot. Then I sorted and folded up everything. I tossed old and I carefully arranged the rest. I have NEVER cleaned out Mike’s cupboard before. Not once in 33 years. I know, I must be considered a very bad housewife, but today was the day.
I didn’t get a before photo, but the after warms my heart!
Mike arrived home from the shops while I was still busy, but he didn’t come upstairs so I was able to finish without him knowing. A short while ago, he came upstairs and I suggested a walk, so he went across to his cupboard and opened the door to get his trainers…
He couldn’t believe it!
I feel I am beginning to scale down which is my goal for this September. I’ve still got quite a way to go, but have made a solid start.
So grateful!
Daniel 2:20-21
Praise the name of God forever and ever, for He has all wisdom and power. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.
These are the days.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
