You all know how much I love having my hubby around, and we are making good use of his time, at home, right now. We are working through a long "honey do" list, but taking our time and just doing bits and pieces every day.
Many are things that I can't do by myself, things like cleaning light fittings. I had him up on a step-ladder taking apart our light/ceiling fan fittings, and I washed the blades and glass shades, while he dusted and polished the ceiling bits.
We bought more smoke detectors and I had him put them up and change batteries in our existing ones.
We are decluttering, and have been taking trash and recycles to the dump almost daily, and dropping off things at the Salvation Army. It feels so good looking at a space where once there was a mass of boxes or unused-any-more stuff.
We've found things we'd "put away somewhere safe" and forgotten about - all sorts of things. Documents. Christmas decorations from year dot. Family history research from years ago, that somehow was not in with the rest (I've been researching now over 25 years). Hubby has found documents from when he JOINED the Air Force, back in 1982!
My grandson has already inherited a shelf full of Time Life books, a couple of weeks ago, and hubby has just packed up the World Book Encyclopaedia and his Air & Space magazines, and they will be joining the Time Life over the next week.
All of my AVON stuff is now totally out of my living room, and is now ONLY in my AVON room. My goal now is to keep it that way, and to sort and bag my orders, label and bag my brochures and store all my supplies ONLY in there.
It just feels so good to be working on it all. It honestly does seem that "less is more" needs to be my new mantra!
