Gettin down to business

For the last couple years I've had a terrible time getting stuff down around my house. Just not much endurance, get pooped out so easily. Focusing so much time on the project from work has restored some of my energy, I'm better able to focus on stuff now, at least before I got a bit burned out this weekend.

A couple weekends ago I went out and bought a bunch of clear plastic storage containers. I wanted to get the clear ones, even they cost more, so I can see the stuff inside at a glance without having to lift all the lids off. The first batch worked out real well so I set out this weekend to get some more and return a couple sizes that didn't work out.

I figured on picking them up after eating dinner with my folks Fri. night. That didn't work out, ended up spending about 3 hours helping a guy at work replace the alternator on his Jimmy, so I got to my parents late, never made it to the stores. New plan, spend a couple hours Sat. afternoon picking up the stuff. Try 5 stores, 7 hours. Takes me so long to shop, I like to look at everything thoroughly and weigh all the options. I did find some great containers, especially for small stuff, in the fishing dept. at Meijer of all places. They had like 10 different kinds, with movable dividers and nice strong latches. Between shopping and attending our neighborhood block party I felt wiped out Sat. night. Today I've felt a bit sick, like I over did it, so I worked on computer stuff, went to a birthday party and watched the latest addition to my DVD collection. Something I haven't done for a couple months now.

I'm frustrated that I haven't put one thing in my nice shiny new containers, it feels as if I didn't do anything, since I had my mind set on filling them up and getting my couch cleared off. Telling myself it's OK, I did make a big step by buying them and having a game plan, now just to implement the plan over the next few days.
