For the past 6 months, I’ve been living in Zenaland. There will be some readers who get it, others who don’t, and yet some others who google it or look it up on google earth. (and for those of you who actually do that, it doesn’t exsist on a map, it is a state of mind so to speak)
So first. Walking. I’ve changed my ticker as you will see, as the prospect of actually logging 6 million thousand miles, so now, I’m only walking 100 for now. It’s a start and I am doing it. My husband was kind enough to teach me how to trace out a map on google earth of where I want to walk, and it tells me my distance. Fun fun huh? Then I found out that I could take a snapshot and save it, or email it, and Heather and I had fun emailing each other maps of where we live 
So, now I thought I’d share with you today’s walk, which took me 1.45 miles.
Ok, so seeing the pic like that looks like crap, but if you were to click on it, it will open up.
Looks easy enough right? Well, my town is very very far from flat to say the least, and my poor fat legs burn like hell and my butt muscles ache so it must be all good right? Ugh!
So, yah, I’m outdoors, walking, getting fresh air, and for the first time in months feel “ok”.
My house, however, is not ok. It’s downright horrible. My house has never been this messy. Kevin attributes it to the fact that I don’t have my croanies popping in unexpectedly anymore, an occurrence that few enough times brought me embarrassment for them to just “stop in”. Nor, do I have my Saturday stampfests, so why bother lol (I counter his thought with the fact that we live a million miles (ok, like 15-20) from town and although I have found a few who could be my croanies, it would be a long drive, so there would be no fear of anyone stopping by anyway. Still, this is not good lol.)
So, I am “flying” again. Yup, signed up with the Flylady, doing her 27 fling boogie, shining my sink, enduring her million a day emails, building my control journal. My house is far from clean, but remember, babysteps, babysteps, babysteps!
I signed up for the menu thing again, so now I don’t even try to plan menus, someone does it for me lol (good thing my family is open to trying new things hehe)
I will let you know how life progresses as my clutter goes bye bye.
I feel like I am finally getting a grip on my house again, and that feels good.
What about you…..do YOU have a grip on things in your life?
Ha, i’ve done flylady about a billion times *well not quite but it feels like it* I’ve been feeling kinda similar lately. Over-stressed, over tired, over-cranky, under-appreciated, over cluttered. Yup, I’ve got it too! so fun!! Plus it’s too cold here to go out and get some fresh air so I am stuck in my little shack o’ horrors
Hey, me too! Though, I bet it’s not as bad as Z-land.
I’m decluttering right now, actually. I’m taking a break. (I’ll blog it tomorrow~ thinking of making up a shirt that says”I can blog that!”) . Good for you taking a walk!
P.S. Everytime I try flylady, I end up getting P-d off…I hate having her clutter up my inbox!
Oh, how I love the flylady. Well most days. My house was good last week and then hubby came home. Now it is ok again only because he did some of the cleaning. I am very sleep deprived so I can’t bare the thought of cleaning! Will the warm weather ever come to cheer me up?
