Every Sunday night, I ask myself, “What’s on the current agenda?”
What new stressful things await me this week?
First of all, why are the months going so fast? I can’t believe another one will be in the books by the end of the week.
Anyways, here’s the list of what’s on the current agenda..
My daughter and her horse were accepted to be in a clinic at an upcoming horse fair. It’s so exciting being able to take him. But there’s lots to get ready and we don’t have much time!!
It’s almost time to start working on the garden but I’m not ready! I want to plant everything in different places this year but I can’t decide where to put anything. I need some sort of rock solid solutions to weeds and watering. Lastly, there needs to be a plan for conquering powdery mildew and squash bugs.
Next is the dog. She’s really doing good but she’s still a puppy and very rambunctious. I took her to training class today and the instructor complimented me after class. He said I’m really doing a good job with her. That was nice to hear since I can’t seem to do anything right lately.
eBay sales are going very well… kind of. I couldn’t list anything for the last couple of months because of the puppy and being sick. So, my traffic came to a screeching halt. I think it’s finally moving again now that I’ve been listing regularly. Lots of changes coming in this area also. This definitely plays into the hoarding. Collecting things to “sell” on eBay is fun. But actually listing the things is a whole other story. You can’t actually sell anything if it’s not listed so I am listing 3 things every single day. Right now, it’s all contained in one area and I’ve been getting rid of things that I don’t want to actually list.
The lounge. I have this place called “The Lounge” for lack of a better name. This is where all of the stuff from the old house is. There’s so much to get rid of in there. But it takes a lot of time. I’d like to get it cleared out as soon as possible so I can make it into an office. I need a place to go to get away from the cats.
The plan this summer was to work on fixing up the barn. It needs some work and it’s impossible to do anything in the winter. Painting is on the top of the list for this area.
Riding the horses more this year is also on the list. Ever since I fell off years ago, I’m a very nervous rider. But, it’s getting easier now that I can ride here. When we first moved here, there were some days where I could only muster up enough courage to get on and get off. Now, I can usually at least walk around a little bit and even pick up a trot once in awhile.
Lastly for right now is figuring out what a farm certificate is, what I need to do, how do I get one and what actually constitutes a farm. If you have any idea, please let me know in the comments. Thanks!
