Finishing Home Improvement Projects and the Start of School
August 28, 2024
>
Carisa
We've finished our school shopping and are ready for this week's start. My daughter is mostly excited. We've also enjoyed the end of summertime with laughs, movies, pool time and cooking. The carpet order is finally complete, and we'll await the arrival. There were wall-mounted shelves that collapsed in a closet (I kept academic books there.) I'm searching YouTube and calling my dad to help me repair the walls to minimize costs on this project. I'm strongly considering replacing it with actual bookshelves. After the home improvement projects, I should be on target to address my target goals.My dissertation writing has slowed but for good reason – quality family time! I'll begin writing again in the coming days.I'm still stressed but just trying to take care of elephants in the room (home improvement projects). This too will pass, and it will be on to the next thing.
