And hello weekend, how I love thee! We can also look forward to a short working week next week thanks to Good Friday and as I have the Tuesday off after Easter Monday, so I am looking at a 5 day break from work, so wonderful.
I mentioned quite a few times at the end of last year, when I must have been feeling very jaded, that I was looking at a career change in the new year, well obviously, that didn't happen. I am staying where I am for the foreseeable future as the pro's out way the con's and at my age it is probably the most sensible thing to do. We have a great team who are very friendly and we all get along very well, that in itself is motivation enough to stay. I know my job very well, and I am good at it, enabling me to allow brain space for other stuff in my life that I need to focus on. Such as clearing out my late MIL home next door. You will be pleased to know I have made a start in the laundry of all places, as I thought it would be a little easier than other more personal places in her home.
Even though it is just a laundry, really no bigger than usual, it still has a lot in it, they had cupboards and draws added along one wall and it was full to overflowing. I have now cleared just that one section and now have to tackle the big double storage cupboard that actually contains my late MIL's "sewing room"wish me luck for that space.
I have been doing this little bit of sorting out every Tuesday afternoon, after I come back from taking the dogs for a walk and this week I also got a little bit done on Wednesday afternoon, as it was raining and the little dogs only got a tiny walk in before the heavens opened up again.
