Last Week’s Wishes

  1. Stick to drinking mainly water. I did pretty good with this one. 
  2. Make it to the Gym three times this week. I made it once. I started off the week with a cough. Then when I went to the gym I started getting chest pain. I made a trip to the doctor. She said my oxygen levels were low, and that my chest wall seemed inflamed. I was given a breathing treatment and antibiotics.
  3. Catch up on my 40 Bags in 40 Days. Since I didn’t get any done last week. I got caught up a little bit but I still have more I need to do.
  4. Get everything done around the house that I have been putting off the past few weeks. Same here. I was pretty lazy this week, since I wasn’t feeling too good.

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. Make it to the gym twice if I am feeling up to it.
  2. Finish blog posts that are due, and get them scheduled.
  3. Fill out and return some paperwork that needs to be done to get help for Carsyns’ expenses.
  4. Do the 40 bags in 40 days. Plus finish things around the house. We are going to go ahead and list our house with a realtor.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
