I am a person who likes a routine. I like to plan out my week ahead. I do not like spur of the moment changes. So getting sick wasn't part of the plan this past week.
However despite being sick I did manage to get the part of the basement painted that I planned on painting this past week. It wasn't done until Saturday morning, but it was done. Part of the issue with this basement decorating is that I can't do it all at once, it's too much for my hands. Also I went and booked a company to come and clean the carpet and stairs down to the basement at the end of the month. So I have a deadline; which is not something I normally do.
A bonus this past week, was getting more books read than I planned on doing this month, therefore cleaning out more books that have been laying around. I will say though, the Jane Austen books are on hold as I can't handle them at the moment.
My goal for this basement for the upcoming week is to get it all painted and finished. That will then give me another good week or so, to clean out cupboards and drawers down there and finishing tidying up in the laundry room before the end of the month. That way I can do another trip to the charity store to donate stuff.
Oh and finally we got rid of the last of the snow........I hope I am not jinxing myself by saying this; as it is nearly the middle of April. Hubby actually got out on Saturday and did the first of the winter cleanup. It's far from being warm, but it's above freezing so we will take that as a win!

Hope you're feeling much better. At least you can look at the results of your painting and feel accomplished.
While you are doing the first cleanup after winter, we have cut the lawn three times already out of necessity. There are trade offs everywhere. A little longer dormant season would not be a bad thing.
Your doing lots of work. I think setting a deadline is a good thing. That makes you keep going and not procrastinating.
I’m a good procrastinator.
You have reminded me I have been wanting to get the carpets cleaned since before Christmas. I left it till after Christmas because you know. Grandchildren
And suddenly it’s after Easter and it’s still not done
See what I mean
Nothing worse than feeling ill and trying to get things done. I do hope you feel better very soon.
God bless.
I do hope you are feeling better!
