I need to start way earlier on everything. Having a huge 2 month work project, then a huge Thanksgiving, and getting so sick 12 days before Christmas nearly canceled our holiday.
The work stuff I cannot change, so I need to plan now to have the house clean and ready before October. I was washing floors and putting junk away Thanksgiving morning, with a houseful of guests expected early afternoon. I need to get back to a really good cleaning plan (start each new year but it falters), get my home improvement and decluttering stuff started now, while it is cooler. We cannot work out in the garage or outside during the summer, it is just too hot.
I also just found ornaments stuck in my hall closet that I couldn't find when I was decorating. That is why I am doing a detailed inventory of all my Christmas items. I do keep some of the more fragile items and my dishes here in the house but everything goes to storage. I just need to make sure I have everything in the right tote.
My sister will be moving to her beach house in August and we have already talked about doing holidays together. So either if I'm in Ft. Myers at her house or her family is at my house, I need to have everything organized and at the ready!
And not be sick in bed for 3 weeks!!!
