Ok.....stayed got 2 hours sleep then stayed up all monday night to finish painting the flooring with the 2nd coat of kilz......& they came to install my linoleum Tuesday morning....bright & early....only thing they had to help me move a few last things out of the room...nothing that was furniture just empty boxed & a puppy pen that I wasn't using any longer. I had purchased the transitions for the flooring between the rooms & the closet & found out that what they suggested was the wrong thing when it came right down to how the flooring was laid.....so glad I didn't stain it.

Dang....I have enough extra linoleum & materials that my kitchen can be done........that would be interesting....2 rooms for the price of one......but that's going to be far out in the future.

Anyway, now I have this beautiful wood grained looking flooring in the master bedroom that I'm going to use as my craft room.....& I'm going to move all the things like my tools that I had spread all over the dining room floor.......so now the organizing starts & the moving & boxing.....it's encouraging to have all that space to actually make good use of.....& I still love my cozy little bedroom but some of the boxes that I had in there waiting for the flooring to be done will be moving back into the finished room.......I will get around to painting the walls.....the whole room needs freshened up now.....but I can paint my organized room......got a lot of work to do getting everything organized & boxed in an organized way.....but this is a wonderful start...& it will get things into one room where I can find things now as right now things get dropped all over the house never to be found. I couldn't even find my purse to find the keys to my truck to move it for the guys yesterday morning.......I felt so lame & so out of it.....but I finally found where I dropped my purse the night before when I got home from a birthday dinner I went out for......it will be nice to have an organized house where I really can find the things I am looking for rather than wandering around the house like a chicken with my head cut off saying "I know it's here somewhere".

So the work begins...........


We had a discussion at the birthday dinner.....about how I tend to be where I am & do what I'm doing at the moment.....the comment was that I was a compartmentalized thinker......& I realized that's seriously my problem because I will be working on something & if I don't get it all finished & get distracted with something else....then that something else is where my focus is & I don't get back to what it was that I was initially working on.....I am where I am at the moment....good thing about it is that when I go somewhere....I am home wherever I am...so I never get homesick....& most of the time I never look back at my life....except for a few major things that have happened & the trauma I went through.....but when I get so totally involved with the now & what I'm doing...nothing else is really on my mind......however I must say....painting the floor allowed my mind to wander....it took no brains so my mind went all over the place because I was definitely stuck doing the painting as it had to be done by Tuesday morning......I don't have a working phone at the moment so I couldn't call to postpone the installation.....good thing for me as it forced me to get it ready & not distract myself with anything else or procrastinate any longer.
