FlyLady (Days 3-5)

Day three: Doing what we have already done
  • Getting Dressed to Lace up Shoes: Okay, I'm kind of failing on this one. I got dressed, but I haven't showered or done my hair. I'm kind of resistant to actually getting dressed, because I really, really, really need to go buy clothes. I don't know what happened to my clothes, but I can find about one pair of pants and 3 shirts, excluding my work uniform. I hate spending money on clothes, but I am gonna suck it up and buy some on sunday I guess. (its entirely possible that the creepy old man who I SAW steal my underwear out of the dryer has escalated to stealing my clothing, I guess. Sometimes apartment living is weird.)
  • Shining the sink.
    Well, I made Troy (my partner if I haven't clarified that yet on this blog) do the dishes last night. Does that count? :P And did them this morning. Troy and I do not live alone, so after we go to bed dishes pile up.
Day Four
Basically, sign up for the newsletter. Theres enough crap in my inbox to make me reluctant about doing this, haha.

Day Five
Your supposed to like, write down some negative thoughts and make them happy. Ugh, See, this is where I resist the FlyLady. Doing this sort of thing reminds me of this class I was forced to take in 9th grade because the school decided I was at risk of dropping out. Essentially some really annoying guy screamed at us for an hour telling us to unlock our potential or some shit.

Day six is Hot Spots, so, at least it will be interesting again.

FlyLady (two days in)

I don't know why I always try to do this thing, but here goes again. I know a messy house is bad for magic, but now that I'm with Troy, we aren't really messy, just very disorganized. Now that I have a job,  am going to school, and doing Magical Circle School.. I really need to stop chasing myself around every time I try to do something. So, maybe the whole flylady thing will help with that, at least the house keeping aspect.

Day one is Shine your Sink.
I don't really see the point in actually shining the sink.. clean it out, yeah, but make it all pretty? When five minutes after I am done somebody will pour coffee in it, or put some dirty crap in it? Nah. Oh, I have a sink peeve. Seems to be a thing old people do, mostly, but anyway, when people put the dishrag over the faucet of the sink. Gives me the germ willies just seeing that!

Day two is Get Dressed to Lace Up Shoes.
 Okay, I'll do this today. (Yes, I am posting this blog in my PJ's.) Tomorrow, I work, so I don't know. I am not wearing my work clothes all day, because they smell like wet dog and other unsavory things. But, I don't really want to take the time to change before I leave. Yeah, lazy lazy.

Doing the Melomeals?

(Yes, by the way, this is the food post I was talking about in the last blog.)

I'm thinking about it.
Today, I am throwing together some crock pot chili.
I'll probably freeze half of that, unless its disgusting. (Never freeze food that you aren't sure you like. it will sit in your freezer like a space hogging brick... forever.)

Tomorrow, I have off, so IDK what I will cook. I cannot cannot cannot do crockpot cooking while I am home, I keep poking at it, lol.

Friday, I will probably make a stew recipe I found. It is also Shopping Day, so I will try to plan out what to make before next week before then.

The easy way to post a blog.

Amanda has a video on this same phenomenon.. only with boiling water. I've had days where I've done this with every single task I try to complete. Usually, not at work, or I'd lose my job, but sometimes, yeah.
At home though, its like, 50% of the time.

Posting a blog goes like this.
Decide to post a blog about... anything, but lets say food.
Pick up knitting.
Put down knitting.
Remember you were going to post a blog.

Remember you were going to post a blog about food.
Decide to cook food instead.
Walk to the kitchen.
Walk out of the kitchen.
Feed the fish.
Remember you were going to cook.
Open cupboards.
See hot chocolate mix. 
Decide to make hot chocolate.
Set hot chocolate mix on the counter.
Walk to the living room.
Sit on the couch.
Remember you were going to post a blog about food.
Walk towards the bedroom.
Go into the bathroom instead.
See the toothpaste.
Decide to brush your teeth.
Open bathroom cabinets.
Get your tooth brush.
Close bathroom cabinets.
Decide the mirror needs to be washed.
Carry your toothbrush to the closet.
Get the window cleaner.
Spray window cleaner on the mirror.
Remember you were going to post a blog.
Turn on the computer.
Check email.
Finally, post a blog about posting a blog.
