Oops! I forgot to post the update as I am behind on everything. It has been difficult to clear the living room this week. Nothing has gone as planned (as if it ever does) and a tight schedule with multiple challenges has been tough to deal with. I have had eBay problems, a lost tent [...]

Progress week 10 – What can I say?

I dreaded taking a picture of the living room this week. I did not devote enough time to the mess and worse yet…I shopped. I had a few minor family and work issues that had me down and I slipped. But I am pleased that I showed more restraint than I thought possible. Like an [...]
