House In Order, day 1

[cjsmith]

- Signed a big pile of financial papers Rob put in front of me. Yes, they were a good thing; yes, it counts toward the challenge.
- IMMEDIATELY FILED the one piece that should stay with me. In the CORRECT folder, which is even LABELED (my bugaboo).
- Discussed interior decorating improvements with Rob in preparation for his meeting with a decorator type person tomorrow. (I can't be there because she only works during work hours. I am amazed she gets enough business to stay afloat, if her entire clientele is people without day jobs.)
- Folded one load of laundry and put another in the dryer.

That was well over a half hour. It just happened that there was a lot to do tonight. The decorator and the paper signing both needed to be tonight, plus I was out of socks. Still to do tonight: litterbox.

I am starting to suspect that what this will REALLY teach me is how much time I already spend doing this stuff.

On the bright side, a 1/2 hour a day sounds a lot more doable than, oh, say 2 hours a day.

*nod* I chose the 1/2 hour a day because the commitment was to a minimum time working on this stuff. I needed an amount of time I could still do on even my busiest days. I think I honestly didn't realize how much time I routinely spend on "maintenance crap" (as I think of it) on my non-busiest days.

I did get the mail, thanks - and yes, I think I am interested. Initially I thought "gosh, this seems like a lot of trouble" yet my mind kept going back to it. Clearly I will be disappointed in myself if I pass up this opportunity! Thank you for offering.
