I completely forgot last month that I had made a list of things that I was aiming to do! It felt like the last two weeks have been packed with doing work and making things happen! Let’s see how I went anyway…<\/p>\n

– have air conditioning installed<\/del> finally!<\/em>
\n– pick tiles for the bathroom renovations ugh, no, not yet<\/em>
\n– change over the washing machines I own two, and the one I like better is still outside <\/em><\/del>
\n– track down my shower screen I gave up, it never came, and I’m going to buy one from a brick and mortar store<\/em>
\n– find a wall calendar big enough to start tracking when I need to do washing and other odd jobs<\/del> Eli\u00a0brought one home for work! Best!<\/em>
\n<\/del><\/p>\n

March is going to have some of February’s goals carried over…<\/strong><\/p>\n

– pick tiles for the bathroom renovations We’ve semi-done this. <\/em>
\n– buy a shower screen I need to call the store to get this done.<\/em>
\n– finish chopping down the three trees in the way of my rose garden. I’ve chopped one and a half trees so far.
\n<\/del>– <\/em>decide on the height of my raised garden bed and put in the stakes to hold the mesh
\n<\/em>– finish painting the laundry<\/del><\/del>
\n<\/del><\/em><\/del><\/em>– continue sorting through all the stuff I’ve brought to our new house from my parents house
\n– buy\/find plastic boxes that fit nicely into the spaces left under our new bed frame. Anyone have any ideas on where to source these second hand???<\/em><\/strong>
\n– Keep working on my art\/craft stuff, so that I can finish one of my many projects by winter!
\n<\/del><\/del><\/p>\n

I’m doing a lot of teaching for the next 3 months, so we’ll see how I go on everything. I’ll probably add some more jobs mid-month if I think of some (and remember to post here).<\/p>\n
