The Benefit of Working


Today was soooo nice. I thoroughly enjoyed having an extra, no-agenda planned, day. Ahhhhh! I was able to get the house all clean on Friday night so I could enjoy this long weekend. Smart! So I thought today I would like to get out the Fall decorations. But didn't want to stress out about it if I didn't get to it.

But, I did!! Yay! And just like every year prior, I hauled everything out and strew all the leaves and pumpkins, scarecrows and everything else imaginable from one side of the house to the other, with boxes and bags all over the place, and then lose steam. Uugggg! Well, Dave and Charity were having a movie marathon. I really just wanted to be with them. And as I sat there enjoying time with my family, the boxes of Fall paraphernalia haunted me. And I knew I only had one choice: finish what I started. So I did! And boy, did it feel good when I put those rubber totes back out in the garage and returned to my freshly, Fall-decorated abode.

It may not seem like a big deal, but I don't think I've ever taken on a this task in just one day. Usually the goods remain strewn for days as I slowly put everything in its place. Not this year. I just couldn't possibly return to work tomorrow with my nice, clean house and then, such clutter everywhere. So I got 'er done!

So for once, yay for work! And that it encouraged me to complete the job started. Guess it's not all bad! :) The paycheck is nice, too!!
