Still behind

While I have made forward progress this past year, I still feel very much behind on many things.

My daughter's room is one of the biggest things I feel behind on. It's in much better shape than it was. However, I had really hoped to have had more furniture built for her room by now. 

I keep trying to get simple things into a stable condition where I can focus on things like building her furniture, completing pantry shelves and things like that. This year I have spent a lot of time out of town. Got past that and went into a schedule which is difficult to accomplish things. That improved slightly, now dealing with fixing the car. 

Hope to finish the car this week. 

Going to try and finish her closet tomorrow. 

The solarium is closed on the windward side now. It's doing a much better job of keeping the house warm. Last time the furnace ran was hours ago but the temperature inside is staying stable, though outside temp has dropped dramatically more than 30 degrees. 

Daughter and I directed traffic for the Air Dance Art Space tonight. She has fun doing that. In exchange, we get to watch one performance for free. It was too busy tonight, all seats were filled, so we're going to sit in on the performance Sunday afternoon.

I haven't gotten around to dismantling the garden from the summer. Have to do it over the winter for remains to compost. Probably not going to be able to collect leaves as I have the last few years. Just too busy with other things. 

Been getting lucky hitting the markdown lumber at Home Depot, finding items I can actually use. If it's somehow irregular, it gets marked down by 70 percent but is still useable in most cases. Just not so much as bare wood, as they paint the ends purple. 

I'm tired. Getting to bed in just a minute.
