Simplifying

Today is the day I am going to start simplifying my life a bit.

I'm going to start by giving several of the dogs flea baths. The younger female and the two older puppies are going to the shelter. Have to clean out the back of the car first. In about 3 weeks, I'll repeat the process with the older female and the younger puppies, after they're weaned. This will immediately decrease my dog food cost, reduce the poop I have to pick up, reduce destruction and make it much calmer to walk out the back door.

Today I am also going to get all the papers together, post on CL and sell the Camaro. Maybe clean out the truck and go ahead and sell that, as well. 

The money saved and earned from the above tasks will help me bring the mortgage current faster. Haven't made the calculation but may have it current within the week. 

Of course, the wind blew part of the covering off the plant shelves last night. So far, doesn't look like any major damage occurred because of it. Mostly pumpkin plants were exposed and they tolerate temps just above freezing and it didn't get into a deep freeze last night. The tomatoes and peppers were still mostly protected. 

Probably clear some space in the pantry and maybe build another shelf in there today. Then get some work done to organize the workshop. Those are two of the worst areas of the house and also two spots which will allow me to get other places more in order. 

Meant to wake up earlier but it was too cold to get much done. Only lost one hour from originally planned waking time, though. 

Have to go feed the monster before getting them ready to go.
