22.05.12 - Avoid Procrastination

Much like my discussion about prioritizing, sometimes we can get bogged down in our pages and focus solely on that high priority project. But often, other things fall by the wayside - cleaning, dishes, laundry - and we end up with an interesting living space. I know I'm guilty of cultivating dust bunnies (elephants?), piles of dishes, and a paucity of undergarments... but what happens when the house maintenance doesn't get done?!

As you know, we recently moved here... it was an estate sale and so we knew little to nothing about the house. Indeed, since a bank wasn't involved, our "inspection" was more of a cursory review. Well, today... the bug guy came and told us all three outbuildings are riddled with termites. Great. Good news, we caught it in time so as to avoid the buildings being destroyed; bad news, pretty darned expensive.

Remember to balance everything - sleep, work, diet, exercise, home maintenance. Easier said than done, but doing so could save some heartache. All I can say is "phew"!!!
