Non sum qualis eram

I’m easing into the bike.  The first 5 minutes on it I got a charlie horse.  So’s I did the 30 minutes today, but I definitely dogged it a bit.  I’m still sore.  I got a lot of other things done.

I disassembled the treadmill of doom and turned the fancy tv back into a tv.  The bike’s a lot quieter and there’s no place for the mouse or keyboard.  So, the tv works out a lot better.  That just meant going back to the old monitor.  I never thought a 19″ monitor could look so small!

The big decision was to take the house back.  More old business.  The first thing I did after the breakup was to close off half the house.  I open the door to the kids’ rooms when they’re here.  Otherwise, I generally leave them shut off.  I check them out after I take them back and then give them a once over before they come back– sheets and stuff.  The other rooms were pretty much storage.  The stuff she left.  I really converted the place into an apartment.  Those days are coming to and end.

Tonight I cleared out our old bedroom.  I’m planning on moving back in this weekend.  I converted the living room into my current bedroom.  It’s kind of grandiose having this huge room as a bedroom.  I just finally realized that I kind of hide out in here unless the kids are home.  That ain’t exactly healthy.  ‘Sides, I’m not paying this mortgage just to have an efficiency apartment.

Tomorrow I’m gonna go work on the kitchen.  I’ve been storing the new canned goods on the counter.  About 3 or 4 months ago I wrote a blog on my myspace about how I had no idea what was in my cupboards.  It was just the stuff she left in them.   Tomorrow night I’m gonna take care of that.

My final goal is to have gone through every cupboard and closet in this place by Sunday.  Sunday is my day off.   Except for the bike, of course!  Then Monday I’m gonna start in on the New Business.   It’s no wonder I’ve been fighting with motivation.  I can’t really move forward until I get all the old stuff taken care of.

I’m feeling motivated.
