Resolution update & highlights
Jun. 17th, 2023 10:38 amWelp, so much for posting monthly to keep myself accountable. I'm glad I didn't make posting in my dreamwidth blog a resolution tbh. Though I am hopeful I'm going to get back on track posting & commenting ...God, it's good to have hope lol. On to the resolutions:( Resolution update - 6-month mark )
It's another grey wet morning, the robins and starlings are absolutely thriving on the lawn. Seeing them dig around in the dandelion & grass makes up for the cold weather. Though I do hope we get some warmer temperatures soon. Last week I dug out all my summer clothes and I'd like to get a chance to wear them at some point this summer.
This was a good week so far. Some highlights are:
I finally tackled the rust spots in our dishwasher, using Rerack vinyl repair gloop that looks a lot like Wite-out and dishwasher rack caps.
I hauled out a few more boxes from the attic, continuing with my goal to get the attic empty. My parents used to use the attic for storage but I find it's too much of a pain in the ass to get things in and out of. When I cleared out my Dad's fishing shed in 2021, I started moving from the attic to the shed because there's way more room and no ladders.
In the attic I found a bunch of stuff that belonged to my brother which was a nostalgia bomb in mostly good ways...except the old bottles of cologne. They did not keep well these past 23 years. I get why my parents stored it all as when we moved in 2006 it had only been 6 years since he passed so I think it was still too soon for them. Still, it was a shock as I didn't realize how much his toys, hockey gear, and clothes had been kept.
My partner surprised me with an All-In-One 24MP HDMI film scanner, which I did not expect at all. I had mentioned to him that I was thinking about cleaning up all the film negatives & a pack of old slides my parents had and trying to figure out how to get digital copies. I haven't tried it out yet but now I have a new project to work on lol. Maybe something for the winter as this summer I'm hoping to get more done around the house.
