Day 8

What a long day! I got a late start on my 10 things but I made it. Only 92 more days to go. I think at the end of 100 days I will celebrate. I am glad I am strong willed or I may have caved in by now. Another thing that keeps me from giving up is having this posted on face book. My husband is the one that posted my first two. I was not going to do it. I was playing around and created a blog and was going to try an experiment. I told Ken I was only blogging for myself and only I would read it. Ken asked me who blogs for themselves , I said I do. I am a little odd at times.

I am still at the same spot in my Spanish today. For some reason I am having a hard time remembering how to say United States. I can remember how to say where do you live. As long as they don't tell me where they live I should be good. The piano is still going pretty well. I thought for sure I would have a tough time with the arthritis in my hands but it is easier than I anticipated. I have only had one day with really stiff hands. It actually feels like playing the piano has started to limber up my fingers a little. I am almost done with my book. I have lots and lots of books with bookmarks in them that I have not finished. That is one of my projects. My banister  along the stairs is nice and shiny now. I think I will be smelling old English on my hands all night. After several years I have finally removed clothes from my dresser that I have no intention of wearing. I wrote down one of the new recipes I created. I need to start taking pictures of my new dishes I create for my cookbook.I got quite a bit of organizing done tonight too.

This has been really good for me. I see light at the end of the tunnel even if it takes a while to get there. I have noticed tonight I am developing new habits. I kick my shoes off at the end of the bed everyday and leave them there . If I wear several different pairs during the week they eventually get kicked under the bed and then I have to lay on the floor in the morning and look for the shoes I want. Today I kicked them off and walked away and when I came back and saw them it bugged me to no end and I picked them up and put them in my shoe rack .A friend had bought me a necklace with earings and I set them on the dresser and thought I will put them away tomorrow. I put them on my dresser and went to walk away and I couldn't . I had to put them away in my Jewelry box. After 100 days I should be really disciplined :)
