This past week has reminded me of how energizing productivity can be. When you get things done, even if it's not everything you'd planned, you feel motivated to do more.
I'm feeling especially motivated by everything I've gotten done because we've been doing big things with the house organization, and as a result I can really see everything we've accomplished. It's a good feeling!
That being said, last week was a trying week. On Friday I spent my day dealing with two plugged drains and a leaking disposal. I really thought I'd be spending the weekend replacing the disposal. Fortunately that didn't turn out to be the case, as once the kitchen drain was cleared, the disposal stopped leaking. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before those leaks get bad enough to be a problem even without a sink full of water, especially since that disposal has been jamming on us periodically over the last year or two. But I'll take the reprieve and be glad of it for now!
As you can imagine, the home maintenance work threw a wrench in my plans later on in the week, but truth be told my week had already gone astray. Here's the rundown.
Doll stringing ebook: Still putting this off, although I need to put it back on my to-do list soon, since it's becoming evident that I won't accomplish all the content I was hoping to do.
Ruby Ransome: I'm still putting off working on the novel as well, but I did spend time last week on a training NaNoWriMo headquarters asked Municipal Liaisons to do. I can't believe NaNoWriMo is coming up so fast! Only two months before the madness begins!
Blogging and website maintenance: I am pleased to have gotten some other blogging than just this weekly post done last week, even though I didn't get around to doing the massive content push I've been intending to do for my doll business. I do still want to do a little of that, so I hope to get started on it this week, but I no longer have the Herculean expectations I originally had for myself. I'm also planning to continue the other blog posts, both here and on my other blogs.
Other projects: I've been working a lot on organizing this past week, and I'm happy to say that it's paying off. The living room is beginning to look how I want it and I'm getting doll displays put up where I want them too. As things get organized and put away, I can start producing content as well as getting organized to start selling again. We got some more of it done this evening, and I have more projects planned for the rest of the week and especially the weekend, as my husband will have a four-day weekend due to the holiday on Monday.
On the horizon: The museum's Fall Show is looming closer! I did get business cards ordered, and just in the nick of time: I should be getting them early next week, and then the show is that weekend. I still need to plan that exhibit and possibly get some dolls ready for it too. I am on the fence about this "collab" opportunity, as I suspect they were just trying to recruit new users for their site, and not actually looking for a real collab opportunity with me. I'm wondering if it's worth my time to investigate further, or if I should just drop it now.
Due to my husband's short week, my week will probably be a little short as well, as I don't try to do a lot of work when he's off. I'm okay with that, though, as I seem to get more done with the cleaning and organization projects when he's helping!
