Saturday

Taking a break from cleaning and organizing, my usual procrastination. I was up this morning around 5 am, more than likely due to the fact that that is the time I get up to go to work. I tried to go back to sleep, but my mind was racing with all of the things I could get accomplished today. Hmm. I went out for a bit this morning looking at some used furniture places, i.e. "Belongings" (downtown Duncan) and "Oh my gosh" (at Whippletree). I love their stuff! They bring in old things, fix them up and sell them for somewhat reasonable prices. I found a great bedside table (I am looking for two) at "Oh my gosh", but it was $249.00, but it is an antique and it was originally from Cowichan Station. The owner did say that they get things like that in all the time but they are pretty much one of a kinds, which is cool. I'll have to talk about it with Geoff and see what he thinks. I'd also like to get a sleigh bed for our room, but that is a little out of our price range at the moment. I'll need to save my loonies and twoonies for that!

Both of the places that Geoff and I like in Sooke have come down in price quite a bit in the last week. I hope this is a good sign for us to buy soon. I have an appointment with the bank at the end of the month to see what our prospects are like. I need to keep remembering to pray, so that we can be led where we need to go, not just where we want to go.

I'm thinking of changing the furniture around in the living room again. I get bored every so often with the layout, so will see what I can come up with today.

I have requested vacation during the week of Thanksgiving and the first week of December. I am hoping that during that week of Thanksgiving to not only indulge in turkey, but to also purge our house of some more of our clutter (might be a time to have a garage sale, might be too late in the year, but will wait and see). I took the first week of December off, so that either I can be working on our new pad (I hope) or to get the Christmas decorations out and about or both! I love the season and usually decorate on the 1st of December.

Well, I think I have had a long enough break for now. Should get back at the cleaning and organizing!
