Sunday through today have been fantastic in the weather sense. In South Central Kansas we've been having some crazy weather this December. It's been going from super windy and nearly freezing cold, to warmer and raining, to sleet/hail/snow/lightening storms and then, this wonderful warm weather (with an unwanted, but we'll take it anyway, breeze). I'm not saying that it's hot or anything, I mean I don't think we've hit 70 recently, or if we have the wind-chill has made it lower. It's not paradise type weather but I'll take this over sleet/hail/snow/lightening storm!
Due to this wonderful Decemeber weather (and that my brother is home), we've done some major work in the last few days. It simply started Sunday with my brother deciding to grill some ribs we had in the freezer that were taking up far too much room, was almost ready to be tossed out and were in general waiting for the right moment to fire up the grill! I drove us up to Gander Mountain where we got my brother's favorite wood to grill with and came back to get the fire started up so it would be hot enough to grill at a decent time.
While we were waiting for the grill to heat up, my brother and I started to clean our front porch off as well as the concrete slab that sits directly off the stairs where we currently keep our (large) grill at since my brother gave it to us. It was so wonderful out that we finished the cleaning and drug mom outside where we sat her in the two seat glider and propped her legs up on her many pillows on the small deck table we had. The three of us were out there just bull shitting for the longest time, and the three dogs were happy as could be because they got unlimited playing/running around/snoofing time!
Since my brother motivated me on Sunday to clean outside to help get rid of stuff around the place that my parents have been meaning to do but haven't (for quite some time) I agreed to help any of the warm days until we got our little (well, it started out as little, now it's a bit...extravagant) to do list. So the last two days we've been working outside near the garage, and it's still not done yet but it's a massive improvement from what it was before!
This nice weather has been great for getting me back into my cleaning/organizing mode that I was in a couple of weeks ago. I kind of lost steam when it got really cold and my body was just like "nope, not gonna anything but lay in bed and read/sleep/watch Netflix/surf the internet when the internet actually works". I'm hoping that I can stay in this new motivational cleaning zone until I go back to school so hopefully I can make some new habits so I don't end up with a bunch of cleaning to do at once.
