This week, I passed another milestone.
My housework and yard work became housework and yard work.
That is, I can now do the lawn and other things in the same day without wearing myself out.
I have done a workout in the morning, followed by cutting the grass, and then went in to shower, followed by doing my other chores, all in the same day.
I am a househusband for those who didn't figure this out before. I do the house work and cooking, and everything else because I am home more often than my wife.
She brings home the main paycheck. We have done this for years, and although she wants me to change that, I am not able to for several reasons that I will tell a shrink and leave you to figure out on your own.
So, right now, I am at the point of finishing everything I started at the beginning of the summer.

- I have to paint the stairwell in the basement, and then move the exercise equipment to where I want it. I can now run all the way around the basement without tripping over boxes, old furniture, and trash. And, I can see because the walls are freshly painted. No more dark corners.
- I have a pile of furniture on the porch that was formerly in the house waiting to be picked up and taken to the dump. I already got rid of the old refrigerator, water heater, and washer as reported in an earlier post.
- My studio is set up after being painted. I am in the process of trying to sell some music equipment in order to downsize my collection. I need a smaller sound system so I don't have to carry the large one.
- The back bedroom is ready for my wife to paint and design as soon as we get out of debt.
- I am working on a debt elimination program which should be ready by next week. Thank you Dave Ramsey. Unless I win the lottery this weekend, he is my last hope before bankruptcy.
When this post is published, things will have changed again, and I hope to have moved forward again. I hope your Labor day holiday is a good one.
BTW, just FYI, and off topic:
Today, I covered 130 miles in my school bus to transport 7 kids to and from school.

It really is truly amazing how much more we can do when we shed the weight. For me it took the knee replacement surgery, but what a difference. I have energy, enthusiasm and a new confidence. It sounds like you have the same. Good luck with your finances!
