Determination Plus A Strong Latte

Good morning!  How's your Saturday?
 
I woke up at 6 o'clock even though I didn't go to bed until a few hours before.  I swear if I were to go to bed at 5 o'clock, my body would still only allow me to sleep until six.  That internal alarm clock gets me every time.  But the truth is even when I was seven years old, I always got up early.  I liked to watch movies before going to school or play with my dolls.  There was a brief period in high school/college where I actually learned the art of sleeping in...
 
 
Anyways, at least I can say a lot has happened in the last four hours.  First there was a latte (a very strong one might I add) and then a big bowl of oatmeal with ground flaxseed, cinnamon, a taste of maple syrup, and a splash of almond milk.  And then...I went to work.
 
There is a floor!
If you remember the picture from the other day, this floor has not experienced sunlight all week long.  I have just breathed a huge sigh of relief.  Getting the clothes put away was the first really big step.  As you can see there is still pictures/artwork to be hung, but that's nothing in comparison to floors being covered with clothes.  Tell me you too understand how good it feels to clean a room up!  All week long I've been stepping on things in an attempt to get a work outfit.  It's amazing how clutter can hinder mental clarity. 
 
 
There is still more organization to happen, but it's truly livable now - WOO HOO!!!  I even came out with a box of clothes to donate.  They were pieces that I looked at and thought "ok I haven't worn you in a few years and I probably never will..."  Let those clothes go to someone who needs them much more than me.  
 
Ok, I could move on to paying bills right now...no, no, no...that's more a Monday morning task.  I'll just stick with getting another latte ;)
 
Are you doing any organizing this weekend? Or cooking anything delicious?

  1. I wish I could be a morning person! I feel like I'd be much more productive. I really should do some cleaning/organizing this weekend... my room is a messsss. But instead, I'm going to be lazy on the couch for a little while :)

    1. laziness is totally acceptable - it's the weekend! Are you a night person?? Sometimes I'm more productive late at night...

  2. I consider myself a morning person but my mornings usually start around 7 or 8. I really need to do some house cleaning but instead I will be spending most of the weekend working on grad papers and hopefully fitting in a long run! Hope you have a great weekend :)

  3. Mmmm, latte looks good. I still need to get that latte maker/convince Tyler I need it ASAP! haha

    I'm slacking on A LOT of things lately. Mainly until the 16th when I'm done school. I hope I find household motivation after that haha

    1. haha you would love the latte maker!! It's hard to get the household motivation at times, but me stepping on my clothes all week long did the trick! Almost the 16th!!!

  4. I am the same way! No matter how late I go to bed at night, I am always up super early in the morning. For the most part I'm fine with it, but once vacation happens and I just want to sleep in.. ah it drives me nuts, Ha Ha!

    Hope you had a wonderful rest of the weekend <3
