The past couple of months have been rough. My family and I went on a staycation and stayed in a hotel for a weekend. We came back home and we all got sick. My child was sick first. thought she had a cold due staying in a different place during the changing of seasons. Two days later I got sick with the same thing but was a little worse. About a day to a day and a half later my husband got sick with the same thing, seemed like a cold, but was the worse of all and ended up in the hospital for a few days with fluid in his lung. He still has issues with swelling. Since then, I’m still having issues coughing. We were all tested for COVID and all tests came back negative, but the doctor believes otherwise. We just had different levels of how we were effected. So basically the past six weeks or so I have been dealing with asthma due to the environment and at the same time trying to still take care of my family, finishing the school year, which ended well, and also decluttering/organizing my home trying to work on my business of Uncluttered Lanes.

The end of May I was trying to get my house ready for family to come and stay for a while and visit. I was a little happy that plans changed for them to come next month. Due to breathing issues it was taking a little longer for me to do things and then the weather getting warmer made breathing even more of a challenge. However, despite all of that, success and so much progress has been made. Plus, I went to the doctor the other day and my breathing and coughing are starting to get under control. I’m able to do a bit more, but still have to take it easier.

The successes and progress that has been made are our laundry room is almost done completely getting the insulation and drywall up. We just have one side to do and then get drywall up to cover the areas that are not covered, all of the gaps. Our spare bedroom is mostly ready for guests to stay. We just need to add little touches to the room to make it more comfortable and homey for guests. I have also been working on my kitchen trying to get it to where it will very functional for me and everything can flow in there making it easier for me to cook and clean and others to do the same when I’m not able to be in there. That way they can keep the kitchen organized and functional flowing smoothly and I can come back in without having to put it back together again.

We are also trying to get other things going so that we can run our own business(es) and work from home together. As I have mentioned before I am a perfectionist and I’m trying not to let that get in the way, but I am trying to figure out to get things setup in order to make money in different ways so that we don’t have to rely on one way to earn an income. I am keeping it in the forefront of my mind that this is a learning process and this is a learn as you go type of thing also.

I am planning on trying to post pictures of my progress and videos of my decluttering journey, but at the same time I am learning how to do those things, especially with the video part. So please, join me enjoy this wonderful journey on the Uncluttered Lanes. Have a great week everyone. Don’t forget, it wonderful to stop, take a rest, a day of play, to smell the flowers, and enjoy the view of nature and/or your family around you. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Be kind. Love and help others. Thank you for those who are traveling with me on this journey. I greatly appreciate it.
