Started off a bit late today… I overslept more than usual 🙂. Instead of my usual walk, I decided to head up to the topmost floor .... the 3rd floor, which I hardly visit except for laundry.
There was plenty waiting for me there. The guest room hadn’t been set back after A left; even the water jug and glass were still sitting on the study desk. Once I was in, I couldn’t resist straightening the creases of the bed 🙂. I also checked the washroom since the property manager had mentioned that unused bathrooms can contribute to that unpleasant, “stale” smell.
It all gave me a few steps on my tracker and it didn’t feel like work at all.
Next, I wandered into the other bedroom, which has become our “store room” (but also has my favourite bed .. the daybed). After moving into this house, I don’t think I’ve really relaxed on it! In our previous home, it was in the first-floor common living space, so it was always in reach. Here, with no living space on each floor, I miss that easy access.
Since that room also doubles as our “gym,” I had to smile.... We downsized our equipment after moving from the PDO to Madinal Al Ilam and then to AL khoudh, so now it’s more of a multi-use room than a gym. And honestly .... thank God! If we’d brought the massive treadmill and elliptical (Abb’s favourite), there would be no space left. Instead, we just kept the spin bike, the barbell sets, some weights, and the medicine ball. Much more manageable 🙂......n Abbie didnt want to let go of her old study desk tat it got a space too..I took time to tidy it a bit..wanted to dust the floors but then thought I may lose the momentum.
I grabbed the 3kg weights on each and walked in...did a bit of strength and then decided to go down befroe kids leave....thanks to B for agreeing to take over the morning....breakfast :) I prep and leave some stuff but he has to execute it...and has been doing a great job..
As...i came down I saw all colorful balanced plates for kids too.....
Then I decided it was time to work on the outside .....more way to get steps and get work done..or when I was the top floor I did fold a lot of laundry, and put them in rooms..so tha was more steps...and this doesnt feel like I did a lot...
So outside...I grabbed the broom to clear the dried leave on the floor tuest me I go tmy sunglight dose, and my house cleaned plus 26 mins of exercise felt so good!! As i was diong all this I made it a point to water the plants...welll I am no plant lover but the previous tenatns had some that braved and stood ...the heat and summer..since 3 days I amw atering them..that gives me like 3000 steps wow!! ..
Came in to have my breakfast.....x
