April, 2021: Checked

April was a beautiful month — blooming daffodils and dogwood.

We have been cutting fresh flowers from the yard all month.

In accordance with my word for the month: RENEWAL, we were notified that the contract for a new septic system would finally get started. Nothing could have pleased me more.

We were so excited when the sand for the “sand mound” septic system was delivered.

In addition to the numbered list below:

I added an air purifier to the master suite which has made a huge improvement in my breathing.
The 21″ tall air purifier is tucked behind my Zoom corner chair.

Upgraded Zoom Corner
I closed a bank account which had begun (without notice) to charge a monthly fee and opened a new free account with another local bank.
I ungammed my gammy right leg by getting cortisone shots in both my hip and my knee. The reduced inflammation is such an improvement.
I lost 15 pounds.
I cleaned and descaled the espresso machine.

My espresso machine gets daily use.

Now on to the numbered list:

Celebrate Easter. We celebrated at home with a three-course meal.
Remove one box from attic. Charlie brought down a heavy box filled with old (1990s) swimming meet rosters. They have been recycled along with the old box.
Refresh and relist all items on Marketplace and Craigslist.
Selling spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle.

I got started relisting old items and adding some new ones that I am eager to part with.
Work on a shore house project.
Making slow progress.

Sug and I returned once again to work on the Bed Nook. We are making progress.
See a movie: An Affair to Remember. This good, old, romantic movie was such a delight to watch. No smut just romantic and altruistic love. I loved it.
The Empire State Building figures significantly in the movie.
Read a book: The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain. This book was a pleasure to revisit. The resiliency of children in a cruel time was uplifting.
Take a day trip — Rawlings Conservatory.
The orchid room was the highlight of the Rawlings Conservatory.
Continue to get rid of clutter in Treetops room. I have removed more books and sports equipment.
Pick a word to focus on for the month. My word: RENEWAL.
Write a goal list for May, 2021.
