Getting Organized

I have always liked to organize stuff and to be well organized. I like to know where I have things so it’s easy to find when I need it. And in some aspects I am really good at it. When it comes to my business and daily life for example. But now and then you just have to revamp it all. Or make sure it is as you want!

I have only had Harlequin Tea for 3.5 months. It is absolutely no time at all. There are things I learn every day. I have done 4 events now, all of them quite successful actually. But this last event in Forney it dawned on me how to package my pouches in the box to make the unpacking easier on the events. Why haven’t I thought about that before?
Something that was frustrating me was the corner of my work bench. So I blend the tea and send off the recipe to a tea-sommelier who tries my recipe comes with suggestions and once we have agreed on a final product he makes a big batch of it and sends back to me. Then I repack it into smaller bags. Well when the tea comes back to me it comes in 2lbs or 6lbs bags. Now when I start to get a couple of blends (20+) it was a lot of bags. So I needed something better… I have been looking on Amazon for a while but not found any containers that was large enough. Until last week. I first bought 4 of them to make sure it was okay. (They come 4 in a box). And it was perfect. So I ordered another 4. I need a lot more but money is as always tight so I have to take a couple at a time. The last order came today and what a difference it made! I am so happy. Yesterday I also was able to get a couple of more boxes for events so I am ready to go now! This is how my work bench looks now

The goal is to get rid of the shelf in the corner once I get more of the containers. And of course there is a blanket on the floor for Twix!

The weather was awesome today. The farrier came to the barn and trimmed the girls feet. I was quite tired when I cam home, don’t know why really, but I made me a pitcher of Watermelon Iced Tea and sat on the back porch with the dogs for a while.

Just nice to sit and think and do nothing for a while. Daydreaming about what I want to do. Making more goals for myself. Trying to figure out how to go from here, how to move forward.
I’ve been alone for soon 3 years and it is time for me to take action if I want to move forward in my life. And I need a plan. Didn’t really come up with a good one but I had a nice time on the porch anyway! And it gave me the energy to go inside and clean out some of mom’s stuff. I at least filled 2 trash bags. Better than nothing. Small steps are also steps, right?
