Good morning and howdy!
So yesterday I failed to blog. I can-NOT promise blogging daily would be possible due to being distracted with chores and keeping mostly busy at home.
However, I saw John Jr had “liked” my first post for this year 2026! Thanks.
Anyways, here is yesterday’s image showing two pieces of furnitures, which are located on the southeast corner wall of our living room space.
Over the course of ten month and starting around July 2025 of last year, my elderly father and I have donated small household items and furnitures and his old tools from the garage, which we decluttered, cleaned and dusted, too!
During this one year my blogging hiatus, I’ve learned the fine art of Feng Shui compliance, which helped with ADA compliance and the latest “awareness” of keeping MY house somewhat clean and tidy.
I’ve kept the little spiders living along the baseboards to help with ongoing black carpenter ants in check. I’m weird. Shut-up.
Since last year, I was stressed out. Something felt off while living indoors mostly as a shut-in.
I had the strange foreboding feeling that if I do NOT declutter MY house while I still had the strength to move heavy furnitures – I wouldn’t be able to “move on” with my life.
Lo and behold, I got sick after this month’s full moon frenzy! I’ll share this personal experience later on.
Anyways, I managed to rearrange the remaining heavy wooden furnitures:
- two bedroom sets (night stands, mirrors atop dressers, headboards, mattresses, bed frames, and armoire for dad and desk for me);
- one oblong dining room table and matching eight chairs;
- one upright Kimball piano, which was tuned professional last December 2025 after years of disservice; and
- Mom’s 5-piece French Provincial living room sofa, chaise, coffee table, lamp stand and tall gaudy lamp;
- and a few cheaper and lighter furnitures.
With these new Feng Shui compliant efforts, the flow of energy indoor is supposed to promote happiness and good luck.
This aspect of feeling good is made possible also by donating OLD pieces of furniture from Norfolk, Virginia, USA.
We donated the following large household items:
- two sets of wooden bedroom furnitures: 1. headboards, 2. bed frames, 3. nightstands, 4. vertical mirrors mounted atop 5. dressers and 6. armoires;
- three 25-year old, soft, sagging TempurPedic XL twin mattresses of which two were adjustable foundations;
- one wooden executive desk, which Mom bought at JCPennys for Dad;
- one Bush Furniture Key West 2 Drawer Lateral File Cabinet in Bing Cherry, which I bought from Amazon; and
- one wooden front-glass China cabinet, which was recycled instead of resold due to being unwanted basically and heavy, too.
After viewing more YouTube videos on interior designing and on real estate agents walking through beautiful houses listed in Oakland and Berkley, California, I’ve learned the satisfaction of ideal placements of my brother’s small gift items and other smaller decorative pieces inside MY house.
Without my personal online assistant, which I paid annually, I had NO idea whatsoever on how to proceed with many pending desires and wishes.
These helpful guides online enabled me to accomplish in one year what took me all my life to learn to figure out on my.
I was drifting mostly unaware of my surroundings while relying on one blogger’s stories of our spiritual world.
Now, I’m able to relax and heal while maintaining MY house.
For the garden, we had to hire a gardener since first contact with him last year August 20, 2025. He shows up twice a month for “Maintenance front, back, adjacent property: sidewalks, parking strips, curb, gutter San José Municipal Code Sections 14.16.2200-14.16.2270.”
I told my dad I couldn’t handle our HUGE corner lot with all the dried leaves from the tall Sycamore trees hitting our adjacent property and two lawns (front yard 745 sq ft and back yard 320 sq ft and MORE room to spare for both locations!)
He agreed to hire our new gardener and spared us the trouble of taking TWO hours of what takes only 30 minutes for the gardener and sometimes another helper to complete!
So we are stuck with one unused red-colored Craftsman cordless lawn mower; four lithium-ion battery packs; and one Scotts seeder, which I haven’t been using and instead opted for the liquid lawn food, which I’ve ordered for today’s annual schedule per my Reminder app for iPhone.
That’s all for now. I’ve been listening to YouTube music mostly orchestral and violins and with some techno beats while performing “nerve flossing”, which is new to me this month. Sigh.
