Decisions, Decisions

I really dislike deciding things.  What's for dinner?  I don't want to make that decision every single day.  My solution?  I cook a week's worth of meals on my day off, and that's what's for dinner.  If I cook chicken and rice, then it's chicken and rice for the next 4 days.  While that may sound a little boring, there's no stress about what to make, no time needed to make it, and it's one less thing to decide.

Most women wonder, "What to wear".  I don't do that much any more either.  After years of working for the same BigBoxStore, when they came up with specific pants and polo shirts to wear as the "uniform", then I bought a dozen polos in the correct color, and pants to go with it.  I wash one day a week and my closet, while looking very boring when it comes to work clothes, there is NO struggle with what to wear.  You just get up and put on the same thing every day.  Boring?  Absolutely.  But without the stress of that daily choice.

You'd think that doing both these things would make it much easier when the time comes to make other decisions.  But I don't like it.  Recently, I had to source and research companies who do asphalt shingles.  Sheesh.  Talk about being the world's worst thing to have to decide.  After a LOT of talking to men "in the business", I had it up to my eyeballs and just picked one.  The guy who came out was nice, he explained things, and gave me a written price.  And reduced the price by $200 if I made my choice right then and there.  No brainer.  I chose!  We had to haggle on the down payment a little bit -- it's not easy coming up with $3k on the spot.  But it's a done deal, supplies are ordered for the project and should be installed before the end of February.   And it will be a load off my mind because the monsoon season here will fast approach (starts June 15) and I shouldn't have any worries about a leaky roof. 

I'm so happy to be past the decision making process! 
Back to my normal life --- chicken and rice for dinner, pants and polos for work.
And hopefully no more stressful decisions!
