Clean House, Clear Brain

We’ve had a string of gray days, and along with interrupted sleep at night, it’s really starting to get to me. I’m having a harder time focusing than usual. I’ve been, shall we say, more prickly than normal. I guess we all go through these types of days, and I just need some sunshine to get myself out of it.

(I’m also going to say this quick-like, so as not to make a big deal out of it: Mr. M’s new job didn’t exactly work out. Bah. It’s fine, we’ll be OK, but it’s frustrating. Moving on.)

To help get myself out of my funk, I’m thinking of ways to reorganize the house. Our current place is bigger than our last one, but we’re seeing that when we moved in, we could have arranged things better – a bookcase here, a desk there, just some minor moving things around to improve the flow.

Ha! Flow. I sound so designery, don’t I?

I just killed it with “designery,” didn’t I. Oh well.

I want to do this now because I have a vacation of sorts coming up in a couple of weeks that I’ll be spending at home, so I’m trying to get the reorganization done BEFORE the vacation. I refuse to spend the entirety of my days off cleaning and reorganizing. What’s the sense of taking time off work to work?

That being said, I will be taking that week to do the final “push” to get the Etsy shop ready. I’m also thinking of fun things to do besides the shop work – maybe a day trip. Cincinnati is close (Trader Joes! Ikea!). And there’s plenty to do in town – I’d like to go back to Churchill Downs, maybe. Neither of these would require tons of cash or time, which is vital.

Just thinking about reorganizing and cleaning to make time for some fun is already lifting my spirits a bit. It’ll be even better when I actually do it. Now I have something to look forward to this weekend!

And I hear it’s going to be sunny this weekend, too. Nice.
