It was actually easier to write a post every day when I didn't have internet. Now that I have other distractions, it is harder to make the time to write.
The unpacking is going well the last two days, as some of my energy is returning. I'm glad I took as much down time as I did, and even though I pushed a little bit, I did great yesterday and put in a good four hours today.
Yesterday was sorting the sewing room and moving the bins from here to there, and back in several cases. There just isn't enough room and I'm going to have to figure out how to create space where there is none. I did find most of the current projects and today I found my cutting rulers, so it won't be too many more days before I get back to work.
But I have a pile of boxes that need to go to the basement and I don't want to take anything else down until I get the basement under control. I put together three sets of shelves, which would have been funny to watch. The last set was designed by someone with a wicked sense of humor. Only one injury, so I am counting myself lucky.
I got my winter clothes put away... well at least most of them, and created a little storage area right next to the laundry room. My commitment to go through every box is holding just fine, although some of the things I still don't know what to do with.
I found a space for my art supplies storage, and that is going to be fun to fill up and organize again. I didn't do as much in that area as I had intended, but I wanted to spend some time in the downstairs office as well. With orders coming in, I can't afford to be disorganized for very long. I need to move the desk from the garage to the basement and get the table put together, and I'll be in business. I'm ready to list more things as soon as I have checked my current inventory for errors.
I already have some things for an upcoming garage sale, if the weather ever warms up. I'm sure by the end of the month we'll be wanting to get outside and enjoy the sun while we have it.
The house feels good, although it doesn't feel like mine. I guess it takes a while to recover from losing your home. I'm lucky to have this opportunity and I am thankful for a roof and space for my things. I need to get the rest of my stuff out of storage as soon as I can. I'll feel better when everything is accounted for.
Off to fix dinner and put on a movie. I'm thinking a nice hot bubble bath will become my Saturday night ritual. I love having a house to myself and no one to interrupt my thoughts. It feel so good right now. My cats and I will do just fine, and at the same time I am anxious for company. Of course then I'd have to figure out some kind of sleeping arrangement!
One week ago I was so totally surrounded by boxes that I couldn't sit in the living room. Two weeks ago I was holed up tight in one bedroom of a friend's house. Time to look forward and not back
