Baroo?
This weekend I'm going to try and take care of little things that have been percolating around without getting done.
Last night I had a dream where everything I owned was tossed out of the house (willingly), and whatever didn't make it back inside would be gone. It was a liberating feeling. I feel as though house purge is coming. I can't start it too soon, or else I will lack motivation halfway through. I need the full strength of I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE to get me through it.
In any case, my room is going to be #1 priority for a while. I've made the rest of the house the priority and my room has gone to crap. This is probably a reflection of most of my life, right now. I haven't been concentrating on me enough (this sounds strange, coming from someone who is admittedly self-centered). I've been concentrating a lot on things exterior to myself, and, as a result, I have let the me-things slide.
Plus, I need to start somewhere, and I need to start relatively small. I need to remind myself: It can't be perfect on day one. It doesn't have to be perfect on day one. Baby steps are necessary to get things done. (I didn't mean to rhyme that.) Also, I've decided, although I want to be environmentally-minded, I'm just going to have to make things easy on myself for now, and alas that generally means solutions that are not-so-much environment friendly. Once I have myself together, THEN I can concentrate on dear Mother Earth. I do care, I just need to develop my habits first, and that requires setting the bar lower, for me.
In other news, I think I, at the very least, have my living room scheme down. I'm very pleased with it, and it incorporates things I have. I just need a new loveseat to complete the picture (for now), but I will, alas, not have much extra funds over the next few months, so things will have to wait.
I'm really excited: in addition to cleaning and such, I plan on being Miss Susie Homemaker this weekend and cook some tasty meals, give some food to our neighbors who are about to have a kid, and hopefully finish the crafty baby gift I'm making for them.
