Blue floors, white walls....and a lot of empty.
My world has sort of collapsed in on me. Now it's mostly just the blue floors and white walls of my 1 bedroom apartment...I rarely go anywhere. The last time I was out of the Boston metropolitan area was before I got the job I lost in January. I still haven't found a new job, by the way.
Oh and my roleplay group that would meet on Thursdays and Sundays has pretty much collapsed.
My home is now all nice and clean...there's space, sort of. It's an itsy place to begin with, so there's still not MUCH space, but there's uncluttered space now. 3 uncluttered rooms (plus the bathroom). I can cook if I want to in my kitchen, though I haven't been inclined to do much cooking in the current heat wave. I even have a table I can eat at like a normal grown-up, rather than eating at my computer like a college kid.
I got a sewing machine (it just arrived today!) so that I can make things for myself and my house. I am looking forward to using the machine, and to actually creating a lot of things. First on the agenda: a tablecloth (I have some blue gingham fabric to make it out of) and 6 napkins (out of a different blue fabric) for the table. There are still a number of things I haven't yet acquired but which I will need for sewing--like thread and a good pair of scissors for cutting the fabric. I want to be able to make clothing and costumes and whatnot as well, eventually. Well, one of the projects I am planning to work on soon is a circle skirt (shouldn't be too hard) to go with my Ren Faire attire.
I want to decorate my house...the floors are all blue, and the walls are all plain (textured) white. It looks very stark, utilitarian, and blank. Not very welcoming. Kind of off-putting, actually. I can't really hang up my posters, though, because of the texture the walls have. So I have to find something else to decorate with. I haven't gotten much of decorating stuff, though, mostly because my husband doesn't care for it. Knick-nacks like the ones that filled the extra spaces on my shelves growing up are dismissed as "dust collectors". I don't even know what happened to my little critters. Maybe they are somewhere at my mother's house still. Or maybe she gave them away or threw them out.
Wish I could kick this stupid insomnia....but I don't seem to be able to sleep at a normal time....
