This Sums Up My Day…

I feel like I’ve been going all day, and yet I feel like I’ve gotten nothing done. Coming off of being sick with first a sinus infection and then pneumonia for the better part of 3 weeks now, I’m not surprised. The wheeze seems to finally be gone, so it was the first day I felt up to getting work done around the house. Laundry, cleaning, just getting things put away. It felt good! However, every time I turned around, there was something else I wanted to be doing. I would get distracted, start reading vacuum & cleaning product reviews, online shopping for products to help me out with this or that task, it was endless.

I walked in to our bedroom and I hit that breaking point. Our bed is pretty high up, our dressers are tall and somewhat bulky, and everything is at almost the same height. One plane across the room. And the yellow? UGH. The room was painted yellow by the previous owner; they did a better job in the bedroom of painting over the sage green then in the bathroom, but there are still some spots. I’m just so tired of the yellow! I tried rearranging furniture to see if that would help, but it didn’t.

Fortunately, Mike & I rather quickly agreed on a color that we both like. It is a blue-gray color, and it is already on the wall of my studio so I have spent a lot of time with it and I love the color. So I see paint in our future. Plus getting some art up on the walls, maybe some shelves? Something to break up the feeling that everything is all on one level in there. It needs some variety!
