I'm not the kind of person who brags about purchases but...I have to say, I am so happy that we found a new (used) car for MrWestBerryDad. It's a sensible, comfortable vehicle with WORKING doors, windows, and air conditioning. It passes inspection.
Yesterday (here I go again, bragging about a "haul") I found two beautiful botanical prints at the second hand store. They had been custom framed and they will be perfect in the dining room, once I'm done painting that same dining room. It is fairly rare that I make it into the second hand store. Rarer still that I find something that I'd want to live with. I try not to bring "things" home.
Part of the delay in painting the dining room and other projects is getting to the store to buy the supplies. I don't mind the work, it's the shopping I loath.
I just don't have a mind for "stuff." It's exhausting to survey it, touch it, move it, and display it.
There are three rooms upstairs that are currently full of boxes of stuff. We decided to rearrange my art studio and two back rooms. One room needs to look like a boys' bedroom before their principal comes for a home visit this Sunday.
Wishing there was a "fairy godmother" to help me clean and organize. Wishing I could take some time off in order to gather up the time and energy to label, box, stack and ship (and burn!) some clutter.
Wishing I could ignore stuff and sit down for the length of a movie or go visit a friend.
Too much to do.
