Not quite myself today... Headache... Upset stomach... It most probably has to do with the weather... It has been impossibly hot for weeks now... No real sign of rainy season getting here...
So I decided to come home early...
I haven't finished working on my flat... I just managed to make my walk-in look decent and I started taking books out of boxes... I'm still lacking tons of things... Bookcases... A bar... Most my paintings are still stored... I haven't managed to sit and sew pillows for the couch... I'm still lacking shelves in the kitchen...
I know I don't have to rush... There's no need... But some days, I just wish a genie came over and did it all for me... I'm usually so tired when I get home... And I only have Sundays to take care of the place... Most my day flies by while shopping for groceries, cleaning and doing laundry and by the time I decide to start organising my things I'm spent...
I haven't even bought paint for my bedroom, can you believe it? I mean... I can live with the walls as they are but I would really love to come home one night and finally see the light the way I want it to be...
I do miss having all my stuff at hand... I truly do... I think I may need to call in sick more often, huh? Seems like it's the only way I will ever be able to make this place feel my own!!!
You certainly sound stressed, but i also sounds as though you're on the way to improving your life so I'm sure you'll get there in the end.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you aren't feeling well Lena. The heat makes me feel sick as well. I wish that I could help you with your flat, I think it would be fun! Enjoy the time even if it's only here and there, fixing it up. You'll feel so good when it's done! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to improve it, yes... One of the things I should do to improve my life is work a bit less, though... Or so it seems... ;)

Hi Di!!
ReplyDeleteI know... How's the weather been treating you??
I'd love to have you over and help... We would have tons of laughs!!
Tons of love!! XXX
I can't do anything strenuous in the heat either. and I find it hard enough to do household chores in any kind of weather.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can have a pot luck or dinner party where in exchange for food everyone has to pitch in making your place more homey?

Hey Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteI think I may do something just like that... Do you think they would go for me buying snacks instead of cooking for them??? LOL!!! XXX
I hope that your house is feeling more like your home and that you are feeling a little less stressed. Hope the Genie comes and unpacks for you and paints your walls. When the Genie is done at your house will you send him over to me.;-)
ReplyDeleteTake good care!!
xxoo
I have unpacked a few more things... I even have a bar now, and a few more plants... I have been leaving the café earlier so that I can work at home a bit...
ReplyDeleteStill looking for the Genie... will send him to you as soon as we're done decorating here!!! ;) *hugs*
