Believe it or not, there are actually happy things happening in May. I say this not only because had you asked me months ago, I might have been worried about how everything would shake out, and also because depression still had a grip on me. But I refused to knuckle under.
I made it to summer!
1. As of this post, I may actually have a buyer for Darby (the Winnebago). FINGERS CROSSED. This is actually a happy and sad thing, I guess.
2. The alarm system is once again functioning and monitored! One more layer of home safety and it feels good to resolve these things. Next up is either having the house painted or replacing the carpet and bathroom floors.
3. Healthwise, I am feeling good. I may have gained a little weight back, but I am talking care to make sure I eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, take my vitamins, and move more during the day. I tried yoga, didn't love it, but I will continue with some stretching each morning. My hair is growing like crazy - this time last year I hated my short hair, now I need a trim!
4. My sewing and craft room is once again a sweet-smelling, well-lit, happy place to be. I recently re-covered the chair pad, added a lamp, and bought a pretty desk mat. I usually have soft jazz playing and that also adds to the calm, creative atmosphere.
5. The City of Austin's Big Trash Day is back! I am so happy to once and for all empty the attic and garage of all the crap that still needs to go. I want to know exactly what I own and where it is - complete control over all of the things with space to move and breathe. Life is complicated, but my "stuff" doesn't have to be!
Happy rest of May!
Good luck with the sale! Fingers crossed!
