It’s been quiet around here, at least when it comes to writing, but I have posted a few essays on Facebook. Mostly, it feels like chaos all the time.
My new home is maybe 25% unpacked, with boxes stacked up in the garage. Next week the storage towers I found for the garage arrive and assembling and filling those will be top priority.
I’ve found that I’m missing a lot of storage so I bought the components to build my office bookshelf – but first I need to prime and paint the wall and remove the baseboards.
I have a TV bench for the television in a box, which is simply too heavy to navigate up the stairs on my own right now. So it sits in the garage.
I bought a metal shelf for the laundry room, it hasn’t been put up.
I bought some wood also for shelves in the laundry room. It hasn’t been cut to size.
My bedroom is 50% painted and I keep finding small areas that need touching up. All of the doors on the first floor are hideous and need to be primed and painted but I’ve done none of it.
Right now everything feels chaotic and stressful so I’m going back to the basic routines that keep me sane. Today that means washing all the dishes, taking out the trash and washing walls that need paint. Little by little it will get done.
