Crossing things off…

Having found myself with some excess time in my life, I have been crossing things of a mental list that has been composed over the last few…ahem…years. My mind is always in motion, coming up with ideas big and small for how to solve storage issues, ways to organize, to spruce things up…it goes on and on, truly without end. Over the last week I’ve completed little projects that I’ve wanted to do for some time. None of them have been particularly large tasks, but the amount of relief I’ve felt by just hanging a shelf, or shifting a few things in a corner, has been signifiant. These small steps have resulted in my breaths being a little bit deeper, and my smile being just a little bit bigger. Tomorrow I’m starting a project that I’ve had an idea for, for a long time. I’ll be documenting the process so you can follow along. I’m excited to start, I get to learn how to do a few things I’ve never done before (and i’m really crossing my fingers that the motivation remains). YAY!

The part of being off work that I’m struggling with is giving myself a break on what is filling my time the rest of the day, which so far has included a lot of television, and countless hours doom scrolling on that pesky clock app (aka TikTok)…But hey, its only been 8 days…8 short-long days.
