To all of you reading this – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope your holiday season was joyous and bright and wonderful.
I think I’m suffering holiday let down. Don’t get me wrong, I had a great Christmas and and lovely New Year’s. It’s just that right now, I’m feeling a bit down. Especially tonight. I’m so restless that I’ve walked through my house twice, even though it hurts to go into the back bedroom and utility room (big step down.) My legs are just driving me crazy, they will not stop twitching. I’ve eaten my last banana and take a potassium supplement and an aspirin. And still they twitch. Of course, the barometer is falling, which just adds to the pile. Awwww! There are a lot of things I could whine about right now, but it won’t change anything.
I have been doing a lot of “deep thinking”. I don’t make resolutions, but I do make changes. And I’ve got to make some changes. I have to stay focused on whatever I need to be doing. I get distracted so easily lately. My sister calls it the shiny toy syndrome. I call it the squirrel reaction. Either way, I will be working away on something and then, like the dog that sees a squirrel, I’m off on a tangent, wasting time and energy on something useless or silly. Like getting ready for work and finding myself sucked into something on TV. That’s why I try to watch “fluff” in the morning. But that doesn’t always work either. Seems I can get sucked into to fluff just as easily as the regular stuff. Sometimes easier.
See, I’ve gone off on a tangent. Anyway, I’ve decided I want to re-do the house. You know, change things around, get rid of things, get new things, paint things, etc. I just have to figure out where to start. That’s another issue. I am so overwhelmed by everything that needs to be worked on, that I can’t figure out where to start. So, I don’t do anything. So here’s the situation: I need to go through the boxes in the living room and put them somewhere other than the living room. Then I need to move the furniture around a bit so I can get the couch that’s still in the utility room, into the living room and placed so I can see the TV from it. The bathroom needs to be cleaned as does the kitchen and my bedroom. *Sigh* See what I mean? My sister and my Mom would just pick a room and go. One day it’s the kitchen, one day it’s the bathroom, then it’s the living room or the bathroom. Wish I had a super power, maybe super strength or speed. Or maybe not…
Uf da!
