Y’know during this vacation, just when I think I’ve done enough around the home to where I think I can take the next day to relax, I start thinking of other things to do! What is wrong with me? Am I physically and mentally unable to just calm down and relax? A good friend of mine once said that I was the type of person that just can’t stand still. I always have to be doing something. Well… sometimes I think that when I’m sitting at the computer reading online, I’m being lazy. I’ve cleaned, straightened, organized this whole apartment, more than what it’s ever been in the two years we’ve lived here. I’ve gotten rid of soooooo much clutter, filed away everything imaginable and even shredded stacks of old bill reciepts and documents. All this in the past four days…. and I’m still finding things to do, clean and organize!!
Some of the things I planned to do to relax included: Sitting on the patio for a couple of hours, watching the hummingbirds, maybe even take more snapshots of them; playing the demo of Civilization IV that’s been sitting on my computer desktop begging for attention; Work on our personal family website to finally have a dedicated page for each of our birds…. Ok maybe that last one may not be relaxing, but it’s fun to do anyways! All I’ve done this week to have fun is going out for short walks and enjoying the sunshine. Oh, and listen to some great music, too.
I do have a healthy sense of accomplishment in what I’ve done this week, though! The home is one of those places that is a huge part of your life and helps to keep you balanced and grounded. When it’s a mess, your life is a mess. It’s a cathartic thing to do a “spring cleaning” of your life. I can’t complain too much about doing this on vacation because, as the saying goes, if not now… when?
Now I’m off to organize the music clutter in the living room. Hopefully, that will be the last thing! Cheers!
