Work in progress

Not just the office...

First, a disclaimer. I’m talking about the kids’ old rooms in their new roles - I can’t take photos because we’re still cleaning out and reorganising and all that *fun stuff*. It’s not that we’re planning that the rooms will never belong to anyone else, and if needed, of course they’ll be cleared so they can move back in, but, the fact of the matter is that Tempus has a hybrid home/work career, and my ‘office’ is only usable when there’s not stuff in front of the door, the floor, the chairs etc. (mostly my fault, gotta be honest).

I feel like though, with the changes in the house, and to our routines, and everything else we do, that quite honestly, I’m changing again. I spent a week in bed feeling like hell and quite frankly, wishing I was elsewhere for a bit.

Honestly, today’s been a bit rough anyway. I’ve got a huge list of things I want to/need to get done and it’s just sitting there taunting me.

I feel that about a lot of things actually. So, I’m trying to find a way to go back to basics, while reorganising the house, and cleaning and getting ready to paint and *all the things* that need done.

Ideally, when the room is sorted, I’ll have a space to sit and edit, and write, while the walk-in wardrobe will not only be sorted out because it’s cleared, and easier to access, but it’ll be my journaling and handwriting space, which means, with luck, I’ll start getting to wind down at night.
And that’s why it’s a work in progress. I know where I need to be. I’ve got some help to get there, but the gap feels so big right now. I’ve literally got *every* room to sort out, bar the office, and if he helps me, then I’ll be helping him with the office, so that really is every room.

Once I’ve at least gotten the space cleared though I’ll start sharing photos. I’ve got a rich, light coppery colour for the walls to try, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll rethink, but we’ll see.

Paid members are still eligible to get the starter pack, and I’ll be sending the first batch of paid member goodies out soon :)

But, for now, I can’t really say I’m going to be posting regularly. I’m trying, but I suspect the last year has just been too much for me in general. I hate using the B word (as in Burnout) but I’m really worried that’s where I might be right now. And finding my way back from it isn’t a straight line.

But I wanted to at least wave and let people know that I’m still here, mostly.
