I spend a lot of time being idealistic and thinking about what’s possible. The catch is that I think too much and act too little. Lately I’ve been realizing that part of my unhappiness is that I have no one to share my life with. (yep, that’s a preposition ending my sentence.) When I was growing up, I had my brother. In college, my roommates. But for the past 4 years, I’ve been living completely on my own. It definitely has its perks, but as time goes on, I miss having someone to come home to and chat with. Someone to wake up to and chat with. Someone to watch the same program on television and share commentary. Someone to cook with, eat with, and do dishes for. I love my alone time but it seems far less fulfilling.

There are pieces of bookcase sitting on my living room floor. They’ve been there since yesterday morning when I dragged the box from the kitchen, tore it open (slowly) and removed the contents. I was fully intending to construct the bookcase yesterday, but after surveying the components and realizing that I needed to grab my tools from the closet (as if) I quickly lost motivation. Back to the couch I went until it was time to meet Tammi for coffee at Starbucks. (yes, we still do that)
Still sitting in my kitchen (gallantly propped against the dishwasher) is the box containing the bedside table that I really need to put together. I’m currently using a Rubbermaid container as my nightstand. It was okay for the first couple weeks, but let’s be honest, shouldn’t I have actual furniture by now? The answer is yes.
I spent today lounging, napping, and reading. I feel only a sliver of guilt, but I do have to make sure I am mindful of getting proper rest. Oh, and I worked hard on Friday to clean and rearrange my house – to the determent of healing my broken toe. *note, if you break a toe, it’s probably not a good idea to shove it into shoes and move furniture within the first 2 weeks of healing. Unless you have one of these breaks where they tell you to shove it into shoes. (mine isn’t like that)
Back to the rearranging of my house! Furniture rearranging is on my list of things that make me happy. It clears my chi. It’s refreshing.
freshly vacuumed, dusted, and rearranged...ahh!
Oh, and I’m officially closer to my 30th birthday than my 29th. (yesterday was my half birthday)
