Well, we made it. The whole group got to Augusta and back safely and basically on time. The homes worked out great, cars were rented, and I hope that a good time was had by all. Now it is back to getting things done.
I wish that I was a better multi-tasker. I think that instead I am more of a singular focused girl. There are projects that I would love to complete and work on all at the same time. Instead I manage to become singularly focused and can't manage to complete anything but that one, overwhelming project I manage to put in front of anything else. This leads me to this week...
I have put off a multitude of home projects. So far my list includes a plumber, electrician, the gardener, the outside lighting service, dry cleaners, vacuum cleaner repair, donation drop off, and of course the never ending closet clean out that looms over my head. Am I the only person that has this issue? I thought that we as strong and modern women were supposed to be these great multi-taskers. Instead I get over-whelmed, shut down, and sometimes can't complete anything. I rush around the house doing the same small tasks day after day. . . cleaning the sinks, potties, counter tops in the kitchen. Just the surface. Never dealing with what is really inside. Not opening the door to that closet, cabinet, or box to purge what is inside. This means something. . . I just know that it does.
Self-image. . . too much "stuff" to make up for other losses. . . you can give it any title . A therapists easy diagnosis. A de-clutterers dream. In the end, just me.
Trying to make my home a little more live-able. A little more comfortable. A little more who I want to be.
I think that will be my new journey. . . work with my home and start, together, to become the person and living space that I want to be and be in. I will take it one door at a time.
