Painting's done in living room. So today I'll do the decorating part of the clean-up. Have hung up some things in different places, and with the cabinets moved around, the room looks fresh. And the change of having the walls greytones over beige ones is wonderful. When the afternoon sun comes in (and it hits that side of the house pretty harshly come 4-6pm) it's a bit softer now. Loving the way that looks.Also, I want to keep busy so I'll not worry over our oldest son who's heading up north on his road trip. He called me last night from Ohio, and while he sounded a bit tired, he was excited as well. I'll concentrate on tidying up and puttering. There's not anywhere I have to go, so will just stay here and help celebrate with our birthday boy (yeah, he's 21, but still qualifies as a boy to me!).
With my mood this morning, I'm needing quiet occupations. That happens from time to time. Just the need to ground myself again. Tearing up rooms to make them new is rattling, so today maybe I can return the dining room and living room to normal---or something better. :)
Time for tea and toast.
