It seems like I've been in that space for quite some time now. Especially since I disrupted my quilting room to move the quilting machine and frame upstairs and redo the family room. It has disrupted the whole house and I can't seem to get anywhere.
First the bedroom upstairs that was emptied...well the closet is still full and needs to be edited so it can hold quilting related items and batting. Of course, all the rest of the stuff from the bedroom that I kept has been squished into other spaces... along with the stuff I'm waiting to move into the new quilt room.
Unbeknownst to me, my dear kitty, Heidi, was trying to tell me she had cystitis and was peeing all over this bedroom. I just wasn't paying attention...
I got one of those black lights to see where the pee was, and it seemed to be everywhere! I've treated it several times now and the black light still says it isn't clean! So I ordered another product online...anti icky poo...going to use a garden sprayer and spray it on and cross my fingers, turn around three times with my eyes closed and whisper the magic word....what is the magic word???
In the meantime the clutter around my house is killing me! I haven't known where to start....so started trying to get the carpet cleaned....but it's just been stalled. I've changed my tactic and decided to get on with working on the sewing room downstairs. I'm working on moving everything out so I can take up the carpet, put down laminate floors and paint. I'm running into problems of where to put the stuff! It's overwhelming how much there is!
There is very little sewing going on here right now. I had big ideas of some things I wanted to make for Christmas gifts but reevaluated and decided that I wanted to spend all the energies I could muster on getting this house put back together. The pressure of trying to do both I know would just immobilize me.
Goal was to put down the laminate floor over Thanksgiving weekend. That means I have to have the room emptied and painted first. I'm getting there, but not close enough that I think that is going to happen.
Today I hired and electrician that will come on Thursday and add 2 new circuits downstairs and 1 upstairs and move a switch and a light fixture. Then I will be able to run a space heater while using the iron and not blow a circuit downstairs. That will be a good thing!
I feel like I'm not getting anything done tho...so much stuff to deal with and decisions to make that I just...well, just don't. Spend alot of time on line, watching TV, shopping, sleeping....all avoidance. So Stacey you really have called me out on this one. And I pledge to keep sludging thru it with my vision of an organized home that will make it easy for me to be creative again. I'm shooting for the first of the year for having these two rooms put back into functional spaces.
