As a rule, I have an amazing life. Currently, though, I'm in the middle of a true rough patch. There is a lot going on, and I am not the picture of a happy person.
It's rare that I am unhappy. I truly dislike being in this state of being. Missing my normal happy self is an understatement, I miss Me.
Printed several large copies of the floor plan and will use them over the next few days to set up housekeeping. As much as I enjoy decorating a home, I thought that I was done. This home is complete, not including the guest apartment. It's doubtful that I will ever set foot inside there again.
The Christmas tree arrived this morning. The box is over six feet long and about two feet on the sides. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like. Hopefully, it will be easy to set up.
Today I cleaned and spent a lot of time in thought, and then worked on several small touch ups which needed to be done. This house has been completely remodeled during the past three years. It's beautiful, a joy to do, but a relief to finish.
There is so much I'm working on right now. Braille lessons, home-keeping, crafting items for Christmas, online courses, daily exercise, pet and plant care, staying in touch with family and friends. I keep busy, and I like things that way. The thing is, that I want the busy things to be of my choosing.
The list of things I need to accomplish while there is still a little sight left is long. Getting ready to move and start a new life is disturbing my plans. Moving is one of my very least favorite things.
It will eat into the majority of my time for the next several weeks. Just finding things here in the house is difficult. Now, I have to hunt through everything to locate what I want to take with me to the new apartment. Then, it all has to be sorted, packed, moved, unpacked, put away with every location marked. That, in my mind, is a nightmare. It will be a huge adjustment trying to find my way around in a strange place, indoors as well as in a new neighborhood.
There is no place for Demeter to go outside and play. She will have to be on a leash every time she goes outside. Instead of a pet door that she has free access to, I have to take her out. Be fully dressed and out multiple times during the day and night. What a nightmare for her. She is rarely leashed, and will have to get used to it.
I'm trying to figure a way to keep her from barking every time she hears noises outside. There are a couple of white noise machines here. Crossing my fingers that they will work. Problem is that one of her duties is to let me know when someone is nearby. Now, I have to train her not to.
I'm tired. Enough for now....
