So far, 2020 has politically been a pile of absolute shit. That Orange Shitwaffle we have in the White House is destroying this country and all the spineless sycophants around him are feebly feigning helplessness when he gets up and gives his spittle-filled, ridiculous, childish “speeches”. I just…CAN’T.
So I won’t. I’ll move on to more delightful things:
- Still house hunting but things are definitely picking up. We are seeing more houses every day and I’ve been in a frenzy of packing and moving boxes to storage for several weeks now. We are dismantling the bathroom and there is currently a 3 x 5 hole in the sheetrock above the sink. We had a bunch of peeling wallpaper to contend with and ended up gouging it out rather than scraping it out. Once I float some drywall patch and sand it, we are going to put up some gorgeous subway tiles and paint everything else a cool gray. Lots of white towels and a new white shower curtain will complete it. I’m ready because this crap of having chaos all over the house is for the fucking BIRDS!
- We are planning a trip to Iceland for later this year. It is a magical land and the more I research it, the more excited I feel. JD has been before but we are going to explore the western coast which will be brand new territory for us both. I foresee lots of soaking in the volcanic lagoons, gazing at the Aurora Borealis, eating really bad food, and driving endlessly across the fertile loam of an island of fire and ice, popped up desperately from a raging sea.
- I’ve still got too much shit. That’s an ongoing theme in my life so I’m keeping an eye on all the things that will be going to consignment and Poshmark at some point. I can’t mentally deal with it now because work and packing the house is taking everything I’ve got but one day my house will be a lot more Scandinavian than “crazy old hoarder witch who lives in a hobbit house”. Fingers crossed anyway.
- I’m presenting a huge project at work on Monday. Something that is going to save a LOT of money and resources for the company and be a very shiny feather in my cap. THIS is the stuff I’m really good at but rarely have time to do – just finding the inefficiencies, the gaps in revenue, the ways things can be better. I’m a Virgo, after all, and this is in my marrow. It’s been an interesting experience navigating the workplace with a huge piece of coal that you are polishing into a diamond and seeing who tries to attach themselves to the project. People recognize good ideas and want to be part of it and it’s flattering when it’s my idea and people are so eager to be on board. Good stuff.
- Energetically, I’m not where I want to be because my body hurts a lot and I’m not sleeping enough but Spring always brings huge promise of ALL THE THINGS and I’m ready for it. <3
