This week, I'm thinking...
Doofus with a little spring fever
- how absolutely, fantastically, great it feels to be home for a prolonged period of time and in a routine again.
- (The doggies agree.)
- how, on the other hand, being hither and yon for so long means a backlog of appointments that all landed on this week so I'm not entirely feeling in routine yet.
- that, however, all that means is I'm finally getting some stuff taken care of that should've been dealt with weeks ago.
- so it's all good.
- how new furniture is both fun and stressful at the same time.
- that the words "oh, we'll just use this for now" should never be spoken.
- Is 10 years later still "for now?"
- that, in the time it's taken us to choose a new coffee table for our family room, other people would have redecorated that same family room twice over.
- how that should make me remember that every decorating choice doesn't have to be a forever-choice.
- less stress?
- faster decisions?
- no more naked windows or cheap, folding, very unsteady TV-trays as end tables?
- that our highest priority in choosing new end tables was, "Which one will the Doofus not be able to knock over as he runs by?"
- how the store clerk was looking a bit askance at us as we leaned on the top of every table and wiggled it to check for sturdiness.
- but it's a thing.
- and I'd rather not have it be a thing anymore.
- Dang Doofus.
- how nice it is to see green grass.
- and growing things.
- and hear birds.
- and sneeze.
- because sneezing means spring.
- Hurray.
