Getting back into the groove

[miladycarol]

I've spent another morning cleaning, laundering, organizing and settling back into hearth and home. When I left, I was in all out nesting mode and, upon walking back into the door, I've not lost a beat. It's interesting that when there is a shift in the occupancy of a house, I have an atavistic urge to re-organize, reclaim and the like. And it's not just the parts that have opened, it's the whole house. If I didn't have a month of work ahead, I believe I'd empty the house room by room and repaint. It has gone beyond urge, actually. I feel driven. I'm actually staunching much of it in favour of reason. I was watering the beds this morning and I had to physically restrain myself from digging up the restraining walls I currently have and making way for stone pavers and new beds... especially since I hadn't even eaten breakfast yet. I am completely taken by a renovational seizure! I'm going to have to do my best to stay out of Jerry's and Home Depot for the next week. I really do need to get a bunch of work done on the businesses and I'm finding it hard to concentrate on that when I could be replacing the toilet in the main bathroom and retouching the paint in the mural room. *rolls eyes*
