gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Our warm home. The temperature is down to about -30 C tonight.
I know how to/have the means to dress warmly in many layers, so that doing chores didn't feel too bad this afternoon.
We spent most of the afternoon/evening working on the house.
My Sweetie worked on installing outlets in the basement, since those must be done before the drywall goes up. I worked on painting the future bedroom, since it should probably be painted before we sand the floor.
I also did some laundry.
That was more or less our day, but I am very glad that my Sweetie is feeling unstuck for the time being with regards to working on the house again. It's often that he goes and goes and goes, then just STOPS, and when that happens it it very difficult to get him going again. He doesn't seem to be moderate about progress, just GO HARD, then STOP for months. It would be less dramatic if the STOP was for maybe a week or something, instead of three or four months until I get angry at him. He also sometimes just pushes so hard when he is in "go" mode that it's obviously unsustainable.
Then we ate and watched "Ten Things I Hate About You", which, for all it's flaws is still a sweet movie, and makes me very sad about Heath Ledger's death. I often think, what wonderful characters he would have brought to life if he were still around.
