gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Good sleep.
My Sweetie being home.
I do feel like I'm sensing my husband's "decreased ambition" stage of the year. We pushed hard to work on the sheds outside this summer/fall, and it's been a couple of weeks since the pottery shed was "finished enough", though it isn't functioning.
The kiln needs to be assembled and wired in. The shelves need to be assembled. Things need to be organized.
I'm feeling anxious that now that we're at that certain point where nothing feels critical, that it will get much harder to motivate him.
Sigh.
We did go to the dump today. My husband's favorite "low energy, still busy" kind of task.
It's still good that we went, to keep up on the recycling mostly. We're rural, so we have to hoard it all up until we feel like taking it somewhere ourselves. Our transfer station has bins.
After the dump we went to the park down the road to walk/snowshoe. We brought Roxy with us.
We haven't been doing much walking or snowshoeing this winter, so it was nice to get out. It was SO COLD over most of the holidays that we didn't do much of anything outdoors. Today was very mild and it was so nice not to be freezing.
We came home and made supper, and watched "The House with A Clock in it's walls". It went a little off the rails for a stretch right at the end with being a bit weird, but I enjoyed....90% of it.
It was great to see Jack Black in a role where he was playing it fairly straight, and he's a good actor.
Now I'm rattling around trying to find something to do that will make me feel like I'm doing something meaningful towards house/life improvements. I did take the covers off of some floor pillows, and I'm washing those.
Good sleep.
