So last night I didn't sleep so well. Could be the fact that almost any time Sunday night rolls around and I know I have to get up for work in the morning, my body sort of freaks out. Could be little miss Julia next door crying intermittently throughout the night. I love the kid but sleep! And oh how I love my rest. Maybe it was a combo of both of those things.
But then I got home. And I looked at the bed I'm sleeping in. Don't get me wrong because I'm super grateful to have a bed to crash in at night and my brother and his wife and his adorable children are pretty sweet for letting me live in their house while I try to figure my life out.
But that bed sitch. Hmmm. I gots to do something about it. See, I don't have a lot of furniture and no desk or shelf to put odds and ends upon when they arrive. So I sort of let it pile up on the bed...just a little. Lest you get ideas in your head that a call to Hoarders is needed because let me assure you, it is not. I know denial is the first stage but I'm a born chucker. I chuck stuff out that I do not have any need for. And I like it. I love the feeling of a good cleanse of crap-o-la. So really, it's more a space/furniture issue.
Amongst the papers sitting atop the bed are mah bills. Ugh...we do not need to get started on that nonsuch. But anyway, there they sit, taunting me, reminding me. Along with some books and a few journals (what can I say, I have a thing for journals and books). And perhaps that, my purse, some Mucinex and my ear buds, mean that maybe, just maybe, I'm not living in optimal feng shui.
Maybe my sleep is affected by all this stuff. Like the bills are calling out to me as they lay by my side. And I stress stress stress in my subconscious over it. Hmmm...so maybe there is a better way. There must be.
What it really has me thinking about is space of my own. Furniture. Bookshelves. Desks. Beds. Dressers. Couches. TVs. Apartments!!! Oh how I long to decorate a little place of my own. You know, I think that would help a great deal. So here is to finding a J.O.B.! I need me one of those!
