I got new, more sedate pain medications and I feel much better now. I've recovered sufficiently to be able to mostly keep up with kiddos this weekend, which is a good thing. Today I cleaned more stuff in my kitchen, including stove and countertops, and even managed to fix meals mostly. I also got my act together and rearranged the living room. See, when David was here he had all his stuff on one side, and I had my stuff on the other side of the living room, mostly, as "his stuff" was primarily a big desk thingy and computer and chair, and my living room is small enough both computers and their accoutrements wouldn't fit on the same side unless nothing else was there. After he moved, that effectively left one side of my living room empty. To be honest, I hadn't noticed it until my friend, while he was here, pointed out that my house was full of holes, meaning empty spaces where David had been. That described a lot of things about my life right then, to be honest, more than I was comfortable with. I mulled that over for a while, though, and I decided he was right. I can't afford to buy much to decorate with or other pieces of furniture for a while to come, but I can rearrange things, so there I went.
I vacuumed up the last of the cat hair in the living room -- mostly, still have a small section to go -- and cleaned up and moved things around. Amazingly enough, the place feels more mine now than it did. I wasn't expecting that, and yet it's true. The kids were big helpers, and they seem to like the new set up. Will especially likes it because he can get behind the couch and play now. It isn't the most space conscious setup, but it seems a lot more comfortable to me, so I'm happy with it. Now I just need some curtains to cover these blinds and some stuff to decorate with, and I'll be happy. My coffee table is still covered with stuff and out of place, but that's okay. A bit more work and I'll have it all in order, and I've got time to work on it. If this keeps up, I might just get organized. What a frightful thought. :)
