Life

Life is slowly returning to normal here. As some of you know, my daughter and grandson have moved out. Most of their stuff is gone with the exception of a pile in the kitchen, a treadmill, dorm fridge, huge tv and stationary bike. I have distributed the larger items throughout the house so that I can finish work on my studio.
The house has been in a mess for almost 2 months now, first with them packing and then the move itself. They can only move a little at a time since they have no help (her and her guy) and work long hours and most weekends.
I must admit that I thought I was going to really miss them but since I watch Myles when she is working, until he starts school this fall, I see them often enough that it is almost like they are here (without the mess..lol) In fact, I am actually enjoying the fact that I have 3 more rooms of space now! We were 5 in a 3 bedroom apt. Her room was the front half of the double living room. so we basically had no living room. I shared with my oldest son, who is disabled.
NOW, we have a living room in the smaller part of the double living room (closer to the heat!), the front part, with all the windows and which is much bigger is my studio , the kitchen (once the pile is gone) will be even bigger than it looked before with all my sewing stuff in there and best of all, I have my very own bedroom!
It is so nice to have my own space now, I sleep so much better. It is wonderful to have only myself and my 2 sons here. When I clean something it stays clean! I only cook for us and less dishes afterwards. And when they are done I don't worry about waking up in the morning to a new pile of dirty ones.
I have read 7 books in a week!! I love to read and never could before so now I am really getting my fix.
Not to mention that my stress levels have dropped a LOT. It was always so tense here, mainly cause we were living like sardines I think.
Before weeks end my studio will be complete and I will return to work. I have many things that need finishing that have been put off for one reason or another which I am dying to work on now, plus new things waiting.
So that is what has been going on here. LOTS of changes and adjusting and hard physical labor..LOL
