This is a bit of a messy blog. I've not blogged for a while which is why. Loads of different things I want to diarise.
I think I must have S.A.D. Well not *really*, but I do feel I am being affected by this grey,gloomy weather. It's more the lack of colour and light -than the cold even though I hate being cold. It feels as if this is the longest period of it I've ever experienced! Wonder if anybody else feels like this. It feels as if 'winter' has lasted forever.
I decided my mood was probably affected marginally more than most, because I spend about a third of the week nocturnal. So for this reason among others I've decided to not work for a bit, until I'm back to my usual self. I'm not a fan of the dark. This in itself it was something I was apprehensive about as work tends to regulate my mind-I like routine... Also I'm scared the lack of exercise will affect me!But a few weeks isn't enough to make so much a difference if I'm careful, is it.
One of the 'others' it's among is the fact that the other half has bought a house to do up and I think we're going to buy another one. After my old one sold given all the trivial things that went wrong with that, I was ready to be a free spirit forever but I've 'recovered' from that experience now. A lot of it was due to the fact I was never happy at that house, in the first place. Some places I have good feelings about and some I don't-not really much to do with what they look like, I find.
I always hated my parents' house and am very glad they've now moved. I looked after the place for them a while ago and couldn't sleep well and never settled there, I can't put my finger on why as it was a nice house on the surface. Something to do with the way I felt about it I suppose.
This one is potentially going to be great for us, but I'm not keen on actually living in it yet. A couple of months ago I decided to rent a small place near my family anyway, so I'm still doing that for now and spend half the week over here helping him with this one.
There's a lot to do, at the moment I'm just focusing on making sure nothing's dangerous. It was a repossession and hasn't been a 'home' for a while it seems. He is working on the fabrics of it and I'm doing the cleaning up and arranging of somebody to come and do the work we either can't do, or are not able to do for whatever reason.
The dog's happy. She seems to like all the nooks and crannies in it and is less concerned by the appearance than I am! It's right next to a large park as well. Good thing really as my place is too small to have her in.
I put a thread up about this a long time ago I think-about belongings and getting rid of things one doesn't need-and this (among other things) really helped me-as I've always been one of those folk who doesn't like parting with 'stuff'.
Now, I am proud to announce that everything I own (with the exception of Kya, and the cage my three fancy rats are in!) can fit into the boot of my car.
I think belongings can end up 'owning you' if you're not careful. I feel much more free without loads of 'stuff'. He is as bad as me (or me as I was!) for this and I think I am going to have to nudge him in the right direction and get rid of some things, especially as this house is smaller than the old one-some things he has are enviable to me, some are really beautiful-and a lot of these worthy things get buried and forgotten about when you have a lot of pointless clobber 'covering' them , metaphorically if not literally.
It's a civil servant 'strike' today so we have the day together. I'd much rather go for a long walk/drive and find a nice pub to sit in, than to spend the day within these walls but it'll be worth it in the end won't it
I no longer have the van-another 'thing' I wanted rid of as I was no longer using it. A friend of mine was trying to get hold of a camper van as part of a project he's doing for charity. I'm actually feeling very lucky about that-I was a bit nervous about selling it to somebody I didn't know. It's been way to cold to use it this year anyway!I might get hold of another one for festival season, or I might just want to camp-it's less hassle sometimes I think.
There's more I want to write about but I can't, because if I do my hair might fall out (hairdye needs rinsing off!) so I had better leave it for now.
I do have another blog, which is one reason I don't write so much in this one, but as it's 'NSFW' if anybody does want that they can pm me. Nothing risqué as such on it but some content not favoured for some people.
Hope everyone is doing good and not being as affected as I am by the gloomy weather
