My Motivation Sucks?
The move in is going very slowly here, mostly because of my back. And well, I guess my motivation lately hasn’t been great either. Angus has been pretty good about it. He isn’t complaining about all the boxes still to be weeded through and unpacked. He even moved them all into the garage for me on his day off. We want/need new stuff. And I think that is part of my motivation problem. We really NEED a new sofa. There is really only a couple of decoration type things that I want to keep and work around. The rest can go!
The kitchen is about 3/4 way there. I started slowly in the last house replacing the his/hers things and replacing them with new “Our” things. The only thing left to buy appliance wise is a new coffee pot to match the rest of the new things. We have gone with the brushed chrome and black look. The fridge, stove and dishwasher are white though, can’t do anything about those seeing how we rent. But actually it looks nice. Keeps it from looking to industrial and cold.The cabinets are a medium cherry finish, which I think complements the chrome/black look and gives it warmth.
I am really hoping to be able to get the new sofa before Christmas. Angus hasn’t really given me any kind of a clue as to when we will be able to though. He just agrees that we need to. And I did tell him that that’s part of the reason I have no motivation to decorate. Does that make sense? I don’t even want to put my curtains up, which I absolutely love, because I don’t want it to influence what I pick out for a sofa. But I have this $500 dollar picture he worked his butt off in trade to have put together for me, that matches my color theme in those curtains.
Oh, listen to me babble about color schemes and curtains when there are starving children, and men and women over seas fighting a war! Yeesh, I need to get a job and get a life.
