aubreymI'm in a much better mood today, even though I didn't go out and do anything exciting. It was raining all day and chilly. Not exactly the 'get out and party' sort of weather. More the stay inside and work on the house sort of weather. So that's what I did.
I've always thought that the 'nesting' thing was a myth. For the past 7.5 months the *last* think I've wanted to do is clean the house. (If you ask Tom, he'd probably say for the past 7.5 years. Yeah, I'm not exactly the neat-freak type). But in the past week or two I've been digging in everywhere. I've filed papers, gone through my books to get rid of some old ones, done special 'hand-washing' laundry that's been sitting around for probably a year or so. I put up the tree, and now I'm working on the basement/garage.
There are boxes and boxes of crap down there. I'm pretty sure they've been multiplying while I wasn't looking. I threw away a bunch of stuff that we haven't used or looked at in years. And stuff that was here when we moved in. Why did we keep it in the first place? No idea. I still need to put in a few hours down there, but when I'm done we'll actually be able to find the stuff we need without tripping over all the stuff we haven't needed in years.
So while I seem to have leaped into 'nesting' with both feet, I also seem to be rather plan-less about the whole thing. I tend to move from one thing to another. Fortunately I figured that out, and now I've made myself a list. I'm putting things on it as I think of them, and trying to keep them prioritized. It's going to feel so good to have the house in order. Ready for the baby. And perhaps we'll look like adults, rather than college students.
In other news - my friend Anat had her baby (just a week early)! She sent me a picture from her cell, and I couldn't wait to call and congratulate her. She's still in the hospital, but should be going home tomorrow. She had an adorable little girl, and both Mama and baby are healthy and happy. I'm so happy for her.
