I don’t know why, however I really feel like this yr has actually taken it out of me greater than any yr prior. Yearly round this time, I really feel myself eager for that end-of-year break, however this yr, I really feel like I’m crawling to the end line, fully parched and gasping for air. This yr simply feels totally different from others.
General, I do know that I’m very near having our bed room suite completed. Being so near the end line, I ought to really feel extremely motivated to get that mission completed. And whereas I’ve been working day-after-day and making progress, I really feel like I’m doing so begrudgingly. By no means in my life have I felt extra like I want a protracted trip away from our home, however as , due to our state of affairs (or extra particularly, Matt’s state of affairs) that’s not even a risk.
So I’ve determined to take an extended end-of-year break this yr. I do know that’s type of a bummer because it leaves us all on a little bit of a cliffhanger. That’s not my intention. I’m not attempting to be just like the writers of a TV present who deliberately depart the viewers on a cliffhanger on the finish of a season and make them wait till the following season to see if their favourite character has died or managed to make it out alive. 😀
However clearly, there’s no manner for me to complete our bed room earlier than the top of the yr. So I’ve determined to complete out this week, after which take a two-week break (as an alternative of my common one-week break) earlier than resuming within the New Yr.
I’ve made numerous progress this yr that I’m actually pleased with. I’ll do a last recap of this yr in a uncommon Saturday submit in two days. I regarded by way of my record of objectives for this yr to see how a lot I had completed, and I used to be truly more than happy with my progress this yr. So I feel after a two-week break, I’ll be able to hit the bottom operating once more.
I received’t be taking an entire break on mission throughout my break. I don’t assume I may go two weeks with out a artistic outlet, and dealing on initiatives is my artistic outlet. However I’d additionally like some further time to concentrate on issues that I haven’t had a lot time for this yr, like making jewellery or possibly discovering a enjoyable artwork mission to work on. I want some small, enjoyable, simple initiatives that don’t essentially have something to do with our bed room suite.
So I’m going to complete out this week and attempt to get as a lot carried out as potential on the bed room. At the moment, I plan to get as a lot carried out on the draperies as potential. After which that might be it for me till Monday, January fifth. After which within the New Yr, I’ll choose up proper the place I left off, with the bed room, get that completed, after which transfer on to the following mission. For me, that might be tackling the toilet within the studio — a mission that was deserted some time again once I had deliberate to show it right into a walk-through pantry.
However now that our plans for this space have modified, I must get this lavatory completed. So this would be the first mission I concentrate on after the bed room suite is completed.
Within the meantime, my contractor might be engaged on turning the hallway lavatory right into a storage closet, and I’m positive that may require some work on my half as properly after they’ve the whole lot eliminated, new drywall put in, and get the new water heater put in in there.
So these are the primary initiatives I’ve deliberate for the start of subsequent yr after I take a much-needed two-week break. However for the following two days, I’ll keep as targeted as potential on the bed room suite. I hope to get at the least two of the material panels for the bed room completed and hung by the top of the day. So fingers crossed that in the present day is a productive day!
