Not So Happy List

34 - Don't Like My Neglected House

7/2/2016

0 Comments

 
In past years Don and I have put on blinders to avoid seeing all the repairs and updating chores that are needed, on our 20-year-old house.  We've taken trips instead.  But if I'd known I was going to be spending so much time at home, staring at that annoying crack in the paint or this worn carpet, maybe I would have done something earlier... so I could enjoy this home, that I actually really do care about.

But, the good thing is... you can always decorate to distract from flaws!

Actually I've always loved holiday decorating.  Even before kids, Don and I both had a good time making things festive. But since becoming empty-nesters, we've traveled more.  And when you're not at home as much, then why bother? I've missed my silly decorating fun.

So I did one wise and silly thing during those weeks I waited before surgery.  I dragged out some of the fun stuff.  I set up a "beach table" near the couch where I've spent a lot of time.  And then I added a few July 4th goodies during that first week, while taking it easy.  The paint and repairs can come later. This is all I need now!

    Not-So-Happy            List

    Cancer - Covid

    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me.

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200!
