I needed a change with my hair, and a very large part of me was leaning towards going back to black. Fortunately, I didn't have any tubes of black dye around the house. What I did have though was a couple boxes of bright auburn...one was used last night. It's enough to keep me from shaving my head for now.
It's my first of my two days off this week, and I'm still trying to find a good routine for myself. I didn't get out of bed until around 11am but I actually put real clothes on instead of schlepping around in my pajamas all day like I usually do if I don't plan on leaving the house.
I did get all my dishes from the past several days washed, dried, and mostly put away. I plan on getting my meal prep for my next five shifts on the go. I've got the meat pulled out at least. I'm undecided about what else I want to put with the meat. Chicken breasts and pork chops, by the way. I don't eat a lot of red meat, although I do have some hamburger in the freezer waiting for an idea to hit me...probably something along the lines of shepherd's pie.
I've also got a couple bags of garbage cleared out of my kitchen. But I haven't touched my old bedroom yet...I popped in my head in there briefly earlier today and immediately backed out of the room. I know it needs to be done, but the overwhelming feeling of anxiety that hit caused me to decide to put it on the back burner yet again.
I'm coming up on three weeks of living alone, and it's still a bit weird. I do miss having my daughter at home, but I don't miss having to clean up after both of us. Honestly, she rarely cleaned up after herself when she spilled anything in our shared spaces and tended to just leave her dishes all over the counter. I got to the point that I hated even attempting to cook because I knew I would have to clean the counter and stove off before I could even get to the point where I could do food prep.
I know that I will slowly get into my old bedroom and get everything cleared out of it so I can prep and paint the walls. What may end up happening is that I clear out half the room and paint that half, and then move the stuff over to the painted half before painting the rest. Which is pretty much how I painted my kitchen and living room a few years back when I went crazy and did that. I'm using the same paint, by the way. I had 1 and 2/3 cans left of it, and it just needed a REALLY good stirring/shaking to be usable again. New brushes, rollers, and trays though.
I have decided that I will be putting my regular desk into my room after all. My shoe rack will be going into my old room which means I will be able to open my bedroom door all the way so I'll be able to fit my desk in. I may decide at a later date to put my desk into my living room, but for now that's not what my immediate plan is. But that may change before I even get around to moving my desk.
I've been up for about four hours so I think I'm going to crawl back into bed for a bit. I'm feeling a bit bleh and the urge to curl up in bed for a bit is sounding like a damn good idea. Maybe I'll feel up to getting into my old room and starting to get things sorted out finally. Who know. Besides, there's always tomorrow!
