Just got back from dropping NG off at the airport, he is away for a couple of days. Can I say, I'm looking forward to the time to reflect quietly - what a change from a few months ago when I was fretting if ow was going with him
This thread is to mark my attempt to lose some of the negative sentiments that were creeping around over the weekend. I've been drifting along a little, and really need to pull up my socks and focus. Starting with my home. I should not live in an environment that is less than pleasing to me, just because NG does not want to go shopping, or does not pick up after himself.
Our bedroom is long overdue for a revamp - we are short of smart storage space. Last time we went to the furniture store, NG suggested we had lunch, and then said he was not in the mood for furniture shopping. He has not been in the mood for the past month. Well, I just came back from ordering new wardrobes, they are being delivered and assembled tomorrow and the whole bedroom will be sorted by the time he gets back. The way I see it, he gets the hassle-free space he wants, I get the better environment I want. Everybody wins.
With luck, I can re-frame it as a wonderful surprise for him. Wish me luck in reframing the many other less-than-perfect realities around here
