Slumps

For quite awhile, I was stuck in nearly every area of my life. I couldn't even think up ways to get unstuck. And I was sleeping terribly, so perhaps there is a connection there.

Recently, I became unstuck. I don't know how or why, but lately I see a problem and can think up a work around in seconds. I may not have the energy to execute it, but at least I am getting the ideas for when I do have the energy.

Maybe it's because I started a gratitude journal or because I'm beginning to see the light at the end of my renovation tunnel. It could be the hope I've felt since the inauguration happened. Who knows, maybe it's coffee.

Speaking of renovations, there has been some slight progress on the bathroom front. They took measurements and will hopefully have materials soon. I don't know when, but hopefully soon. I had a look at the floor I was originally going to get and it wasn't available anymore. The one that was just like it had a pattern I didn't like. It was a one-sheet style I would have to put in all at once.

That led me to having a look at what else is around at a couple of places online.

I found a plank style floor that is just as waterproof and installs more easily. This means I can paint two of the walls while I'm waiting, start some of the floor installation, and get my sink up.

Sometimes a delay turns out to be better.

The floor came right to my door today though I was expecting to have to pick it up curbside, so that was a happy surprise. I can't work on it tonight though. I got blood tests done today and just doing my recycling made me dizzy, so it's a take it easy night.

Soon I'll be able to get some major progress done around here. I have broken through whatever was blocking me before and I'm really excited about everything!

If you're blocked right now, you can break through it. Maybe you need to bake some bread or just take some time off, but it'll eventually happen.
