halfway finished

I'm not very good at things being halfway finished.  It's like I either want to quit, or I want to get it all done NOW and will run everyone down who gets in my way in the process.

I'm sorta stuck in the middle of that right now.  There is still a lot left to do, although we've accomplished a lot this week.  But I am so tired of my house feeling like something out of a horror movie that I just can't quit, which is causing sleepless nights and the rewriting of lists over and over so that they appear organized.  Also, there's the little problem of the carpet in one room smelling terrible still, even after the professional cleaning.  I just freaking HATE that. 

This week we've accomplished rehoming all extra cats, getting the carpets cleaned (and all other floors), Mel's room is completely clean (minus the smell), and the bathrooms are pristine.  Living room looks great - one more bookshelf to sort of reorganizie.  Kitchen needs touched up.  My laundry room needs some tidying up, but it's not too bad either.  My bedroom however still needs major help.  Our clothes are a hot mess, and I'm tired of living that way.  Plus our headboard needs some help.  I guess it's not all that much when you look at it in the big picture, but I'm just so ready for it to be finished so I can just maintain.  There's something about having a baseline.

I need to get the carpet in her room to stop smelling like someone died in there, though.  It grosses me out. 

The other things that are going on in life are my discovery of Jill Shalvis' books.  Yummy.  My favorite author of all time is Nora Roberts, but I've read all of her stuff - own everything but her last book, which I've already read - and will own that one as well.  I love the way she creates dialogue and characters with actual depth and a story with plot.  I've never found anyone that compairs to her.  Jill is carving a place, though.  i could  be interested.  I'll keep you posted. 

I'm also dealing with discovering new music.  Dealing with sounds heavy, but it's not heavy - just mind consuming.  I think about it a long time after the song is over.  I admit to being spoiled and having two streaming music services, and I use them both every single day.  That's what I spend my money on.  No shame about that either, as I don't spend it on anything else! I'll give you some recommendationgs later this weekend. 

I should get back to the lists.  Maybe if the house is finished my brain will relax enough to tell some stories.  That'd be good!!
