Monday Complaints :(

Back home and feeling all Monday-ish this morning. It's unusual for me since I enjoy Mondays, but today feels off.

Contractor changed up day and I now need to be up and ready by 8 o'clock this morning. Once again, rushed, abbreviated morning. Then I need to go pick up a load from the old house -- things that I can't lift myself and hubby needs to help move. Didn't I JUST say how happy I am to take a break from loading my car, driving, etc? 

This week is filling up in a way that I didn't want and I feel like I have little choice about it. 

I need space -- quiet reflection time. Alone!! 

I'm also "off" because my spaces aren't settled. Garden -- landscapers ghosted moving soil last week. Office -- the dark paint isn't working AT ALL. Workout room -- needs ventilation so the space is a mess until that gets fixed. Bedroom -- I hate the carpet and it's throwing off how the room feels. 

I wish I wasn't so responsive or sensitive to aesthetics and environment, but I am -- especially when all the spaces aren't comfortable yet so I have no comfort-space to retreat.

Add that I'm overstimulated from back-to-back weekends of heavy socialization and driving and I'm out of sorts. 

My tank filled in Asheville with family, but I guess I have other tanks that need attention. 

Dogs and hubby want attention too. I've been gone a lot over the last 2 weeks. 

Lordy, I hope I can regroup. I need to put some firm space for me on the calendar coming up. This means holding boundaries and saying no to some "asks." And I need to look for other ways to find the quiet moments. 

Enough Monday complaining. Hope you're off to a good start to the week. Later gators.
