Do you like what I’ve done with the place? 😬
We are midway through renovations and I am firmly in the both/and.
I am both grateful that so far it’s going well, and my husband is an absolute champion and managing all the little details that would stress me out, and our builders are working hard and well and so far we are on time and on budget (I know, I know, don’t get my hopes up)…
And… I’m tired. I want to come home. I miss being in my own space and I find the relentless emotional management of keeping my highly sensitive kids comfortable in a much smaller space deeply exhausting.
I am well slept, and our renovation rental is as lovely as it could possibly be, and I have nothing whatsoever to complain about.
But I miss my home. 🏡
That is all!
So what to do, when we’re only halfway through? Focus on the glimmers, friends… A lovely cup of tea. Rewatching the original Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow (what a delight!) My very comfortable shoes taking big steps as I walk between the rental and my home. The smell of cement, which I find strangely comforting. How beautiful the view will be from my new bedroom!
The glimmers are always there if we look for them.
Care to add any to the list? ✨
