Woke up feeling rested and more optimistic. Vacuumed the floors and couch. Laundered bedding. Aired out the room. Cranked the air filter up to the allergen setting. Ate and took vitamins. Bathed. Gave attention to the pets. Browsed and researched potential places to move, in case I find something nice enough to make me want to.
I may change my view by tomorrow but for now I am not minding the intermittent bombs of independence day. My neighborhood always gets the good illegal stuff so I can see awesome displays right outside my window. Last year was especially incredible! I didn't even need to get out of bed to see a professional grade fireworks display. It's not even dark yet (and not even independence day yet) but people are already going nuts. As long as nothing catches fire, I'm fine with it. It's festive. I'm not even bothering to close the windows. It's one of the few times a year that I don't mind the noise too much. I don't mind noise if it's fun.
I have a strong urge to paint some baseboards and cabinets black and paint stars on my ceiling and go wild with my nest. But sitting and dreaming about it sounds just as nice and is a lot less work.
