Painting! lots of it!! That is what I am doing.
I find painting to be quite therapeutic. I even use a smaller roller than I need to so I can space out and don't have to concentrate too much.
The walls that were blue are now 3/4 tint of hogbristle cream and its just beautiful.
I have no idea why anyone would have painted them blue in the first place, our house is sort of spanishy looking, not heaps, just a hint of spanish, and the blue just doesn't cut the mustard. And don't get me started on the blue carpet!! Why? oh why? such a pretty house, why would anyone do that? (just quietly, the last owners furniture was green! we saw it when we inspected the house!...so I guess that explains the dodgy colours a bit).
The purple feature wall in the loungeroom is also gone, thankfully (yep, purple wall, blue carpet and green furniture, yep *shudder*). Everything is now cream, except for the kitchen and one wall in the entrance way which is a burnt orangey red which is just bee-yoo-tee-full. It made the whole place look much fresher and newer.
My other project is knitting a top down raglan jumper for myself which is going swimmingly. I also find knitting quite relaxing, so between painting and knitting at the moment I am melloooooow, lol.
I got offered a job this morning. It's at a company that I applied for a job at ages ago, but I didn't get the job, but they just rang me and asked me if I wanted six week's work doing something else, its still marketing focussed but a different department. Its a long commute and we still don't have daycare lined up, although I could organise it if I wanted to. I am tempted, but that's just because I am so used to working that it feels normal to just say yes, but I am actually quite happy at home for the moment so I am not sure if I will. I will see what my husband says and then think about it. But probably nah.
