Sticks and Stars

My initial intention was to spend today (and yesterday even) cleaning my old house so that I could be done with it all and settle into my new house, but yesterday (and today even) I realized that it would be much more beneficial to my sanity if I spent that time digging out my bathroom and living room and whatnot and giving myself function living spaces. So that’s what I did, and indeed, it was a good choice. My living room, kitchen and bathroom are all quite nice, and my bedroom and the boys’ bedroom are at least functional, if still a bit chaotic. It will be much easier for me to attend to the other house now that I can actually live in this one.

I still feel so tense and stressed out though. If it didn’t mean that I’d need to call around to find someone, I’d be tempted to hire someone to do the cleaning for me — and I’m completely broke anyway so that’s not even really an option. Now I just need to decide whether I spend part of every evening for the next no-more-than-12-nights cleaning the old place in small bursts (considering that I need to go there with some frequency to do laundry since there is currently a huge fiasco happening with my eagerly anticipated washer and dryer), or whether I should stress about it for the rest of the week but get it all done in one big burst next weekend. Really, I want to do neither.
