A nice sunny morning

Ah... A lightblue sky, a bleak winter sun, and some birds flying over.
I don't often take the time to look outside, but I decided to take just that little rest. I realised yesterday night while tossing and turning in my bed, that I needed some slack time after the last stressful days. Even though I have a notebook in which I write down the things I need to remember (such as "buy X" or "take Y along from home"), my usual gears-in-overdrive state of mind is fully active almost continuously. Combine that with discovering more ickiness in the house every once in a while and my poor little head goes poof.
For example, coming to the conclusion that the previous owners can't have cleaned in the 7 years they lived in the house. Or the sloppy state in which some walls or corners were left finished (or rather, unfinished). Or the hole in the bathroom floor that was covered with a hardboard plate. Silly me thought that the plate was just lying around there and had not thought of the possibility that someone would leave a 20x50 cm hole in the floor of his bathroom.
So, at this place my special thanks go to my girlfriend for being able to calm me down over and over again. Purrrrr...
