slow progress

I haven’t made any progress on the house for about a week – no painting, baseboards aren’t done, and there’s still a lot of junk over at the apartment.  For some reason my energy level is not where it needs to be (for today that’s due to a long, difficult yesterday).  Also, I find myself easily getting discouraged when I see how much stuff my wife has…  I look at her stuff like, ‘what is this?’, ‘where and when did we get this?’, ‘what do we need this for?’  Some of the problem is the fact that even though she works with children out of the home, she has a lot of her work-related stuff at home.  It really won’t be so bad once we get it over here, I’m just really tired of moving things on my own.

As for the house, I guess it really isn’t a huge deal.  I’m going to see if my father will come up on the weekend and finish our baseboards (he enjoys that kind of thing), and the upstairs is just kinda empty since we don’t have a lot of furniture.  Oh, but I really hate the paint colors in the upstairs…  they’re all very blah…  and it’s more noticeable because we used such rich colors on the main floor.  It frustrates me to think about it…  so I guess I shouldn’t.
