Busy, busy, busy....

I can't believe that the weekend is already coming to a close... This past week and weekend, I have been extremely busy and, unfortunately, this upcoming week is going to be just as busy. I guess that may be a good thing - staying busy helps to keep me out of trouble. =)

I have some projects that I am going to be working on that I am excited to start. One of those projects involves my blog... I am approaching the one year mark of beginning "Gypsy's Quest" and I am looking back on what has taken place in this past year. This post will be appearing in the next week or so (I hope). Another project I am getting ready to begin involves my apartment...

In some ways I can't believe that I have been in my apartment for just about a year now. I was only planning on this being an interim apartment and then my out-of-state move fell through. I have been attempting to make this apartment "my own" but it is difficult to do when I don't have the space to empty all of my boxes and put things "away." So, because I am still looking at a wall of boxes (UGH! I hate warehouse living!!!!), I am going to create a fabric "wall" to hide the boxes some. I think I am going to create a frame for my wall using PVC pipe (because my landlords really don't want me to put any type of hole in the wall or I would just use hooks to hang my wall from the ceiling), so one of my missions for the week is to measure and buy PVC pipe. I bought the fabric for my wall some time ago but the project was kind of put on the back burner. I think the time has come to resurrect the project and cover some of these unsightly boxes...

I'm not sure why, once again, things that I have wanted to do have gone by the wayside. I get so wrapped up at times doing things for others that I put myself on hold and say, "I'll go back to 'me' eventually." This is something that I have struggled with most of my life. I just haven't seen myself as a priority. Sure, I will occasionally do something that is just for me, but it's not something that has been a focus of mine. I don't want to go from one extreme to the other and go from not focusing on myself to becoming narcissistic, but I do want to make myself a focus. I need to do it for myself before I can allow someone else into my life I think...

I think I will get there one of these days, I just have some areas of my life that I need a little more work and this is one of those things. Maybe when I work on my "wall," I will need to put on some sounds of the ocean to draw inspiration from... We'll see what I come up with...
