Adulting

Daily writing prompt
What things give you energy?

Well beyond the obvious answer, which would be exercise, adulting in itself gives me energy and gets me excited.

We’ve all seen the memes about how fun it is to get a new appliance, such as a fridge or stove, once you’re a full blown boring adult. But these things do excite me.

Also rearranging furniture, a new shower curtain or bath mat perks me right up.

Today the plan is to move the upstairs couch downstairs and bring the downstairs couch upstairs. It’s one of the most exciting days in a while. We don’t really spend much time downstairs, although we should because it is very cozy and Sid’s jungle gym is down there. Plus the couch that’s down there is the comfiest couch ever made. The couch that’s upstairs is functional but hard and uncomfortable.

So later, we’re swapping them out. Before that happens, I need to organize Sid’s toys which are scattered everywhere and vacuum under the couch so that when Clint’s friend comes over to help him move the furniture he isn’t thinking to himself oh my god, this woman hasn’t vacuumed in nine years.

Because, you know, the tumbleweeds of hair from a golden retriever. They get everywhere and hide and multiply.

So yeah, this is going to be an exciting day and I’m feeling energized.

    1. Nope lol 😂
      I’m going to change them more often I think! The last one I had up, I’d had for 5 years!! But it was pricey (as far as shower curtains go), $200 so I wanted to get my money’s worth.

  3. This line, “the tumbleweeds of hair from a golden retriever,” reminded me of the daily fight in our house with our dog. Yes, they do relentlessly multiply. The photos are super cute. Rearranging furniture is always fun, especially the cleaning part, and it counts as exercise, so that’s a bonus. 😀
