Dust settles. Dust is gross. I began anew my cleanse of house, stuff and clutter. Ridding my life of things I have to much of. Also redecorating with the extra funds from the holidays and peak at Amazon.
I outfitted my living room with new curtains and rods. I have plans to paint the floor and get a new carpet. Redecorating the guest room when the roommate moves out and takes his accumulative stuff and the things I'm giving him. I plan to repaint that room to match the others. A light gray perhaps. I bought a new curtain and rod for that room last night. It has a pile of new linens and a beautiful quilt my Mother made and gave me for Christmas. Waiting to be installed. Took it for a test run last weekend when my sister was here. However roommate does not get to use it on the account of being dirty and its white.
Derek and I took the Saub to Ellensburg and hit Fred Meyer for the rest of the curtains. I also got a new carpet to wood floor trim piece. The last one I removed because Gabby sliced her foot on it. After shopping we went to see 'The Revenant.' Beautiful winter scenery and loads of violence. Filmed in Canada, Montana and Argentina. It was good, but we don't know that we would want to watch it again. It was gross. And damn people were filthy in it. Just plain dirty. The kind of dirty when they washed or fell in the water they were still dirty. I know it was a movie. But you know they lived like that. Dude hollowed out a horse of its guts and climbed in it naked for the heat, in a storm and didn't bathe after. Clothes were still dirty from a bear attack and he rotted and bled in them.... That kind of dirty.
Relieved for yet another movie, that smell is not included.
Side note for my animal lovers friends: (Horse had just perished due to being run off a cliff.)
Bet Leo gets an Oscar for it though.
Slowly the new look in my house is taking over....remember (Danish Design) and the painting of wall and trim). I think I can also breathe better mentally and physically. I still need things. But in order to get new things I'm letting go of the old things. Not that I have much of a problem getting rid of things but its time to get rid of things.
I read an article about dust somewhere. It was gross. Dust mites can ruin your sleep. I vow to be better at dusting. I like a clean, organized line. What happened? Stuff happens. I have a pile of donations that I will donate today. Today I plan to round up all those bags you collect. Purses, bags stashed under the bed. I'm going to whittle them down to what I need. Just like Leo only needing the one set of clothes that he wore the entire movie.
