Today being the first weekend in months that I haven't had homework, I finally had a chance to power-clean my room. Ever since winter break, I've been home so little that I just had college mail piling up in corners with books and art pieces, two baskets of clean laundry waiting for me to put them away, a terribly made bed, dust all over, ceramic pieces I've made without a proper home, and on top of all that, my poor altar and shrine were still set for Yule. It feels so much better to have everything in order - I jest you not, there is a physical difference in my stress level right now. Cleaning gets rid of negativity, of course, especially since dust hangs on to it, but it also looks way nicer.
After cleaning my room, I got down to the business of fixing my altar. I got out all of my Ostara decorations (plastic eggs and silk flowers, mostly) and got the Yule stuff boxed up at last. My little brother came in as I was working on it, and he just sort of stared for a moment before saying:
"Is that all you do to make a living, besides work? Decorate your closet?"
I just laughed. He thinks it's so bizarre that I change my decorations every other month or so.
Suffice it to say, it's overwhelmingly pleasant to be caught up. Now if I could just find the motivation to sew the buttons back on my coat...
