When a bedroom is just a bedroom

hilsAfter moving my office to downstairs things continue to improve in regards to my mental health. At the weekend Jacqui and I completely emptied the cupboard under the stairs. Partially because she wanted to sort out the Christmas decorations and partly because we've been randomly dumping stuff in there since we moved in 10 years ago. We got rid of SO MUCH JUNK. Seriously, no human needs the amount of collapsed cardboard boxes that we'd kept 'just in case we need one'.
As a result I was able to move all the bags of stuff I want to donate to charity that I've been storing in my bedroom for months. MY ROOM FEELS SO MUCH BIGGER NOW OMG.
So, finally, my bedroom is no longer an office or a storage room it's just a place for me to spend my free time and to sleep. God, it feels good.
I took today off work in case I was still tired after getting up at 5:30am yesterday for the streamed Stay Kids concert. I didn't really need it in the end. I napped for an hour once the concert was over and then went to bed at my normal time last night. I'm making a productive use of the day, though. I've cleaned the kitchen and I need to run the hoover around my bedroom now that you can actually see the floor again. After that I have a bunch of fandom things I need to get done like my weekly fic rec post.
In slightly less happy news I had a chat with my mum on Saturday and she said their county in Scotland is now on full lockdown. She's a bit annoyed because she's only five miles from the border to the next county which isn't locked down and she's feeling antsy because it's been raining a lot lately so she hasn't been able to go out jogging. She warned me that when we Zoom at Christmas she's going to cry. Which will almost certainly set me off. So I've got that to look forward to.
I'm just crossing my fingers that it'll be safe enough for me to travel to the beach apartment I've rented. It's going to be miserable enough without being at home by myself on top of everything.
