House issues and mental health

[mtbc]

Waiting for the floors of my house to finally be finished has been dragging me down. The more urgent work is outdoors, preventing leaks: improving drainage, replacing rotten wood, etc. The floors first require some better support below before being finished off. Still, eventually I would then be able to arrange furniture, like assembling bookcases, unpacking books, etc., which may warm my heart.

I can plausibly already go further in setting up for computing and music. Perhaps, rather than being down that I still have personal activities on hold, I can still set one of the bedrooms up, where the floors are already finished, to better allow me to pursue such diversions. Then, I may feel happier in general. Well, it's a thought, perhaps a rather belated one.

I can totally understand as we're living without one room of our house, and our things crammed into storage units and me trying to write sitting in the bedroom with my computer on a tv table/lap desk combo.

Your space and your things are important to your mental health.

Don't beat yourself up over it, and if you do have a room you can set-up, that might help.

That sounds tough. I think you're right that if you can make a small part of the space feel less like a work in progress you'll feel more at ease with the rest of it still being so. Good luck.
