Greetings, fellow adventurers in this wild world! As the proud owner of a delightful condo since 8/31/2023, my days have been a vibrant tapestry of house projects, balletic endeavors, and an ever-evolving theme for each passing year.

Let's dive into the latest chapter of my domestic escapades. Today's mission? Revamping the laundry space that has long languished in neglect.

Picture this: my closet, a wild jungle where items were thrown in with reckless abandon, a chaotic symphony of disarray. But lo and behold, the time for an organizational intervention had arrived! With a triumphant battle cry against the clutter, I embarked on a grand expedition

First, a dramatic flourish as everything tumbled out, unveiling the hidden treasures and forgotten relics buried within. A sweeping gesture followed, not just metaphorically but quite literally – I armed myself with a broom, sweeping away the remnants of chaos like a superhero banishing villains.

Hooks, those sneaky culprits clinging to the walls, were not spared from my organizational conquest. Out with the old, in with the new – hooks of my choosing, strategically placed to create a masterpiece of order. The air vents, witnesses to the closet drama, were given a thorough cleansing, and a cloud of dust was banished into the abyss.

Ah, but here enters the whimsical realm of the ADHD tax, where absent-mindedness becomes a currency of its own! Picture this: a delightful dance with your hard-earned money, where glasses, wallets, and impulsive purchases twirl together in a chaotic waltz. The list of expenditures and misadventures? Oh, it's an ever-expanding tapestry of forgetfulness!

Now, let me regale you with a tale of my own ADHD tax adventure. When I acquired the opulent curtains for my living room, I, in my dance of distraction, ended up with two panels too many. Alas, instead of gracefully returning them, they found refuge in a drawer, biding their time since September. But fear not, for today, an unexpected surge of inspiration swept over me, and the neglected panels finally found their moment in the spotlight.

The grandeur doesn't stop there; oh no, my friends! My next audacious project involves banishing the closet doors from the living room and welcoming mirrors in their stead. Why, you ask? Not only will this amplify the room's luminosity, but it also offers a perfect space for my impromptu ballet performances. Who says home projects can't be a dance extravaganza?

Speaking of ballet, let me regale you with the joy that has been pirouetting through my life. Lately, I've been twirling and leaping, so entranced by the magic of the moment that I've forgotten to document these whimsical adventures. Life, after all, has a knack for whisking us away, but fear not – my commitment to organization in this new year remains unshaken, sans resolutions.

Instead of making resolutions that we're doomed for failure, in 2022 I decided to create a theme instead. My word of the year was "blossom." Oh, how I bloomed! A near-death experience early in the year paved the way for a mental health portrait project that broadened my horizons and introduced me to remarkable souls. By the year's end, I'd metamorphosed into a new and improved version of myself – employed, surrounded by new friends, and brimming with confidence.

Enter 2023, the year of the Phoenix. Rising from the ashes, I initiated a divorce, moved into my first home, and celebrated milestones with my beloved C. Today marks our anniversary! The year unfolded with dates, joys, new experiences, jobs (each upward), and blossoming connections.

And now, as 2024 unfolds its mysteries, I've embraced the word "sanguinity." It encapsulates cheerful optimism, a beacon that guides my journey into the unknown. Whether enchanting design consultations or delving into home projects, my spirit radiates joy and optimism, leaving smiles in its wake.

In this fantastical chapter of life, let us dance through the chaos, revel in home transformations, and embody the spirit of sanguinity. Who knows what delightful adventures await just around the corner? Stay tuned for the next whimsical installment of this quirky saga!
