When the HGP hits I start out tackling the world from ceiling to floors and I don't stop until every little thing is repaired, spotless, decorated & organized. The problem with this is that there isn't enough time to jump into major projects in each room before the next starts. My mind knows this but once I get started I want to see the ideal end result. The actual end result is that you have several rooms torn to shreds at one time thinking that next week you can get back to it and finish up.
I'm running into a major mental block here. I started on my office/creative space which was under construction. I havent' even finished painting let alone organizing everything into the new location, so my stuff is scattered across the diningroom table, old office and new. I began my front porch with everyone but new handrails and such needed painting so a little sprucing up turned into a major job. My front porch still isn't finished and I moved on to my living room to keep up. More major projects in this room. A major decluttering of DH's collectibles has left my kitchen counters full of stuff to be cleaned before relocating or storing. In other words my office puked in my dining room and my living room puked in my kitchen. As the week comes to an end I can't see allowing yet another room left unfinished.
I do hope everyone else has had more success so far. I hope to be back on track soon.
