My house desperately needs cleaning, and my artwork is screaming at me for attention. Normally I would be able to spend some time cleaning/working on my art on Sunday, but instead my DH and I will be trying to shred a brush pile at our Small House. The Small Hhouse was our first house - it has been in our family since the early 1920's. Since we haven't lived there since the late 1980's, it is a money sink. But it is my psychological bolt hole. If things get really bad, if my DH's temper gets the best of him and I can't stand to be in the same place as he is for longer than my patience has allowed thus far, I have a place that is fully paid for that I can move to and leave. I can't afford our current home, even if I could pay it off. The maintenance costs and property taxes/insurance, etc would be too high. But I could afford the small house and the size of it would be perfect for a single person. We need the money for retirement though, so I need to actually get the rest of it fixed up and completed so that we can get it onto the market. But that means that I have to try and get some housecleaning done today in between working on my artwork project. I have time deadlines on parts of this project, and housecleaning will interfere with those deadlines, so I am not super happy about this. But the house desperately needs some cleaning...
