Rebuilding

It's not enough to remove what I don't like from the house - I have to think of what I want to build up in its place.

Lately I feel like I have come to a turning point with the house emotionally. Most of the “cleaning out the junk” phase is done (though not all; there is still the dreaded crawl space under the stairs, and the garage from which who knows if my ex will ever actually pick up his stuff or not, and a few other little crannies).

My mental health is VASTLY bet…
