so, due to the nature of my mood, I went on a sort of nesting-syndrome-binge. Cleaned the garage a bit, cleaned the room a lot. it was already slightly rearranged from a binge I had last week, but I went even further this time and cleaned out under the desk COMPLETELY. It was filled with things we never use, ever ever, and most of it was covered in a good sticky layer of DUST BUNNIES and their children and children’s children and who knows how many other generations of ‘em. Possibly even some dust elephants. Lovely. Nose got all funked up, but it’s doing better now. My fingers are all stickygrimy now though >.<
moved the monitor into a corner so it doesn't look like it takes up the whole room. Amazing how that one small adjustment makes the whole room bigger.
I moved the tower underneath the desk as well, hope it keeps it cooler (heat rises and alla that). Printer's down there, too, and my digitizer is leaning against the tower. On the utter bottom of the desk, between the bottom and the floor, I've put stuff that is useable and has purpose, but aren't used for their purpose very often. Much better this way. Speakers are now on either side of the monitor instead of one in the window (hahahahaha! give the neighbors a kick 
).
anyway! all in all, I love the new arrangement. Lots of room for Jaiden to climb around, and it's livable. Someday we will have to build some sort of library for all of our books, and that will clear up SUBSTANTIAL amounts of space — someday! 
winding down a bit now, listening to the kid talking to his pacifier, butterfly clacky thing, and his spiderman blankie. Somehow the blankie that was Jason's christmas present LAST year has ended up as Jaiden's blankie XD It was used while I was pregnant to hold up my belly (man was that thing heavy!) while sleeping, so perhaps he is familiar with it because of that? Does that sort of thing affect babies when they aren't even born yet? Curious, curious.
gonna see how things go, and just try to enjoy life as much as I can. I haven't really truly relaxed in a loong long time. My "Vacation" time was spent being pregnant or taking care of a baby, and before that I was stressing out with work, and before that I was passing out at a different work. I feel very ready for some sort of break/vacation, SOMETHING.
Having the room clean and organized (I'm not very organized to begin with, at least not at home or really even in my thoughts, so the room the way it is is VERY organized!) really really really increases my mood in a positive way. I feel good, my body feels good, and it's so CLEAN that you're able to RELAX and enjoy the cleanliness
I'ma go drink a huge glass of water and cool down some — the hubby'll be home at some point any time in the near future (was off at 11 but he may take the long way home as always).

I think some solitary time doing something useful should cheer me up. hope so.
