It’s that time of year again. I’m happy that my windows are open. I’m not pleased with how DERN muggy it is out. It makes my legs ache. I’m only 31, but my body is already susceptible to the weather. 
Anyway, I have been neglecting this site for a bit. I got really busy theater-wise, which is always good, but can be very draining. It doesn’t leave much energy for much else. I still enjoy this place as my escape from all that, but if you’re curious about the theater part of my life I’ve started an additional blog called BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
Anyway, because I’ve been so wrapped up in theater I haven’t been following my favorite Home Design blogs. I went on Apartment therapy yesterday for the first time in a while and realized they’ve already started their Spring Cure! I’m sad that I missed it. The Cure really helped me re-claim my apartment last year and I was hoping to do the same this year. Basically the cure is based on Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan’s book Apartment Therapy: the eight step home cure. The book “…will lead you through the eight weeks and the basic cure requires minimal expense as it takes you from room to room and helps you declutter, organize and clean your home.” I STRONGLY recommend it. It’s a great jumping off point for getting your home (and your life) back under control.
An added benefit is completing the program WITH the Apartment therapy website. Basically, there are support groups and you post your pictures to a forum and if you’re making really great progress they post your pictures to their website. Mine made it 3 times! As silly as that sounds, it really helps, motivation-wise, to get a little pat on the back from time to time.
So I’ve missed the interactive Spring Cure deadline. I’m going to have to do it without the help and support this year. I think I’m up to the task though. Birds are chirping outside. Winter is definitely over. We’ve propelled head first into Summer, almost by-passing Spring. I have about a month off before I start on my next show. So it’s time, once again, to reclaim my home from the mess I’ve made of it this winter. I’ll keep you guys updated of the progress made and feel free to ask me questions about the cure or anything else! I love questions!
P.S. Sadly, it does NOT look like I’m moving this summer as much as I would like to. So that is all the more reason for me to re-claim my space and feel happier in it! HAPPY SPRING/SUMMER/whatever everyone!
