"I'm not ready for the new year. I am still trying to finish..... (something here) from last year!"

Waking up on January first Bowie stretched out her arms and sighed to herself. She climbed out of bed and did some yoga and meditation. After an hour she went into the kitchen and made herself a coffee before sitting down at the table with her diary. She began writing a list of what she wanted to do this year. A plan for the week and some goals for the day as instructed by her therapist. She sighed to herself. “I’m not ready for a new year. I’m still trying to finish home renovations from last year!” she said aloud to herself.

Bowie had an extension built so she could have a sun room towards the back garden. She would be able to grow plants and relax. If she opened the sliding doors she would get a lovely breeze come through. In the winter when it was cooler she could put a heater in there so she could still enjoy it. The outer shell was complete thanks to builders but she hadn’t had the time to finish the interior. Every time she started something else would come up. December she never touched it at all since work kept her extremely busy what with it being the holiday season and all. Glancing back at her list she smiled to herself. “Okay today I am going to at least paint the walls with one coat of paint” she said to herself.

Bowie showered and threw on some clothes she didn’t mind getting paint on. She headed to a cafe and grabbed a coffee and a pastry before heading to the store. She glanced over the paint colours and settled on a sage green and then a slightly darker green. The sage would cover most of the walls, but the darker green would be an accent or feature wall where she would put some shelves. Paying for the paints she headed home and headed straight to the sub room. She opened up the sage paint and began painting the walls. It was going to take her a long time to get it all complete but she knew for certain this year it would be complete.
