Good luck with your appointment, CM. I'm glad you are moved back in and that kitty cat found you! Keep remembering your progress as that will give you strength.

Tillie I'll be curious to see how the light box plays out for me. I have a sneaking suspicion it will help me. I'm not in the "can't hurt" category because I truly think this has the potential to help me out.

Thank you for the tip on treating blood stains. Greatly appreciated. I still believe I'll get that tiny stain out. I know if I could hang it on your line, Tillie, that we'd get it out sooner rather than later!

I'm washing up my winter casual jacket and my down vests. They were laundered before I put them away but I do like my laundry nice and fresh. I'm also laundering my winter slippers.

Having the cleaners has been life changing, Tillie. I was living in filth. My laundry was always done and I always had clean sheets, but that's where it started and stopped. Plus I used to have to do my laundry over and over again because it would get mixed with dirty laundry or fall to floor and my floors were filthy. What a giant difference to have a clean house. You taught me early on to fold and put my laundry away. And I've kept up with it.

I have multiple bags of papers squirreled away in my dining room closet. Will tackle one today and by tackle I mean shred. Because we all know there's nothing useful in there.

Quick driveby before getting ready for dr appt

Got myself moved back into bedroom. Exhausting, and there are narrow paths. But as Tatoulia asked, I do think there is some progress in knowing the location of more items. That should speed up sortin, paper purging, and the like.

It's like I still have the mental template of what I started to do earlier in the summer. It's not complete, and adjustments needed to be made in yesterday's urgency. (Roommate still home, thinks it's bronchitis.)

But I have some priorities, some Sort This Box's Contents First, This One Second, etc. Either based on immediacy of said contents to what's happening in real time, or ease of sorting quickly. And other reasons, like "I'm sick of looking at this here pile of stuff!"

On a happier note, kitty buddy knew where to find me and I enjoyed his snuggles in the night.

Good Morning Everyone

What a lovely post Tatoulia 🙂

You sure have changed in many wonderful ways.
Your priorities are making your life and home so much easier, joyful and healthier.
I believe that you have had insightful "self discovery" also along the way that will keep there changes permanent.
Like having cleaning ladies is important for you, keeps you on top of your game.

WAY TO GO! getting all you got done, done!
Wonderful to have a whole new closet to use too.

I have heard of very good results with the lamps for SAD when they are use consistently daily during the Winter.

Next time, before an item is washed
spot clean any blood with cold water.
If the color is fast or light use hydrogen peroxide to get out the blood.
As a surgical assistant I was constantly removing blood from my clothes between patients.
I wore white uniform dresses daily because it made it easier to see and spot clean off the blood. ;p

The wind is blowing and swirling all the Autumn colored leaves around.
Beautiful fall day today.
Good day to go back into town.

Hello everyone!

Cm I can feel your frustration and weariness. Can you ask yourself a question? In terms of this time last year, have you made progress? In what areas? Is it, in your mind, measurable? I think if you can take a quick pulse on your progress, it might help you. And I think you'll see that you are moving forward.

Let's take that progress and help you to make more before year's end. Would we be able to help you get back into your bedroom? I know you are eager to organize your storage before adding to it. Is it possible to make the bedroom more livable in the meantime? Again, I'm not trying to set priorities for you, I'm trying to help you move past the bad feelings and frustrations.

Tillie I love hearing about your cooking! My own little cat is sitting next to me right now. We had our cleaners today and I have an expertly made bed, which I then tested out by napping on it.

I can't decide if I'm going in tomorrow or not. I need to look at my calendar and see if I can get away with working at home.

I got a lot of things done before the cleaners today but still don't have the closets where they need to be. I am being extremely thoughtful with the hall closet. And I'm happy with it. I'm not sure I can fit my air conditioner in it. But I sure would like to.

I did laundry and laundry and laundry and now I have my comforter with duvet cover on the bed. I washed the quilt I kept at the end of the bed and put it away. From taking the duvet off the closet shelf, I have room to put the other quilt away. The thin white quilt is now folded at the end of my bed. That's a year-round staple. Tillie I couldn't remove that tiny spot of blood but I swear it's faded. I did a lot of laundry today and if I stay home tomorrow I will do a quick load of delicate darks. This time of year I've switched from white and ivory tops to navy.

So I bought a light therapy lamp at the suggestion of my dr, to help with my depression. I started using it today. I started with 20 minutes. I am curious to see if this helps me along.

I saw mom only for a second today to drop off her clean dishes. There was an aide in the hallway, so I asked her to unlock mom's door for me. I caught a glimpse of the cat as she ran to hide. So yes, the ladies are hanging out together!

I just texted my cleaning lady regarding the clothes I have for her. She's been sending two other ladies (mother and daughter). I texted Luciana last week to see if I should give them the clothes and she said she'll come get. I did get the impression that the ladies tend to struggle a bit about who gets the dresses. I might be able to find a pair of shoes for them too. I'll look through the shoe boxes.

Ok Luciana comes tmr for the bag. I'll challenge myself to see if there is anything else I can give her. I think I am wearing all the clothes in my closet but a quick look around cannot hurt.

One of my business partners emailed today to see if my address has changed, as they are getting their Christmas gifts ready. I hated to do it but I wrote back that I am grateful for their friendship and support and that is the only gift I need. It was tough to do but worth it.

I only keep about 1/10th if what they give me. Last year included a beautiful grilling set, apron, very nice implements, etc, maybe a cookbook and a chopping board. I kept the chopping board and gave away the rest. One year they gave a very nice suitcase and a lovely suitcase tag and a very nice travel pillow. I gave the suitcase to a homeless guy we know and I kept, and have used, the travel pillow. In fact, I donated my travel pillow and kept theirs. But alas, I'm better off with none of it.

It was easy to write and I was gracious but I still found it hard to press send. This particular business partner also makes a large donation to a cancer charity and I am grateful for that.

So, sight unseen, I've decided to skip it. The things that arrive at the office, I just distribute at the office. Whoever wants, can take. I used to take the food baskets to my mom's and spread around there. But I'm getting to the point where I'd rather not receive at all.

Look how far I've come! I used to grab up those freebies, useful or not. Now I see them all as not useful.

House is very clean. I still have a few dining room closet things to deal with. I don't use that room as a dining room but it's the one with the shelves for mom's china. The one I'm supposed to be cleaning.

Okay I'm going to do an hour's worth of work then go to bed. We are having high winds and rain. I wanted BF to spend the night with us but he's insisting on going home.

Almost noon here. I guess it rained and was windy all night. I slept like a baby. I'm working from home. I used my therapy light while I sipped my coffee.

I'm dressed and doing laundry. I found another dress to give to the cleaning lady and I've washed it and hope it dries by the time she comes by tonight. I also decided to give her a set of sheets I bought and never used. I was dazzled by the price, which stings. They are still in the package. I know why I bought them, I had some kooky idea of using the flat sheet over my blanket. Then I never did it. So goodbye, terrible waste of money.

Windy fall day here. I did open the bedroom window so that the dress will dry faster.

I think I have a nice pretty sugar and creamer to pass along. I love sugar and creamers and yet I don't use them. So off they go.

What are you doing today???!!!??

Good Evening Everyone

Sun just going down now.
Was a good day.
Scattered clouds but overall sunny and warm.
Both cats came outside with me and Scooter behaved!
Spent a long time updating and fixing my laptop computer.
Cooked hash browns and eggs then cleaned the kitchen.
Tomorrow is predicted to be cooler with more scattered clouds too.
Thinking of going into town tomorrow.
Maybe, just maybe the store will have fully stocked shelves and I will be able to get the things I couldn't last time.

Good Morning Everyone

Hi CriticalMass
What a shame that all your plans get shoved aside by life's events.
(((HUG)))
That's so frustrating.

Your roommate's allergies are terribly and out of control.
Wishing she could find something to help with them.

You need to sleep. Good solid restful sleep makes all the difference in the world to our mental health and clarity.
You said your mattress was lumpy and painful.
Is there any way you could fix or turn it?
Once I fixed a saggy mattress that was killing my back by placing a board under it.
Made the bed properly firm yet still padded.

Please explain the bed/sofa issue to your doctor.
They may then be better able to help you.
(((HUG)))

Going to be another lovely day here weather-wise.
Planning to take litter boxes outside and scrub/scour/sanitize them.
Can't do it easily in the Winter without the hose.
So much easier on my back out in the yard with the hose.

Checking in also.

This is one of those weeks that looked as if it was *finally* going to be open and unstructured, only to fill up right beforehand. I've done my best to be a good sport about it, but I feel like around 90% of my weeks that look like good prospects for attempting to bring some order into my chaotic universe, suddenly change into just another week of having to put my plans for hoarding recovery efforts, or satisfying lufe accomplishments, on the back burner.

My roommate had been dealing with the ragweed - and whatever else - allergies off and on. I'd been praying it wouldn't escalate into one of her infamous long drawn out miserable battles. For her, the term "seasonal" allergies takes on the meaning of "ruining entire seasons of one's life."

She had seemed to be battling back, then it all returned and worsened. Early this morning she came into the living room and sat in her upright glider rocker. I am volunteering to surrender the sofa; I'd originally planned to attack the bedroom and move back in there.

Things drag out until they become urgent crises, and this is a pattern I hate but seem practically incapable of significantly changing. It drives me to near despair, and keeps me in a state of constantly elevated baseline stress. Which then muddles my brain and scatters my thoughts and saps my energy further. UGH.

Sorry to sound like Debi Downer. There have been good things too, scattered amidst the crazy. But what I'm sorely missing right now is any consistent structure and flow.

And of course I feel so awful for my roommate. Wretched allergies from Hell. 🙁 I can pray, and if there is some thing I can do... well, clearing the couch is a thing. I hope I can transition back to my room quietly, actually make room to walk and sleep, etc.

Tomorrow is my followup with the doctor about the back and hip. Sleeping out here on the couch basically cured me. I don't know what going back on that bed will or won't do. Just have to hope for the best.

Wish me luck...

Good Evening Everybody

Had a nice lazy relaxed day.
Did a little of this & that, all enjoyable things.
Made a candle.
Mended two dresses that just needed a stitch in time.
Enjoyed the sight of the trees changing color and the pretty Chrysanthemum blooms, white and rust and yellow.
Thought many deep thoughts.
Played with a leaf hopper.

Hi Subclinical
We miss you but we do understand (((HUG)))

Hi Tatoulia
The plastic screening also degrades over time and develops weak areas prone to tearing.
I redo some of my screens with metal screen because cats easily make holes in plastic screen.

Big cities sure do have fancy sandwiches!
That does sound delicious. ;p

So very happy your Mom loves her new kitty so. 😀

Woke up at 5am but after a while was able to fall back to sleep.
At 9am got laundry hung out on the line.
Washed it last night and had it in a plastic bag.
Today will be another lovely warm day.
There is nothing pressing needing done in my yard/garden area, I'm all caught up.
Should do some cleaning inside but I don't wanna.
When the days are too cold to play outside there will be plenty of time to clean inside.

Hi Tatoulia

YEA!!! for gaining a hall closet and eradicating that dreaded closet!!! ;D

So nice that you can now use it for things that you need and use.

Purple cabbage nestled in some mums would look quite nice.

Been having fun outside in the sunshine soaking up all that vitamin D.
In and making some food now.

Tillie!

I didn't do much on my list today. I ran to the hardware store but they don't repair window screens. I think the one on Charles Street does and I'll call them tomorrow. I know kitty misses sitting in her window. I don't know who or what has been tearing up my screen but I'm pretty sure it's bird poop. I had fixed it myself in a few spots last year but since the phone guy pulled it out, there are just so many areas needing attention.

The things I did do on my list were mom-related. I brought her clean dishes to her and picked up more. And I went to two grocery stores with her. I also went shopping with BF (I bought nothing-yay me) and we stopped for a sandwich. It was a different place than we normally go and they also had a sweet potato sandwich. It was delicious!!! Very hearty bread with Granny Smith apples, mustard greens, blue cheese and walnut pesto. So tasty.

I did get two loads of laundry done. The best part of my day was spending time with BF. we don't get much time together.

So that's what I got done. A lot of walking and a lot of talking. Now I'm completely exhausted. I have started to put away things from the closets and have made more decisions. Oh and cat box clean and garbage out.

Goodnight dear friends. I didn't get to hold mom's cat this weekend. I found her secret hiding spot and I don't want to disturb her. Yesterday I saw a back foot and a tail. Today I saw either her belly or her back. She was definitely sound asleep. Mom said tonight that she loves her so much that it hurts.

I'm busily preparing for mom's 90th Birthday. Will be here in under two weeks!

Hello! Yes it's after 12 noon and I'm in my jammies. I need to hop into shower and hop to my To do list, which is long and unwieldy.

I dreamt of putting things in closets last night. Nice, big closets. I think I can fit one of my AC units into my hall closet. Yes I have a ball closet. Formerly known as The Dreaded Closet.

Ok lots to do. Will check in soon!

Tillie I need to swap out my window boxes. I want cabbages or mums or something.

Happy Indigenous peoples' day

Going to be another gorgeous day.
The inside of the house needs some cleaning but I will spend the day outdoors enjoying the Autumn.
