Stressed, anyone else?

Today is one of those days! So much to do and I have no motivation. MH is bad today too and all I'd like to do is go back to bed.😅

DP is out working at a coffee shop (he usually works from home but sometimes goes out to work) and I've got to walk the dog, just cleaned out the hamster, do about 50 loads of laundry, general cleaning AND go shopping. 😫

Give me motivation?? I don't want to slip back into bad habits and binge eat then go to bed without getting things done.😣

Tomorrow is equally jam packed, dog sitting at our place for my family as well as trying to get the place ready for DP's birthday on Saturday- I'm baking and decorating some cool cupcakes for him.

I feel hopeless!

Sometimes I watch a show with loads of ad breaks when i feel like this - say yes to the dress or similar, and in every ad break i spring up and get stuff done. Doing 5 min bursts with a break in between where you watch some crap telly and plan your next ad break tasks make it seem less overwhelming Flowers

Shop online and have it delivered.

Walk the dog with your partner when he gets home, be nice to go together Smile

I do similar to FauxFox. I set the timer on my phone for 30mins (or less) and do jobs 100% for that length of time, then treat myself to an equal amount of loafing.

I'd give you some of my get up and go, but it's got up and gone.

Day one of a horrendous period, vertigo, rotten night's sleep, should have done all the house cleaning, including deep cleaning the kitchen after the ceiling being replaced, need to have done 5 loads of laundry, and done sweet bugger all.

Oh well, the world didn't end.

@FauxFox Lidl don't deliver :( I did the main food shop yesterday but need to get cleaning products, bathroom bits, veg and wine lol 

He walks the dog 90% of the time (I'm usually at uni during the day) so I feel like I should give him a break and do it! Plus he's not back till after 7.

@sleepyhead That's what I tend to do, I prefer to get it all done in one go though and burn myself out! I need to pace myself. Just showered so feel a tad better now.

I think I've made a plan:
Walk dog
Shop
Clean & put laundry out
Wine.

@mbosnz Thanks I feel shit on my period too- I get vertigo as well and have awful pain.

True, the world won't end but my brain might explode from stress Sad
