Definitely @colouringindoors, I had to force myself to get out of bed, alarms going non stop from 7.30am till almost 10.30am. I'm struggling to even reply to texts, emails, WhatsApp, Facebook etc as it's overwhelming.
Sorting out this room will be a massive help to me as I can't even get the door closed so if the front door is opened you can see straight in to the shame room. I've tried moving stuff but the pile collapsed on me, it was just piled every which way by the men with a van in mid March as I wasn't able get oversee it myself.
I have someone who does my grass for me, he keeps telling me that it needs cut at "least once a week", it's almost 2 weeks since the last cut and I checked this morning, almost half an inch (so hardly a wilderness) I will keep insisting on the 2 weekly and monthly in the winter, as he is trying to make handy cash and I refuse to pay £80-100 a month on grass. I live on a council estate so that might give an estimate on the size of the gardens, so not massive and the front door to the gate is taken up with ramp.
He spoke to the fella next door but one, one day, he asked him if he was going to paint the fence, he said yes when he had time, grass man knocked on his door the following morning to ask him to put the kettle on as he was working for hours and needed a drink, it was just after 8am and he had painted the fences and was ready for payments. Neighbour told him to f off as he hadn't asked him to paint it, he just went ahead and wanted paid for the job. He had started work at 5am cos only "dossers sleep in" apparently.
He tells me that if I just got out of the bed and off the sofa, I'd be a lot better healthwise!!! I also need to pray it away (I'm atheist) and think positive. (Bangs head on the wall), for a bit of context I've spent 6/12 months in the past year in hospital so absolutely fine healthwise??? Rant over🙄
I have been keeping an eye out / putting feelers for a cleaner as I had one until I went into hospital, she closed her business in November as surprise pregnancy so she is concentrating on the 🚼 now, her youngest is 20 so was a surprise for her, so want to try and find someone but covid etc.
My wins today:
Wash / drying / dishwasher loads all on at the moment
Stew in slow cooker doing it's thing
Cardboard boxes in a pile (local recycling centre is still closed)
Kittens fed, watered, new trays, put outside for a while to air the house out (they were in a pen) currently cuddled up on my lap, played with them for a while, they are tired
Bundled up excess bedding which is going to my brother, he plans to visit the weekend after next, put inside a suitcase that needs to be returned to him (12 x fitted sheet for single bed, I don't have a single bed anymore since my move in February)
Refilled all soaps / toiletries check
Self care
I have booked a back massage for the 27th,
have also booked vision express for the 21st as I need new glasses asap, I've been wearing my reading for everything as my other 2 pairs broke, if I knock my glasses off the bedside table, I need glasses to find my glasses.
Need to book in with the nurse for bloods which are due
