SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

[CheerBear]

So many ticks there @Former-Member 🙂 It's so great to see. You're sounding like you're doing really well through the bumpy ride. I agree - it's so hard to get momentum once you've stopped.

Hope you enjoy your time in the garden 🙂

Great start to the day @Former-Member. Hope you got enough sleep last night. Maybe a little power nap otherwise? 

Family stuff - urrrggghhh! nit my thing at the moment except my kids. 

Glad you are enjoying the weather. It's so dry here. Really need some rain. I'd like it to happen at night though.

Thanks @Cheerbear and @Soul. Hope U R OK?

Blackdog, the Negative Committee & other me's are active in my head this morning - exhausting keeping up with who's who & which to run with. Hating myself right now, and have an underlying anxiety - a sense of 'calm before the storm' in the heavens 😧 Maybe too much Bailey's last night, oops!

Only cure for this overthinking is to get busy in body i guess 😞 . Not good at that, not easy when the body does protest (as @Kurra & @Dec know well. At least I have plenty to do here lol

I've had a lovely surf on the net last night, of places I could live when I move. Maybe thats triggered all the thoughts. Also found a money advise website - to ask question (so need that). As @Owlunar picked up, 150k is not really enough to buy again - so where to put it? Thinking paying off my sons HECS, his car, buy a mini RV for me, take a long holiday at a health farm or cruise... that should just about cut it. Or maybe buy a pine forest acre  or two in the moddle of nowhere to retreat to to take holidays. Half the population rents. Dream on 😒 Always activates the child within (and activates the others). So ambivolent sometimes "not job" comes to mind. Oh well. Who really knows my inner workings but God? Thank goodness the 🔆 loves me even when my self compassion radar is down :police_car_light:

Yesterday I found this book I started ages ago

Definitely back on top of my reading list.

One of the quotes inside says:

"THE THINGS YOU OWN 

END UP OWNING YOU"

- Flight Club

Thinking of you @Former-Member. Lots of decisions to make.

Like the pic @soul 👍 thanks ☺
You OK? Still a bit flat I sense, wish I could make is all better ☺ I have to duck up the chemist and post office, maybe pick up some groceries. Might walk, yikes! lol

Hi @Former-Member. I've been doing some cleaning up at home. Just the bare minimum, but each day- ssomething else.
I think you're doing an amazing job with your house. It will all be ready in time. And someone will walk in & it will feel like home to them & then SOLD.
So keep going. Little by little.

[Former-Member]

Well done!!! @utopia, keep going. As you say, a little at a time.

I have to rest my back a lot but every EVEN HOUR I make sure I get up and tackle another job, no matter how small.

Today was washing, shoppong and one filing cabinet drawer. And i visited a friend whose been sick.

Last week was hard, this week my living area is normalised so I can slow down a bit.

(see the little ginger visitor walking by? grr). 

Think I'm domestically challenged lol, one day i'll learn to 'put things away!'

Musn't give up! We can do this! 💪👍

lol

[utopia]

@Former-Member. Your loung room looks great - ginger cat and all. A fantastic job

[Former-Member]

Thanks @utopia 🙂 - but funny how ya notice things in photos you miss IRL lol Like the cabinet door open, the garbage bag hanging off the drawer handle, the sewing box out, the sloppy joe draped over the couch, grr 😫 I'm so messy!! But thanks, actually still looks better than a week ago 😮

Can't show ya what's in the bedrooms yet, oh boy!

[Former-Member]

Looking good @Former-Member
Keep chipping away, you will get there.
