Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Yeah not good at all @Former-Member But I'm doing my best.

This fence business is something that I was not prepared to deal with, along with the past week's work chaos.

I didn't realise that I was liking away, I guess that's good.

I just want to curl up into a ball & disappear (or maybe there's a black hole to jump into).

I hope you are well.

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Well done on the verandah @Shaz51

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Oh sorry @Adge, get my wires crossed, but please don't drop into a black hole. You need maybe to start some meditation to give your mind a break from these worries / stressors.

It surprises me how they help when we do it regularly. Please remind me the same when I get crazy/strung out again.

And @Shaz51, your cuz 😞 52yrs is so young. Sorry for your loss. Were you close? Be kind to yourself at this is ime. Will you go to the funeral? Death and dieing is such awful business. Hugzz 💜

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

I'm very sad to hear that @Shaz51 That would have been a shock for you.

Thanks @Former-Member I just need some positive distractions with the little time that's left (before bed).

Something that does not sound like F (fence), or W (work), or T (tradesmen)...

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Today I DECLUTTERED - packed a box of books I no longer want, to go to charity, and packed a bag of goodies to send off to my 4yr old niece.

The drawers got another coat of paint today, gloss finish so waiting for that to dry. 

Managed to also rearrange plant pots on thecback verandah, put up a tarp to block the hot afternoon sun - real happy with that. Climbing up & down the ladder is challenging, and valancing at the top 😨 but better than I was last year.

Pruned back the big ginger plant and my fav deep purple daisies too.

Only about 2hrs work but I've been bushed since. 

Hope you all are OK today. Loads of distractions I imagine, with Christmas preparations & gatherings... Can't believe its only 2wks away. 

I'm having b th s feeling of impending doom, like WW3 is about to breaknout. Trying to talk myself down, that its only anxiety or some 'imagined' or 'cPTSD mind stronghold. But ya never know really.

Overwhelmed with my STUFF, sorting it. Think I'm overanxious about the Charity Pickup Truck Booked for tomorrow 😖 Must keep going. Gets worse before better, tripping over stuff here, must get up, keep trying, like an eagle ✈ sour on the breeze. Just keep swimming 🐟 🏊somehow 🚶

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Hey @Former-Member
Have missed a couple of days of sorting two items. No excuses.

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Don't worry @Former-Member, i'm making up for it. I've got rid of a heap this week. Just mailed off a box of gifts I've had tucked away to my brothers family ($20 postage) and dropped off another box full of new toys etc for the children's Kmart Christmas Tree. And tidied the things on the verandah for Charity pickup tomorrow. I'm exhausted!
Haven't bought the drawers up because still clearing a space 😖
Are you OK Darcy?
