It is raining, off and on, and my parents have gone home. I thought I would be relieved, but really I'm just a little sad.
I never talked to my mom about what was going on... just told her about the medicine and left it at that.
I never told my dad I was on medication... just talked about how I felt, and moved on with life.
Last night we were all super-productive. My husband and Dad put up the curtain rod that's been under the carport for well over a year, and I immediately washed and dried and put the curtains up, too. My paneled walls look a little like swiss cheese from the nails I drove, removed, and drove again, but now everything is just where it needs to be. I moved paintings and hung pictures and put pictures in empty frames.
No more procrastinating. No more half-started, half-finished projects. Well... "no more" may be a little ambitious. But at least not as many.
I finished everything on my list yesterday, but it was after 7 so I skipped the nap. I did a tremendous amountof planting and transplanting, then all of the work I already mentioned in the kitchen/dining room. I cheated and let the curtains count as a load of laundry, but I still washed enough jeans and socks and undies to get us well-stocked again. Now I'm washing guest towels to go in the basket on my new fancy shelf that Dad put up in the guest bathroom for me.
I liked yesterday's list, so I'm going to make one for today, too.
-Clean the guest bathroom. I've been putting it off, and it needs to be done. This includes putting the towels on the shelf.
-Fold the clean laundry. Laundry does not belong sprawled across the top of the dryer, and especially not the top of the washer AND dryer. Also, I should put it away when it's folded.
-Wash the dishes. Simple, right? Needs to be done. It was probably the first thing to go, when everything took a turn for the worst. Mostly because I sort of hate it.
And a long-term goal, something that should have let us all know that I wasn't feeling like myself: Take down the Christmas decorations. Lasting through January is fine, and even stretching into February could be alright, if they were particularly beautiful. My goal is to have them gone by May, which gives me about ten days.
Wish me luck.
