I had not the faintest idea how to keep myself in a manageable condition today; it has been really tough.
I therefore decided to tidy. *faint smile*
The dining room has been melting under crud for a while, so I decided to tackle it. It has too many places for stuff to get piled and to lurk and holds all our crafting stuff, plus a cello, 3 violins, a viola, 2 flutes, a glock, a keyboard and a couple of guitars.
And a lot of mess.
I cleared two bin bags of stuff excavating, a little tearfully, lots of the crafty stuff the girls did while I was in hospital with Freddie. I binned a million bits; I seem to be entirely un-sentimental all of a sudden. I daresay I’ll regret some of it but hey… today it felt cathartic.
We’ve reduced two bookcases down to one.
I’m not sure what happens to a home educator who gets rid of books and puts bookcases in the garage. I guess the HE police may turn up and bust me back down to Sergeant 😆
We even have separate shelves for crafty bits. Go me.
Been back out on my bike after a bit of a break. Nearly up to 200 miles.
Had a family bbq. Tomorrow will be better.
Reducing bookcases :-(.
Crafty shelves!
Hope tomorrow is better.
Wishing you some waking-up thoughts.
Catharsis is good – I have done A LOT of throwing out these last months (but then my husband thinks I’m borderline OCD anyway, so maybe it’s just me). Wishing you a gentler day tomorrow, Merry.
right there with you on the tidying/decluttering. in my case i can only do it on a good day, but the good feeling and the effect helps me through the bad ones.
Tomorrow WILL be better.
