Day 94 - Cleaning

Overnight I didn't sleep much due to baby waking up what felt like every hour, and my arms and hand muscles were sore. It was a sign that I was spending way too much time on the machinery. Unlike usual, I did not turn the laptop on until I felt ready for it.

The time spent looking at the screen was replaced by productiveness.

After the nappies got taken out of the washing machine, I started cleaning. First the sink, then toilet, and bathtub. Then wiping the dust off the decoration counter in the bedroom (had to stop at the fan though as I was away too long for baby and we did nap time). 3 loads of washing, got dinner ready, and H came home just as I was starting the dishes.

Amazingly there was very little head chatter, and no flashbacks at all!

It's been a productive day.

Day 20 of I am enough 100 days.

Day 92 - Onward With Images

Having tidied up the computer files I felt very motivated today to get along with the 'I am enough' series. So much so I got started on 3. Only 32 more to go.

Day 18 I am enough 100 days.

Day 91 - Cleaning the Computer

I have files from year 12 assessments. It's a lot of accumulated files. Today I finally went through the collected articles, images, half-written documents, copies of legal documents and the like and 'binned' the ones long expired their welcome.

Middle of the day dad called on Skype. The laptop froze and I panicked that I lost the half-transfered files. I sprayed Christmas Calm around me, Daichi (grounding mist) around my feet, placed Joy oil in my heart space, and had a lie down with the hands on my head. The thoughts wandered, and got interrupted by baby's eeeh's before the time was up. However I did feel much better for it and got on with folding the laundry, until I figured out how to turn the laptop off completely and try again. Everything was intact, bar the Skype connection. What a relief! It took to early evening to get through the files I wanted to tidy up, create new folders, and condense the amount of things I have stored.

Day 69 - Purging

There is something cleansing about purging stuff. As H is finally home to join me on this, he did his part of the shed cleaning. We got through the old boxes that were collapsing in on itself, and there were a lot of rubbish thrown out too, which was a bonus. I'm looking forward to the day when we can empty the shed out completely, when we move to our own place. But in the meantime, we are grateful to have the storage space at all, and to be able to use the preexisting things in the house.
