I put another load in before I left. My problem with laundry right now is the lifting and carrying.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Done with work for now. Time to go fold laundry. Then I think I'll use the UFYH app to help me get some stuff taken care of.

Car tax semi-fail. When I got there I only had checks left in the joint checkbook, not my personal checkbook. So, now I owe the joint account money.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I cut the toes off orphan socks and use them for mitts in cold weather. My hands get cold even indoors, and typing's easier in fuzzy hand warmers. Skin and joint issues make fingerless gloves problematic sometimes when working. But repurposed orphan or worn-at-the-heel socks are loose enough to work great.

Thrive to spite them
I have been kind of productive.
Except for the part where I knocked water on to my keyboard and messed it up. My nice Corsair keyboard - but Igot the protection plan. Only catch is I have to take it to work and that's...I dont' know if I want to deal with that.
On the other hand I'm making progress cleaning off the desk. And trying to only put the water bottle I can close on here.
And I put the cans for redemption in my car, put the trash in the trash can, have wrangled the recycling (I forgot to put all that on Tuesday and the recycling last Tuesday so it's adding up). And I'm getting rid of stuff.
Some stuff is going to the Goodwill pile and some stuff is -these containers need to be washed, this rug is...screw it's going in the trash. Not responsible I guess but it's what is getting me through.
The dishes are taunting me. I was looking at them trying to decide if I could just throw any of the pots or bowls away and came away with no, I need them. Well probably not. But i don't want to washthem. I'm sure there's been stuff sitting there needing to be washed since the beginning of Feb.
I know my therapist wants me to find something to do outside the house and I've looked stuff is either - too expensive, too far away, or too much interaction with people. Gas is cheap enough I may just go for a drive on Saturday or Sunday depending on the weather.

I use orphan socks to dust, and crappy tights or orphan thin socks, I stuff with catnip and tie a knot in for cat toys.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The other thing I hate about housework is, I feel like I put in a lot of effort, I'm tired and hungry, and I'm STILL nowhere near done. I wish I were one of those infinitely energetic people who can whirl through the house like a sparkly tornado and clean all the things in a day or a weekend.

All that work, and no apparent result, and then you've got to do a lot of it all over again.

That is definitely one of my big problems with housework.
We are on the road. I think I have enough clean clothes. If not, I'll do laundry at Mom's.

Happy travels, sj.
I don't mind vacuuming, since I like to go barefoot and crunchy carpets are unpleasant. But dusting is my nemesis. The second a surface is sparkling and dust free, more dust starts to accumulate. And dusting doesn't really do much of anything to improve my quality of life. So it gets done once a month, if then.
I kind of like doing laundry. Sorting takes less than five minutes. Dropping dirty clothes into the washer and setting it going takes even less time. Then I can goof around on the computer while listening to the machine going, and feel like I'm accomplishing something.
