Several check marks already

today has been very productive. I have organized the disaster that has been my packing into the back room with bins with like items in stacks where I can find what has gone where. Check mark.

I got five bins that were partially full, sorted and tight packed into three bins - ready to be labeled. check mark.

I "sold" my wagon project for $20. It took three of us to get it loaded on the guy's trailer. He is going to finish the restoration I started and hitch his Belgium draft horses to it. He is going to try to send me a pic when it is restored. Check mark - was not going to drag that to CA with me.

That is a lot for me to get done in one day - let alone that I am on Pacific Time so it is just past 1pm.

In another hour or two my friend I haven't seen in several years will be here to pick up stuff to take to the swap meet for me. I had hoped to have it all ready to just load - but that is not going to happen. She is also disabled so she will understand that we just have to get things done in slow motion. It will give us time to catch up and be social anyway.

yadlim who is too tired to take a nap, Misha who is taking one for me!

It did feel good, but with an afternoon of friends loading a van full of stuff out of my house to take to a swap meet this weekend... I am beyond exhausted. I am so tired I don't even hurt...

But I got a lot done. A full van full of stuff is out of the house. I might even get some money out of it.

so tired. hubby is going to feed me than I am just going to collapse.

Doesn't it feel good to accomplish something ? Just make sure you don't overdo it but I have a feeling that is like the pot calling the kettle black. Lol. Just be careful.

HEY MIsha..you're sleeping on the job :p

Good luck with your swap meet ittems-and yes, you can only do things at your own pace and it sounds like you're accomplishing a lot!

Good job, Yadlim. To the regular world what you did might not seem like a great accomplishment, but for someone who lives with chronic pain you have accomplished a lot. The only productive thing I've done in the past three days is take a shower. Other than that I have done absolutely nothing other than head and eat food, sleep, and watch re-runs of Dexter. I feel completely useless this week. But I have to conserve pain pills until next Tuesday. That means lowered activities so that I only need the minimal amount of pain meds to get through the day. I might however try and help use a rug doctor to clean the couch tomorrow if I can muster up enough will power. Just know that you're getting a lot done and that all of these small steps will equal one huge, gigantic, massive big step in the end. Hugs!
