helping with the housework Community Group

this is a group for those of us who are challenged by getting things around the house done....come tell us what has to be done and get support to and motivation to get that task done and brag about what you have gotten done daily! It is hard for some of us to begin an easy chore but when we are doing them and get them done do you not feel like telling someone? I do!

Stayed Home Yesterday

Never got out of my pajamas.  Got some cleaning done in my kitchen.  I took "before" pictures.  It was a nice break from driving, shopping, the gym, etc.  Today I am ready for some more cleaning, yard sales, visiting my Aunt, shopping, the gym and I guess that's it.  I really should gather receipts for stuff that I have bought for my Aunt so I can submit them for reimbursement.  I hate doing it.  I tend to put it off.  But it adds up and I can use the money.  I was planning on staying home tomorrow but that might not happen.  I might put stuff off until Tuesday after work so I can stay home tomorrow.  I'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.

Ooo, you’ve got me excited. Maybe I will do some yard sales today. Yay, I get Tuesday off too. Enjoy the weekend Green.

Thanks Mel! Yard sales start at 8:00 or sometimes 9:00. Look on craigslist!

I am glad you enjoyed staying home in your jammies....
getting kitchen clean is a task I have avoided...

I did mop the kitchen and bathroom floors with wet mop with some cleaning solution on it...I think it helped because the bathroom really needed freshing up the floors....so did kitchen. I ran dishes last night after making chili yesterday in the six quart slow cooker... I got things done even with the fact I was tired and went to bed really early last night....

Hey bill! I want some chili! I am already in my jammies and plan to stay home tomorrow all day again to get stuff done here. I did a lot today, some at home but mostly, the gym, Aldi and Dollar General after my visit with my Aunt that I just wrote about. I am following another murder trial. So interesting! I'm glad that you got some cleaning done. I am looking forward to work on Monday after being off from Tuesday to Friday last week. Have a good night!

It's Sunday now. I have been trying to fall back to sleep but have not been able to do so. My eyes are super tired. I have a busy week coming up with 2 doctor appointments, bloodwork, Kohl's on Wednesday, the gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a little grocery shopping, and work. And then there's cleaning and organizing that needs to be done. Maybe I should take a Melatonin gummy? I am going to try that now.

I hear ya. I wanted to sleep in but neighbors too loud. Sometimes I take Benadryl to sleep (mostly for my allergies..but a side effect is sleepiness)

Cross your fingers that my boss changes her mind about going to a community event with me on Nov 20. I really want to go it alone and not have her sitting side by side for 6 hours…omg!!!

Hey Mel! My Melatonin was too old so I spit it out. Eventually, I fell asleep for a short time.

Hoping your boss doesn't go to the event with you. I hate small talk or feeling pressured to be sociable.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
