Just been simply being as things came along

Saturday

The delivery driver was earlier than expected today which in a roundabout way was a good thing.  Now have all 8 bags of 100 litre compost sitting in the garden ready for some action from me.  However it rained most of the night the good soaking rain that does good for over three hours.  Everything was drenched when I went out this morning to clear a space for the compost to sit for the time being.  The delivery drivers were really helpful and carried it all through for me.  I think it may be tomorrow before I get to be able to start the potting up though.

I had done some washing last night but it was touch and go whether it would go out or not.  Have just put out and the sun has come out to play at long last.  More is in the washer ready to go out later on.

Today I am predominantly working in the bathroom although some things are being dealt with in the kitchen.  I am working my way out of the bathroom, to the kitchen, the Pantry then the dining room.  In reality the Pantry is more or less done, but other items have to be tidied into other storage options before I can get it back under control again.  The laundry is being done in-between everything else and will be until mission is accomplished.  So lots going on just very little to see for it at present.

The little room has been thoroughly washed out, all the walls, ceiling, shelving, anything that does not belong in the bathroom has been moved elsewhere.  Have some serious sorting out to do in the back bedroom.  However that will happen.

Despite the best of intentions, I did not get into the greenhouses or to the potting up.  We had a bit of a catastrophe in that I had a couple of bags of flour split and go everywhere.  Have been doing my best to get this cleared up.  Am so cross about this as unnecessary work caused accidentally.  Has put me back a bit.

I did not even get to any crafting which am not at all happy about.

The washing marathon continues.

Sunday

An early start courtesy of Missy although she has not been as bad,  Back into the kitchen we go to start with at least.  Some work done although not a lot.  Did not even get to do any crafting as did not feel up to it.

I have decided to re-arrange things in the kitchen a bit hopefully to free up a little more space and to keep items that I need to use but not all the time in a poly trunk which is easily accessible. These next few weeks are really going to be busy with both the house and the garden.  Early starts I think are going to be routine until I have played catch up and got those things needed to be dealt with done.

I am a bit wound up at the moment with peripheral things going on in my life, and so am seriously assessing where and what I need to address first.  I am a first class procrastinator, I wish I was not, but in many respects real life has made me like this.  I know it is not good and I need to get this negative attitude/reaction under control.  It only does me harm at the end of the day and something I really do need to address.  Taking one day at a time, and simply being in the moment at any one particular time.  Some moments more stressed than others.

Monday

I did not get any sleep in the early hours last night/early this morning.  A Jack Russell had me awake for over four hours because she just would not settle. It was about 4:30am before she finally nodded off and then I just crashed.  I do not do lack of sleep at all.  At least she has calmed down an awful lot to what she has been.

I have seized up though with my joints.  All swollen, all stiff and moving is difficult, even though I am still continuing to do a few exercises for my shoulders, arms trying to keep movement going and my back has been bad too.  All things will pass as soon as the rain goes and things will be easier then.  It is the getting through that matters at the end of the day.

As a result I have chosen to take today off.  Just sit with the energy and issues that are on my mind at the moment.  Weather has not been particularly good and it does not look good for the next week - a lot of rain.  

Need to up my game and address things instead of letting things worry the heck out of me.  Life is not always straight forward and simple and I am tired; deeply tired. Sometimes things need dealing with and you just cannot deal with them.  As I tend to address things with caution plotting a safe way through things overall.  I like to know where I stand. However things will sort - I am absolutely determined.  Cussed is my second middle name!  Enough on that though.

Tea tonight noodles with meat and veggies.  Looking forward to this as it is a filling tea, but with lots of good fresh veggies in and extremely tasty.  Pre-bought meal - not one have created but something have been craving.  

Just off to cook tea, but am posting early tonight to wish you a lovely evening wherever you may be.  Me I will continue resting and if I feel up to doing some cross stitch I will pick up needle and thread and do a little.

Have a good one.

Catch you soon.
