Well that went to plan then! Not
Well I should have expected it really, but I totally crashed last night on the sleep front and slept through until 12 noon. Feeling a lot better than I did but there are quite a lot of bits that ache, due to me pushing myself.
I am today taking things easy just pottering in my own time and doing what the fancy pleases me to do. I am hoping to get to some of my crafting over the weekend as well which should give me some downtime.
Now I can start to do a bit in my own time and hopefully get things a lot squarer still. Decorating will certainly be going on probably starting from next week as I need to get some more materials to start seriously. Bathroom is on the Agenda first. Then the kitchen. Then the under-stair cupboard and the Dining room. G is well aware now that decorating is going to be taking place and I have also informed him that I want to learn to wallpaper. I need to have a go at this myself so that I can if necessary deal with it myself at my own time and place and will not have any holdups negotiating what can and cannot be achieved. I am too independent for my own good, however that is the way I was raised and I am grateful for that.
I am also hoping to do a little more preserving. Might do a couple of projects this evening. In the end did not get there, I did get my hair done though and my nails tidied up a little bit after the trauma of the last few days for them.
Tomorrow we will look at the Tip situation and it may be that we will do a couple of runs a day just to start getting stuff shifted. I may well then be able to start to get on in the garden as well which for the past 10 days has not had as much attention as it should have which I am quite peeved about, but really it has come down to priorities.
I did manage to get the watering up done today, and hope very much to get into the garden tomorrow. Fingers crossed and toes plaited. It would be good to have some downtime after the last few weeks before I start again. Saying that and realistically the garden will need to be kept working at for a little while each day to get it under control and also to be able to do other things as well. As mentioned above there is also the decorating to tackle as well.
I have managed to get to my crafting a little today, a project I do not think you have seen. It came to light whilst sorting in the back bedroom. Quite a bit has been worked although I did not have all the yarn for it. I have managed to match the colours more or less with Sostrene Grene yarn. The green is just a shade off the one I had actually been using, so if I mix the patches up a bit, when it comes to completing it, it should not be seen so easily. More on that though another day.
Right am off to bed to try and catch up on a little more sleep.
Catch you soon.

Well, I think you deserve a bit of a rest day - you have been working so hard. I wish I had half your energy but at the moment the heat and humdity = plus wildfire smoke - makes doing much more than small jobs just too much. But - it's only a few weeks until Sept. when hopefully the temps will cool down and I will get my energy back.
ReplyDeleteI do still try to do small jobs - like tidying the pantry and the freezer a bit, and taking note of what needs to be purchased to fill in gaps = getting the laundry and ironing up to date (including a lot of things from my late aunt which will be donated) and jobs like descaling the kettle and coffee maker. At least I feel as though I have accomplished something!
You are a brave soul to attempt wall papering! My mom used to make me go and help my dad with that sort of thing as I was the eldest - still a bit traumatic! :-) Good luck with it - you will have a completely new home by the time you get all of this done!
Hi Margie, I am resting. Going to start again next week. The energy comes and goes but I do fight through it, sometimes only just. It is very hot again here as well and the humidity does me in. It must be horrendous with the humidity and then the wildfire smoke as well, not that I have experienced both together. We do not have air conditioning but this is an old Victorian Terrace and it is cool in the summer which is a blessing and believe it or not having the blinds or curtains closed also seems to help with the temperature. The heat and the cold do have an affect on people with auto immune conditions generally in any event from what I have read. Fingers crossed your energy is back soon, but you can only do what you can do even if it is only small tasks. Some jobs you have to do out of sequence as a result. Doing something is always better than nothing. Do not fret time will come when you can. I just need to have a go at doing the wallpapering. It will probably kill me and no doubt G and I will be having words at some point. I used to help my Mum with the wallpapering and decorating too. I am not too good with measuring stuff though. I am slowly getting there with creating a bit more space in the house but still a long way to go. Lots of little steps in getting there, but it is the getting there that is the important bit. You take care, and you are doing fine. Hopefully will get some preserving done over the weekend, especially as I need to clear the freezer a little bit as am working on clearing it down to then replenish it. Just take it steady.
