As per my backdated post for last few days I am motivated and feeling positive. I am however so sore that I am struggling.
Morning routine was done in stages and I stripped bed and put in washing and changed the covers as they desperately needing done. I now cant wait to get in it.
I was dreading coming down to a sink full of dishes to find that after my partner gave me breakfast in bed he had completed them all for me. Sink still needs a wipe and them put away but no washing up for me until later!
Then breaking when came down was needed and more painkillers that I'm worried afternoon will not be possible and definitely not all the catching up on the decluttering surely?
Well maybe not completely caught up but I did manage to put dishes away, shine sink, quickly wipe the worktops down. Then put out the hotspot that is the dining room table and wipe that while listening to chapter of my audiobook.
Had break as even just that ten minutes was too much. But really wanted to work on decluttering even if wasnt the weeks worth. I decided on the 2 top drawers in kitchen. I sat at table n partner helped (primarily his things).
Top drawer was cutlery but also everything else that was thrown in. We now only have 8 of each cutlery items even if all different we will get a proper set for him eventually. Only couple things like glasses /sunglasses n his wallet were put back in there.
Second drawer was mainly clutter bits n pieces and mail with couple kitchen things thrown in like scales. Most went in bin but rest put into there right places and paperwork keeping in the filing pile to keep. I also emptied utensil box that sits on work top, partner always wanted them in drawer, I threw away some n put rest in the second drawer with other kitchen bits.
First time ever these have been decluttered since I have known him. Which is about twelve and half years.
He is a hoarder but done so well lots he fought to keep just few months ago he knows how much means to me to get rid of it all. He really is trying.
Rest of afternoon routines are finished including newly added cross stitch time. Only 23 minutes whilst dinner was cooking but still pleased.
I just ate dinner and put dishes in sink to steep will chill before working on evening routine as "he" cant decide if going out or not.
Will try update later and will update here if I do if not fill you in tomorrow once sort morning out :-)
Hey guys I'm back he did go out so I sat chatting on Facebook an online game of bingo on a group I'm on and downloaded android app dragon story.
Even though I am setting that up I still done dishes, shined sink, cleared hotspots, layed out clothes, closed curtains and got ready for bed. Evening routine is full completed after do my journal (straight after here). One load or washing away other still in washer as partner switched off at plug only realised when went to put in the dryer. Ah well not bad.
Had a very up and down day emotionally and other than routines not much else done but with how bad my back is I have come to bed feeling good that I managed my routines. All of them. In some way or another.
No matter how bad felt or how long it took I got there. Heres hoping can say the same tomorrow.
