I woke early going straight for a toilet break, washed my hands and took my morning meds. I'm HOME alone as my Husband is on an errand where he will pick up our Granddaughter who went to the NATIONAL JUNIOR OLYMPICS in Oregon. She did so well. Watched her compete on the computer. She ran so well.
She'll stay a couple of days with us and then return to her normal routine of being a 16 year old entering into her Junior year of High School. She said she'd help me with packing. What a GOD SEND. I can sit upstairs instructing and watching as she carries boxes down stairs to stack taking to storage. Her and GRAMPS can go to the storage building and unload the goods. Perhaps by this week-end the upstairs bedrooms and the junque room will be completely emptied. That would be a relief to where I can go ahhhhh.
The CARRIAGE HOUSE and the basement still need attention. The month of AUGUST will fly right on by. Hubby has some projects to complete that I can do so little on except to cheer him on and tell him, "GOOD BOY!" "You're a good man, Charlie Brown." "PACE YO SELF!!!" "Take a break."
He has so much energy, it hurts. When he gets geared up, I have to stand back and watch him go. The ceiling fan in the screened in porch needs hooked up and a light installed. The screen on one unit of the window needs replaced as one of the doors does. Some touch up paint needed on the floor as it got scratched with all the moving we have done.
Outside on the window trim needs replaced and around the front door also. The porch lights need a quick paint job to freshen them up.
The Kitchen porch needs a screen repair.
Some touch up on the outside window frames could use some paint.
The upstairs junque room needs the wood slates we've had for a couple of years be laid down.
The upstairs hallway will get a chair well.
The entryway tile will be replaced with tile we bought a couple of years ago. Some painting completed.
Then the house should be in good repair and ready to market. What an adventure.
We will settle in at the COTTAGE amongst the boxes and start to unpack and live there. I have so many mixed emotions about all of this. My number one focus is for my husband and I to be in better health physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually. We will have downscaled and I pray we do well. The adrenaline starts pumping and it's not so easy to relax.
I walked this morning before it rained. I'll walked again in the late evening if I can. Eating a mixed salad where I added a can of three bean salad. Sipping my water and will have chocolate tea in the evening to help curb my appetite.
We ordered more Chocolate Tea as the first batch hooked me into being a fan. It didn't take long for it to arrive. Wonderful to be able to have products delivered right to the front door instead of getting out in the concrete jungle amongst people in a rage. I enjoy getting out of the house and shopping, but sometime the traveling to the stores is a bit much when so many peeps do not have the same disposition I do. I drive slower than the average bear and so many despise a safe driver. Makes their blood boil and tempers flare. I do pray for guardian angels.
I also ordered some supplements from MERCOLA MARKET which is associated with Dr. Joseph Mercola. I ordered Vitamin D3 with K2, Liposomal Vitamin C and Zinc with Selenium. A 90 day supply should get us into AUTUMN feeling better.
TWELVE DAYS out from when I had surgery. Healing well. The bikini cut is relatively large as it had to be to remove the giant uterus I was carrying around with me. 20 cm verses an average uterus being 8 cm. The weight it was placing on my bladder was causing fregrant bathroom breaks. More than I can count. This has let up some. I also was having side pressure that didn't hurt, but wasn't comfortable. That has let up. My bowels are moving well and I'm sleeping well. I can walk upright for now and I'm not coughing as often. I have hopes of improving even more after the 6 to 8 weeks of recovery has passed.
I mustn't rush my healing. I must be a good PATIENT that's patient. haha. A play on words.
I can't spend all my waking hours on the computer. My mom brought me a pile of magazines to thumb through while I sit. When I think of it, I go upstairs to drop small items in cardboard boxes so they can be removed from the house. Nothing heavy. Climbing the stairs has to be good physical therapy for me. This week, I hope all the closets upstairs are emptied including the linen closet and hallway closet. All the bedrooms are empty. A little here and a little there is about all I can do right now and I have to be alright with it.
I have time to think about LIFESTYLE changes that can take place in my little corner of the world. Lifestyle changes in clothing. Moving away from polyester items. More cotton and linen. Grooming products more natural. Food more organic. Decorating less complicated and uncluttered. Even if the room is small there will be less clutter. Less everything and I think I will LOVE IT. More order and simplicity.
