BLESSED MONDAY. Today, I have been up and about tidying our MASTER BEDROOM. A spurt of energy is taking place. I have these ever so often which the next day not being so perky. Have to PACE myself when I feel full of energy.
I am tidying the Master Bedroom. Made the bed with a smile on my face as I am appreciating our new bedding that came in the mail last week. A box here and a box there until all the items were accounted for. Piecing it together. Makes my heart sing zing. I hope to have moved all the extra things that don't need to be in the room.
An oversize Longaberger Basket filled with old papers that needs gone through was sitting on the floor. I moved it out to be beside my comfy recliner in the Living room so when I go through all the papers my back is supported when I work through this mess in a faster pace. If my back is supported I will be better off working in comfort.
It seems that I have difficulty keeping the Master Bedroom just a Master Bedroom to sleep in comfortably. GOAL this week is to have this room completely tidied and dusted. I believe I can do this. Here I go.
This morning, I am gathering items to turn loose of. That purging sensation needs to hit me hard as I am in need of decluttering. Autumn is on her colorful way and I am actually looking forward to this SEASON this year as I want to LIVE LIFE to the fullest as best I can.
Prepping for my annual thyroid appointment in a few weeks. Loads of questions to ask that I have not over the last 9 years of having had a cancerous thyroid removed. Partly because I did not know what to ask and partly because I did not want to be flagged as a problem patient that requires too much energy to manage. This go round I will gently ask the questions I really want an answer to. I won't be challenging the medical staff, but will listen to their answers and be contented as I sit in their office chair resembling a contented patient that will walk out of their office in the know or in the now. This is a very challenging journey to be on when I feel so awful so much of the time and when I did ask or make a comment about how I was feeling I got the run around and pass the buck syndrome. This go round I will ask questions that are backed by their beloved AMERICAN THYROID ASSOCIATION web sight.
SO between tidying the Master Bedroom, gathering items to turn loose of and prepping for my thyroid appointment...I am spinning my wheels and then some. Like a three ring circus.
Tonight's Supper was partially prepared last night as left over spaghetti was baking. Italian Chicken baked at the same time. Warming the chicken tonight with some veggies will make a decent meal for us. Easy clean-up.
I went down memory lane last night as I went through some old pictures that I had forgot about that were still the trunk of one of our cars. I will make copies of some of these pics as they are priceless. Many I had not seen before of my Mom as a young girl. I had only seen a few pics of her before, but these pics are priceless of when she and Dad were dating and then married. Pics of her as a adolescent with her sisters. There are a few of my Dad as a young man in his early twenties. Grandparents as young adults on both sides of the family.
Very enjoyable looking at these pictures, but when I saw pics of my children as youngsters I cried. Where does the time go? It goes. A few pics of myself and Hubby as young parents. PAUSE. Time doesn't stop just because I want it to, but when looking at old pictures it's like TIME STOPPED just for a minute and a half.
I must work fast at HOME getting our estate in order in maintenance mode. I don't want to be overwhelmed about this. It is important to me to get this accomplished. Retirement is inching along and having old papers gone through is a must.
I'll take a COFFEE BREAK after the Bedroom is tidied. Then move onto the next thing I hope to get done today.
Have a gentle day,
d
