My SIL and daughter are out for the day. She has a doctor's appointment and a therapist's appointment today.. and they are going to the house to finish painting in between appointments.
I am here with back pain, but I need to get busy. I took my morning meds along with a pain med and the pain has subsided now. I have the dishes soaking, and now I think I will go through my chest of drawers and neatly fold everything there so that when we move the drawers they will not be messy.
I'm not very good at thinking things through anymore due to my brain disorder. I have a fractured personality disorder that I'm having to see a shrink about... my family doc is sending me because she says I need more help than she can give.
So what should I do next. You aren't with me to see what needs to be done.. but since I can't do any real strenuous stuff I am at a loss on what to do. I guess I can sweep and mop the kitchen floor because Rosie does have accidents sometimes on it. I mop about twice a week and more if she happens to have an accident.
What can I do to get ready for this move... besides staying out of the way..

Do you have things to pack like books or pictures from the wall of your room? Things that you won't need between now and when you get settled? Like you said, we're not there to see what needs to be done, so that was just a shot in the dark!

hi dear PQ its a little after midnight here and I am again making good use of the long weekend. LOL.
I thought that you will suffer a lot of back pain cause you are doing the heavy work of packing and unpacking and mainly cleaning.
I am so glad that now, 4 days later, you have come a long way with getting into the new house and I really hope you have more personal space there and are much happier than in the old place.

Hi Rittersport. I sent you some pictures to see what has been done in the house so far. we are getting some order to it now. Yes, i'm hurting really badly. I'm waiting for K and S to get back with their final load for tonight... there are bags of laundry and stuff from closets and stuff yet to come... I don't know where my comforter is. I hope K finds it and brings it to me.. I have no sheets or blanket to sleep with.. I found my pillows...lol.
When they get back I will go take a shower and get ready for bed.. even if i have to sleep on a bare mattress.. I'm so tired and hurt so bad that I don't even care.

Make lists of what others suggest. Since he is so anal about the dust, I guess you could dust, as that is lighter work than sweeping and mopping. Getting those drawers organized is a good deal. If the drawers and stuff in the kitchen need sorted you could do that. I am thinking anything you can sit down and still do would be good.

That's a good idea. I can do the drawers in the kitchen cabinets. I will do that tomorrow. Thanks. I need to clean out the refrigerator.. it will stay here when we move, but I want to keep it clean for when we leave.

well you pictures on the wall, your bedclothes, your closet empty it completely. Just wear what you need to for the week. Back your books away and anything you can live without for a week.

Everything is packed away in my room.. stuff like that. There are lots of nick nacks on the living room floor in boxes that belong in the curio cabinets. Those are k's and S's. K said for me to just handle my room and the kitchen and she would handle the rest. So that's a weight off my shoulders.
