Yesterday...

I talked about the flies, and yes, they are still making absolutely crazy. However, because of them, I started working on my "mountain." Now, I have a problem. This is one I seemed have had my life. Not as bad as some... but not good. It does move close to, and maybe into, a hoarding situation. So, yesterday I was looking for something and everytime I moved I got the wheels of my chair mixed up in something in the mountain. I was finally done. It was after 6, but not after 7. I had taken most of a roll of white trash bags into my room for my trash (don't worry, there was plenty more if they needed them) and in probably 30 minutes I had filled 2 of them. Not stuffed, but as heavy as I could lift. I had clothes I had bought because I really had nearly nothing - 1 pair of jeans and a pair of shorts. I had shirts. 'Oh, look! Doctor Who, I bet she'd like it.' and trust me, my friends know my obsessions. So, I put all the new, but not yet wore, clothes in bags and set them aside to hang up. I had 2 shirts, one fit okay, but I hated the fabric, and the other a 3S that fit more like a largest 1X maybe a 2X but it didn't fit me. It would ride up on the back side... It needed order, again. It needed the floor swept, again. It needed some decisions, because I do most my writing on a computer these days, do I really think I'm going to fill up those writing pads? So, I now have some stuff in the back of the car to go to Goodwill. I have hung up all those things, both some shirts and some pants. And it is a good thing because on the last fall I put a hole in my jeans that fit... If I can be sure I have some jeans, besides the purple ones, that fit, I may turn those into shorts because I know they fit. I do have some shorts that used to fit that I need to check. I have been losing weight. Am I trying to? Not really, but also not upset about it... I don't have the energy to do everything at once. I'm nearing the end of what I have, but I do see one thing I'd like to still do. Oh, I made a deal with the roommate. There is no reason for us to take the wheelchair with us to the dialysis clinic, they have 'spares' there. I can roll her out if she needs to do so, then get one of their chairs to take her in. I just take our chair back in the house and lock up. Same thing in reverse. I'm just so pleased with myself! I hope you guys have had a special holiday! So, what are your plans for the holiday?

I looked through all my clothes a few days ago. I've dropped another waist size in my pants so needed to sort out what fits and what doesn't. Shirts are also sorted again now. We're just locking up the house and staying inside while the looney neighbors on our street fill the air with chemical smoke that breaks me out in hives. I have epi-pens at the ready, just in case. Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!
