Today I:
Cleaned out my car (maintainence only) by taking in my shopping bags, son's jacket, and throwing out the trash.
When I got in with my shopping bags, I put each item where it goes. It wasn't even hard! Why did I always used to shop and drop? There are so many things even now sitting on the floor that were just bought, left, and never used. Things I thought I needed immediately.
I maintained my bedroom (five super easy minutes)
I started some cleaning work on my kitchen, I cleaned up a few trash items on the counter, picked up a few items on the floor, and then I got scared. I was worried I wouldn't be able to maintain the kitchen, and I didn't want to have bad feelings so early into my recovery. So I let it go, and moved on for now. I know I will come back to it soon. (especially since landlord is coming in 10/22!)
It is nice to have easy successes instead of very difficult painful failures! I feel things are changing for the better, and for the rest of my life.

Good going blackswan! Is this a free for all? Today I: Vacuumed the loungeroom Found my long overdue (about a year) library books and took them back...  Bagged and cashed in my loose change I've been collecting from around the house for a couple of years. $635.00  Exchanged foreign currency from our tip to New Zealand a couple of months ago. Went to the concierge desk at the shops and enquired if there was any money left on the gift cards that I found around the house (I was expecting one of them to have about 2 dollars, and the other one to be empty....) $75 on the "empty" one and $25 on the "$2" one... fricken BONUS!!!  Glad I didn't throw them out like I was planning to.  And that's about it so far. Bagging the coins took up a few hours, and wandering around the shops took a while. Going to the library, well, you know what that's like  I'm feeling rich today! Woohoo! |

 Great job blackswan keep doing what you can and don't worry yet about maintenance. One day or task at a time. Udderchaos, $635 wow what a bonus enough to really make a difference somehow!! I am so grateful that people here keep giving me new ideas and challenges.
