I'm getting sore from physical stuff, I've been hammering and prying a cabinet apart in the basement. Today is a phone call day so I will have lunch and then move the laundry to the dryer before my call.

Thank you everyone who is celebrating with me. I think I am in ... not sure what. For so long I had a goal and now it is complete yet I have months and months of dealing and healing with the side effects from the treatment. I think I am lost and kinda a little angry I still have to clean things up. Crazy huh?
I've done nothing but take my meds and eat badly.

peaceseeker you are still here with us that is the most important thing. The cleaning of stuff and eating better you can restart (slowly as you feel able). I know about feeling angry about my house being in a disorder i am so sick and tired of cleaning cleaning cleaning and telling myself - I will start to cook at home, paint, sew, etc once I get the house under control. Because all of those items make messes and I can’t deal with adding to my pile but I never seem to get to the things i want and need to do as I am constantly just battling to have a sort of decent living space which is usually pfffft and not able to really open door with pride.

Hello PS, TML, and TT!
PS, you will slowly come back--your world stopped there for a while, it's not surprising that it takes some time to refocus.
I had my long phone call and had dinner--I still have almost 2 hours before I have to get ready for bed, so I'm going to go down to get the dry laundry, and then work in the basement for a little while. I'm actually enjoying taking apart the cabinet!

good evening, everypony!
oust I am in the market for a new (el cheapo) stick vac. do you like yours?
Reorganised stuffed animals on to new shelf risers - they are one thing in life I will never declutter and they really did need organising to not taken over the space
I can relate, reve ! I need to buy some doll shelves. fortunately the dolls are very light and I can stick the shelves up with command hooks.
My brain is full of cotton wool. body is not ready to go off the low histamine plan yet. plus I was up until 2:00 am and slept until 3:00 pm. I hope I am caught up.
DONE: made "dirty" coffee--need to put it away and use the clean stuff cat care checked online balance checked email checked calendar checked notifications
THREE GOALS which is (are?) no doubt too many but a girl can dream: 1) inner meeting 2) clean tub and bathroom 3) make space for new cat tree
DVD just arrived, ack!

<3 peaceseeker. You're the most important thing right now and if you need some decompression, that's only natural and understandable!
Done: Ran dishwasher Achieve dining table zero Spent 40 minutes in the master bathroom. Everything in the unit of trays is organised, mostly in baskets for things that will fit I tested several more things and threw out some Filled half a a trash bag Wiped down the top half of the unit (I think doing a big clean of it in the bath is a good idea at some point) I set out my bath toiletries in a tiny tray I bought recently in attempt at the container method - only having out what can fit in that. I realised there are 3 things that need to be out beyond that, but will move to reduce those in coming months

Cross posted with you there! Shelves that go up with command hooks sound great - we are terrified of drilling into walls! There's an area of our bedroom that is really wasted space. It's under a sloping ceiling so not very functional, particularly for two tall people. It was where all my various boxes were piled for a long time, though I've emptied all of those and just need to finish relocating vacuum packed clothes. I'm wondering about measuring it up and getting a nice little low IKEA cube unit - or two, one on each wall - for my collection. I think it's the only way I would ever get dresser space again! (And let's not comment on all the shelves in the spare bedroom....)

Scholar, if any of your dolls are breakable I wouldn't rely on Command hooks, I have had them fail even though I think I put them up correctly. I'm sure they're fine for unbreakables.
I will have to get ready for bed soon, but I have to do my challenge report first.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!
Diane
