I'm trying to take a bit of concrete action today in an effort to help pull myself up out of this current pit of depression and general crapness. Here's what I've done:
1. Purchased a new kind of light bulbs for the living room and kitchen because living in a cave isn't going to help me.
2. Forced myself to walk and drink extra water to give myself a lift.
And...
#3 is big. I've started interviewing for a cleaning lady. I can't do this house by myself, my family isn't going to change and I really hate mess. It's only a few hours a week, but it will help.

This is good! I've been trying to drink more water too. And I think #3 is huge! I know how hard it is for you to do this...having someone in your house -but I think it will be good in the long run. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you found a good cleaning lady.
ReplyDeleteI have one, though I clean before she arrives, particularly the bathrooms. No-one should have to clean my crap lol!
You crack me up, K!! Bathrooms can get gross pretty fast, eh? The 'cleaning lady' turned out to be a husband and wife team. They come Monday evening. I hope I am going to be okay with having strangers in my space. Things like that are very difficult for me and I have been thinking about it a lot. I have promised myself that I will NOT cancel. I really need the help and maybe I am ready to let people into my private space. This always feels scary to me, but I have to try. I'm telling myself that it is not the same thing as calling an electrician or a plumber (scary) because these will be the same individuals showing up every single week. My hope is that soon they will not feel like strangers and having them here will not feel like a necessary evil.
