Thanks for all the encouragement and suggestions. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours straightening, organizing and trashing things in the kitchen and half bathroom. I filled a trash bag with expired food and medication. Then I gathered the magazines and coupons that have been gathering dust and recycled them. It isn’t a lot but if I do that amount each day it will add up to a good amount. Actual cleaning will start eventually.
Then I treated myself to an hour of uninterrupted knitting. The shawl is getting larger and the ball of yarn finally looks smaller. I’ve completed 6 of the 8 yarn over rows and have about 400 stitches on the needle. There are about 30 more rows. The going is slow but I’m beginning to feel like I’ll get there. But isn’t it that way with everything.
Slow but sure,keep going do some every day🕊🦉😀🌸💐well done👍

I was laid up in bed for two days this week, so no housework was done. Of course, this coincided with a friend coming over to paint our house. Every time a piece of furniture was moved, clouds of dust and Razz bunnies came wafting out. The worst part was that I couldn’t even get up to do anything about it. I wanted to die!
