Rather frustrated.
Busy day ahead of me, but I'm going to try to stay focused on downstairs and not worry about the upstairs just yet. I just wish I could get on top of things. I feel like my entire life is a battle to just keep basic tidiness in effect. I hate my ineptitude. And it's not that I don't have the desire or don't try, because I really do. I hate living in a mess, yet my brain seems to have some connections missing or something as to how to get *rid* of the mess and keep it that way.
Need to make blueberry muffins. Going to try a batch with Rumford baking powder (that has no aluminum) and a second batch with a baking soda/cream of tartar substitute. We'll see how they turn out.
Dan wanted to try the homemade laundry soap Steve and Laura did, so we got all the stuff for it last night and brought it home and then I got a whiff of the Fels Naptha soap and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to handle that. I told him we should try a very small batch first and see whether the smell lasts through washing and if not whether vinegar will take it out. So, we'll give that a whirl on Sunday.
I really just want to go back to bed. This whole week I've felt like I've been in a bit of a daze. Hard to get up in the morning and hard to stay focused on my tasks. Blah. I can't even read more than a couple pages before my mind starts wandering and I realise I've turned pages without having any idea what I just read.
Pray for me. I need it today. Let's just hope I can conveniently time my meltdown well in advance of Bible study tonight.
