I did it!
I have de-trashed my entire room. This is how bad it was: I found pharmacy receipts from MARCH. Yeah. That's really really bad.
I'm going to take a break, rest my back, and knit while watching tv for a while.
Later: organization of books and papers. Then maybe laundry.
Still, PROGRESS.
Craig is amazed and thus screaming. My mother had the same face when I cleaned before. "Who are you and what have you done with Emily?" is what Sis said.
Now, if the energy (and, if I'm being honest with myself, hypomania) lasts for a while, I'll try to tackle some of the many boxes in the kitchen. A surprise for Mom. Though I think cleaning the upstairs landing would be a good start. We'll see how I hold up.
I'm so weirded out that I'm now most energetic in the morning. This is odd since I used to be able to firmly say that I am most effective in the evening/nighttime. Now, I tend to wake up about 8. I think it's left over from having to wake up at about 7 every morning when I was in the hospital. However, my new morning personality clashes with Mom's schedule and Sis's tendency to sleep a lot. Once Mom moves back into her room, then the morning movement won't bother her anymore, which will be GREAT.
Off to make a sammich. Yum.
