Not sure if it's actually helping yet...
but I got much more done yesterday than I have on any given Sunday in a long time. To whit:
• Changed the sheets on my bed
• Did laundry
• Took out 2 big bags and 2 small bags of trash
• Prepped my DCDD entries for the next week
• Made moussaka for dinner
It doesn't sound like a lot, but for me it is. Most weekends I get close to nothing done, then try to shoehorn it in during the week, more often blowing it off. When I don't and do it after work during the week, I feel exhausted and irritable. I end up feeling like I have no spoons the next day. Which all makes me feel more stressed and anxious. Trying to reduce anxiety, dammit! However, getting all that done made me feel very, very good. Not sure if it was the increased meds or not, but whatever it can be attributed to, it's a good thing.
Started reading a book for one of the meetup groups I joined. It's The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver. Not something I'd normally pick up on my own, but that's part of doing this, breaking out of my comfort zone and trying new things. I rented it from my library through a Kindle app called OverDrive. We'll see if I finish it before it expires!
Short and sweet, today. Maybe my posts won't be so goddamn long if I post more frequently. I'm sure my friendslist would appreciate that. ;}
