Day 29

Saturday, September 20, 2014

I find it confusing and frustrating when plans keep getting changed.  I don’t get much “input”, I’m just told this or that will or won’t happen.

However, I did decide I did not want to go out at all.  There have been too many “outings” .. not that they’re all bad, and some were necessary.  But I really want to finish getting things organized!  One of the things discussed with the SW was the need for organization.  I’ve been slowly working towards that goal for years; it is even more important that I get much closer to it while I’m able.  I know my vision will continue to deteriorate .. I need to be able to cope as it fades.  So, I put in several intensive hours of work in my room.  And, as always when a project is mid way … the room is a disaster!

By early afternoon I had reached a stopping point .. just too tired and achy to continue for awhile.  I got showered and then rested until mid afternoon.  The BF came by, and gave me a ride to storage.  He and DN helped me take the accumulated boxes to his truck … they stood at the bottom of the steps and ferried them to the truck while I carried them down the stairs.  It’s a good thing his truck filled up, because I reached a point I could not make it up those steps one more time!  It was easy though getting them stowed on shelves; and I brought back more of the fall decorations (still have to hunt down the rest of the Halloween ones).

As soon as we got back I got supper started (my turn).  I fixed oven fried chicken, so once it was in the oven I could just go put my feet up!!  Supper turned out good

Right after supper DN and BF left, and I had the rest of the evening to myself.  I would really have liked to keep working on this room, and some other areas.  But I was just past my breaking point, I couldn’t do it.

DN and BF will be back sometime this evening.  I don’t have any clue what time, but she said she’ll be doing dinner tonight.  The lady who did my taxes said she’d try to come sometime today; but that will probably depend on TGF, if she has other plans or whatever.  And I don’t have a time frame other than it’s highly unlikely to be very early.  Hopefully I’ll have enough energy and time to get my room in order, get the kitchen cleaned (DN took one bag of trash down with her, and didn’t take the bag that has sat there 2 days since she’d said she would .. so I’ll need to take that before it gets stinky); and do some general straightening.  How does it get so cluttered so quickly??  Or maybe the better question is why do I care?  I just cleaned (although I’m already finding places that let me know I didn’t do a good job).  It seems every single day I’m going around picking up stuff … but I don’t know why it even bothers me if it doesn’t bother DN.  Oh well, either I pick up or learn to ignore it.

It’s time to get myself busy while I can!
