Congrats on claiming disability hon. That’s a really positive thing to do (even though the process can be so terribly depressing).

And yay for no more carpets!

Your house is much cleaner than mine! I need to set up a schedule too. Really I do. Feel better soon!

Good for you! It’s about time.}:) I know it’s not something you WANT to do, but it is something you NEED to do, re disability.

@CB That’s about what I used to do, back in the day; I also spent at least 30 minutes, usually 60 or more, in the kitchen. I realize that between my anxiety and my pain, I simply got out of the habit and things got SO overwhelming that I don’t know how to get back into it. It occurred to me today that the only cure for it is to start again.

I hate starting again. But ‘persistent starting’ is the key. I knew that. :p

@Wolf Carpet is going once the accountant has his way with our taxes. I am finally caving and filling out the disability papers. When we get the money back from that, I will be able to have all the carpeting in the house removed and flooring put in.

Of course, I will probably promptly put area rugs down in a few places, but what the hell. Those, I can just throw out if they’re an issue.

Claiming disability is going to be hard. But, pride isn’t helping me out here.

Get rid of the carpet.}:P Solves THAT issue.

Win the lotto and hire a maid service. Solves THAT issue.

I know, I know, but we all must have our dreams, yes? }:P

My routine, for about a month now, is an hour of housework every day: it’s enough that I can see incrimental progress, and that makes me happier. Not that I’m in any danger of being a good housewife, but it has made a marked difference in quality of life issues — and you do so save money when you can actually find things and don’t have to replace them.
