I was extremely lazy today, didn't really do anything but watch tv, play on the computer, and get my brother a birthday gift. It felt wonderful, lol. My stomach started hurting again, but I figure that's probably going to be a fact of life for a while, so I'm going to try and call the VA tomorrow again and see if they can't get me in anytime soon.
Also, I was looking around my apartment, and it's a pigsty. I can really understand the state of my dad's apartment when I went to visit after his heart attack. At the time I wondered how he had let his place get so horrible, but I realize it was because he felt so bad that he just didn't have the energy to clean. It makes me feel really good that I managed to help clean his place up so he had a fresh start.
I fully plan on cleaning the next few days, dividing the days into two rooms, the kitchen and living room, and the kitty room and the bathroom. My bedroom is actually pretty tidy, lol. It's good exercise, too! The hard part is going to be the kitty room. Both cats have peed on the carpet, and I am going to have to scrub and scrub and get that smell out. Yuck! I ran out of the odor eliminator, so hopefully the new stuff will work out. I love my boys, but good Gods, they can be a pain in the ass.
So, in order to keep myself organized, here's my to do list:
Scrub sink, bathtub, toilet. Sweep bathroom floor, clean mirrors.
Vacuum kitty room, change litter, scrub carpet.
Do dishes, wipe down counter and oven top, scrub sink. Sweep floor. Take out garbage.
Dust, vacuum and tidy.
I'm feeling a lot better emotionally. I think it was just being sick for so long, and my period, and just being overwhelmed. But I'm going to put on a funny movie tonight, dance a little to some music, and try and feel good about what I'm doing and what I'm going to do. I think I have to look at my stomach pain the same way I do my back pain. It's a part of my life for right now, and so long as I'm not doubled over in pain, I just have to do the best I can, try to exercise until I can't anymore, and take care of myself.
Hope you all are having a good day and are safe and warm. Take care of yourselves!
