The ALL-YEAR-ROUND job of DECLUTTERING and CLEANING our homes is daunting. Especially for those of us who HOARD, or struggle with depression, and decisions, anxiety & other MI. I'm so challenged in this way so reaching out for support. Maybe start an Declutterers Army 💪

Rest up @Former-Member - best to listen to what your body needs. Good nutrition, exercise, meditation, the less stress the better. I don't have a lot of faith in doctors either. I need to look for a decent one too but have put it off.
Hope you get to see your son soon. I messaged mine earlier in the week suggesting a get together. He agreed to it. Sent him another message last night but am still waiting for a reply. Such is life.
Hope those birdies of yours have healing powers in their singing. 🎶🐦🎶🐦🎶🐦❤️❤️❤️🍵

Hi @Former-Member
De-cluttering is more productive than sitting through the SADs - but just as we have to deal with life while sitting through winter- we need to take time out during de-cluttering
I love the cast - I love seeing the pretty colours on casts - one of my grandsons (step) - has managed to break a leg at least twice - I revealed my immature moments by insisting on signing it and writing some kind of x-rated comments - he was a teenage Dad at the time -
If the yellow vision recurs then you had better see your doctor about it but pressure can cause yellow shades in the vision and I can get it during this time of year - all the gunk that builds up in anyone's eyes with allergies - that is yellow and I have blurred my vision with it
De-clutter with breaks Lapses

Declutter with breaks
@Owlunar, 😮 yeah, right, lol, I got puffed just stacking empty cardboard boxes 😞 But shouldn't give up I guess 😏
1230 & only just ate breakfast, one salmon on toast for my pills. My temp is 37.6° and my muscles hurt. Must thaw out my magic soup. How's your knee today?
My son just tx copy of his x-rays, interesting

Thanks @Former-Member ..... yeah, I'm doing okay.
Bit of a non-committed Saturday here, and the weather is on and off rainy. Might get myself out for a foot massage if I can. Playing it by ear at the moment.
💜

Ouch @Former-Member - that break looks nasty. Hope he had travel insurance. Glad that your temperature has lowered. You will still need to take it easy for a while. Could it be allergy because of all the cleaning up you are doing? Dust mites, mould etc. can cause breathing difficulties.
I had a wonderful time at the markets and picked up some yummy berries,veges, a sand crab lasagne that we'll have when my son comes over for dinner and even some dog treats. It's quite warm out. Will head out to yoga soon.
