SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Aw cripes @Former-Member

that is a huge day - and about your Mum - that sounds really serious - so glad you checked in an told us what's happening

Your poor Dad - I gather he is more agreeable and helping him would have to be hard work physically - and emotionally too because he is so frail and as you say - glacial

It's a huge ask - a huge job - I'm running out of words here - like tremendous, massive, I think you get it that I have a vague idea

I think you were a nurse - so you would have a better idea about personal care though - and very personal with it being your parents

Massive Lapses - thinking about you sis

Hi @soul

🙋 🙋 🙋

Thanks @soul & @Owlunar & all those lighting candles. Nearly 3am and I can't sleep still - brain racing - I've tried a few techniques, stretches... but no help, especially my neck. might need pain meds to get to sleep soon.

Sorry, faveplanting - have to go

5am Awake again - Got a couple hours sleep. Have pain in neck (spine) & headaches. Just took some pills, pain & allergy. Have runny nose. Debating if to stay up. Dad's awake too - sitting up. He has had TV on all night. Worried about mum I guess. So much to do here I'm in shock. Have snobby aunty travelling interstate for o/n stay 😱 Pressure to clean up now! Yikes!! 😦

I WISH!

Hope you got some rest @Former-Member. Saw you were awake in the early hours of the morning. Don’t burn yourself out. Take care. So much going on for you.

Wishing you lots of strength. 💕👋🏼

Aw @Former-Member

This is chaos - please put yourself first when you have the chance to plan the day - this way you will have more to give

Let snobby aunt tidy if she feels the pain of the untidy place - it's not your place either - it's your mother's place -

And I wish my place was tidier too - you remember Samantha from Bewitched who actually did housework when she cound just twitch her know - like she CHOOSE TO - silly woman

I wish I could do some nose-twitching for both of us - I hope your Dad is okay

I had better get ready for my domestic help - I don't feel like it - getting ready - it's Too Early for me

All the best Lapses - thinking of you

Love the pics - I so wish that could happen in my kitchen

Hi @Former-Member - how was your day? I hope that you took it a bit easier. How’s things with your Mum? I hope those rellies are behaving themselves.

Thinking of you. Missing your birdies? Mine here is moulting so with that and the pooch having a really short hair cut, they both look a bit weird.

Hi friend family💜. My concentration is down, but i just have to say thanks for being here.

In between transporting, visiting mum and taking several heavy calls & catchups...

Even spoke to bigbrother (unrepentant offender) yesterday & maybe see my sister today (first time in 6yrs, but fatigue keeps lid on the raging anxiety for both of those issues, I am broken, and know what Gal2:20 really means now "no longer I that liveth" What I'm achieving here is beyond / more than me, who I am.

I did DECLUTTER parents fridge 😵😥 buckets full of rotten, mouldy and out of date... Pretty discusting. Have yet to go back & scrub it all. Need supplies - gloves, mask, big garbage bags, comfe shoes... Had to to fish out a floater - a big dead rat from the outside toot yesterday yuk. Couldnt believe my eyes - Still squirming over that. Lost car keys at hospital yesterday - stress! But thank goodness someone handed them in at counter - I was so overjoyed I burst into brief Hallelujah chorus, got a fewclooks, oh well, so what if I'm seen & look like "nut job" (my bro2 says) don't care, too many tired lol

Have visitors today so hope to CLEAR THE TABLE (hi @utopia, how ya doing with yours? ), @and need to make lounge room more presentable & less smelly this AM. The lounge throws are filthy - need washing and the floor - OMG! Mums room is a priority while she's in hospital. WARDROBE CULL. She still has clothes in there 3sizes too big. Couldn't even find an underwear drawer yesterdsy, found some on clothesline. Poor mum. Its just horrible.

Dog is freaking out (5am) - I have to go. May as well get up. Oh no, it hurts to stand, not just the joints but chose the wrong shoes to wear - broken blisters, two were ble#ding yesterday 😞

Gotta go shut this dog up. Take headache pill, make a cuppa.

I can hear the birds - morning song today, even in the big smoke of Sydney 🙂

Ooo, ooo, have to tell you, my friend tx me last night to say my 4 finches are now 6 😮 Thought I heard hungry feeding babies. Cant wait to see them again.

Ooo ooo, Also, my son landed a big client this week (re his new business yesterday). I'm So proud of him.

Will talk about mum & dad issues, my caring role, more on carers side side of forum. I'm struggling being in touch with emotions, what i feel, but my body is screaming so need to get on top things.

Bye for now

Special 💜 to @Appleblossom, @Adge today.

And hi there 💜 @Faith-and-Hope

@Owlunar, @soul. @Former-Member And all those who care
