totchipandaYesterday I had a therapy appointment, and we talked about vacuuming. It sounds silly, because we really did discuss it a fair amount, but it wasn't entire about vacuuming. It was about breaking cycles and what to do when you feel stuck. It started with me still pondering a new job and is it "wasted effort" if I end up moving east in a few years, and moved into house chores of which vacuuming is the number one "if I did this my place would look and be cleaner. It ended with how being stuck in the cycle guarantees nothing will happen and how do we take steps to move past that.
So I grumbled and dragged my feet, but when I got home I picked up most of the objects in the hallway and then vacuumed it and as far into the living and bedrooms as I could reach. OK FINE YES IT WORKED I do feel better about having taken that step towards a cleaner house. Ugh why does doing a thing for our stupid mental health usually WORK.
I am on a stay-cation next week, woohoo! Aside from taking M to and from the airport, I have no major plans. I want to do chores and a day of laundry, but also things that are fun! I really ought to get some sewing projects lined up so that I'm not scrambling when it comes time to stitch. There's always the cross stitch too. The 100 day project wraps up on Monday or Tuesday, and I haven't made nearly as much progress as I wanted. I should read some audio books while doing said fun things. I have review copies to read.
In a little under an hour from this posting I will be headed out for the follow up to my IUD insertion.
