Thanks @Oaktree I cheated I took half my meds last night and am less sedated lol! Really got my mojo on today. The sweet potato bites are in the oven. Looking at earrings at online Salvos Stores under the inspo of @Meowmy

@Oaktree my sweet potato bites are now out of the oven and are firming up in the fridge. Now I got to pull my bread out of the breadmaker and slice it.

A loaf of bread I cooked is now sliced and in the freezer. Are you with me @Oaktree @NatureLover? lol Still going! Got to bring in washing soon! 😎 Did you get what you wanted done today @NatureLover? We can do this!!!

[Oaktree]

Your cooking looks great @SmilingGecko 

I am taking a break and watching ‘Old People’s Home for 4 year olds on Netflix.

Aww, thank you for your encouragement, @SmilingGecko  and everyone! And the bread looks yummy 🙂

I've only done 1.5 hours work and am having a lie down. Only 15 minutes so far on the kitchen! 😣 I also did 2 laundry washes and 2 dryer loads, but I'm not counting them as that's regular maintenance stuff. 

Struggling...

Well done to you @SmilingGecko  and also @Oaktree for your achievements!

Strike it off as a win. 1.5 hours is a lot to some people, I know it was for me when I lived with chronic fatigue so I understand @NatureLover You got 2 loads of laundry done which is your quota for a week.  Don't compare yourself to others we all have our own unique capacities. Just bit by bit each day within your ability to do so.

I found out a lot of these psych meds affect mitochondria which are the energy centres of the body. So just be patient with yourself and tolerant. Its hard living up to other peoples standards about how we should keep a house. Do what you can and if you struggle just be kind to yourself and no negative self talk OK?

Just caught up on all your doings @NatureLover @Oaktree @SmilingGecko @TAB @Shaz51 

I'm incredibly impressed by your household efforts and your teamwork... it's really heart-warming.  Well done team!!!

I only did 3/4 hr today (chores and a spot of weeding), but later walked to the supermarket and back with my shopping jeep. But what you've all done today is inspirational. Thankyou. I haven't been too well for a while but am trying to address my issues - including seeing a new psychologist and scheduling an upcoming MRI - and will definitely work at refinding my cleaning and decluttering mojo.

5 days @NatureLover ? You can do it! You're off to a good start.

Hmm... in 5 days I might be able to sort enough stuff for a trip to the opshop.

Thanks @Dimity. 3/4 hour is ok, its an achievement! I'm planning on getting out into the garden after Monday's full moon to pull some weeds so they don't grow back as fierce. I get around with a shopping jeep too but generally have my food delivered by truck. But if I need to get out to the shops its me and my jeep.  I guess you count it as exercise! Yes we did well today. The Magic of Tidying has been highly motivating to me, whoever set up this thread thought up a good idea. Seeing other people participate and encouraging eachother on this thread has helped me to get stuff done around the house in ways I have not done before.
