Hi Guys,
Yet another quick note to say that my recent sudden complete halt is finally starting back up with a trickle.
The road to recovery after a back re-injury was never going to be swift. I have been told due to tests that my movement will eventually come to a halt. This may be years, but it means I wont get better, however good news is with certain efforts staying steady for the moment is possible. At least, I have movement and the ability to do little jobs and mini purges. This huge delay may have set my progress back, but it wont stop me from forging ahead to finish what now feels like a 'perpetual' job. Finding out the news about my lower back, also means I have less time than I thought to get this job done. This sheds new light onto this sorting as I will now need to get it done before I can no longer physically capable of getting it done.
I still want to get this place in order to enjoy it the way it should be while I can still move, regardless of whether I end up having to sell or not. If I end up hanging on, I can then enjoy it more in a relaxing way. If I do have to sell, then I have to get a jiggle on as come May/June firm decisions have to be made and then be implemented spit spot.
In the meantime, my daughter's wedding is speeding up faster than a locomotive. Well, you get the picture. I have to look decent at least for the photos to make my girl proud. Having said that the hair that I don't get done, was well and truly overdue for a cut and colour. It was while sitting at a recent appointment that I met a lady who deals with organising homes, office and so on for others. What a wonderful and enlightening conversation we had. What impressed me was her easy going nature. I could tell that one would be totally at ease with her ideas and direction.
Apparently she offers vouchers as gifts to give, but makes sure that the recipient is aware and ready for such a gift. What a wonderful idea! Well, my children now know what they can get me for Christmas and next Birthday. A few hours with this lovely lady would have me sorted in the kitchen in no time. Hint hint.
For those who may be interested the name of her business was Bless This Mess. Having used another that one time, I can highly recommend the outlay if you can afford it. If you cannot come up with the cash to splash, then may I suggest you hint to others to help you by pooling together and give this as your gift rather than receive more stuff.
I am truly sold on this idea.
However, at the moment, being that I am on the edge financially, I just cannot justify the cost as yet. But I may try to make it happen when the decision is made in order to get the house to sale ready to make the investment worthwhile. Making the home front look neat and pleasing does translate to a higher sale. So totally worth the outlay.
In the meantime folks, I am busy with shedding the kilos, shedding the 'stuff' and looking for employment opportunities. Not forgetting the two children and their needs as well as my own.
Never a dull moment.
Will be back after the wedding with hopefully more progress to report at a greater rate than I am currently able to do at this moment. Fingers crossed no matter what.
To anyone who is struggling with this issue, just take heart, take a deep breath, take it slow and most of all be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up if you don't do as much at first as you like. Remember, slow and steady wins the race. In the end and so will you.
Cheers all,
Anita
