I've had a flare up of my "back" issue, and none of the things I've learned at the Pain Management Clinic is enough. My blood pressure decided to join in the party, along with my stomach, and I've been struggling to do anything.
I started on some bp medication last Friday, so I hope that brings the numbers down soon.
Instead of being able to spend a significant amount of time decluttering (yet again), I've had to focus on some other stuff. I have been trying to do short bouts of decluttering as part of my distraction method or pain management, and I guess I've cleared at least one large wheelie bin full of stuff, and a wheelie bin 's worh of cardboard and packaging. Not all has been binned, most of it has been offered as free and has been collected.
The one advantage of doing this while in pain is that I don't have the patience for nostalgia. I find that instead of keeping some items because of their nostalgia value, or becuase they might be useful, or might be valuable eventually, or because they would be difficult to replace.... I find myself thinking "who cares?!!".
Manwhile...
DH has been busy putting the replacement drawer fronts on the drawers, and has replaced a door with two drawer fronts connected together. He is limited on what else he can do, as there's some shifting and shunting required, and I'm not up to it at the mo.
