I strongly believe in the 5 minute rule for doing larger cleaning projects. Since my surgery last Friday and my very obviously diminished supply of spoons, I have come up with a very effective variation of the five minute rule.
It goes as follows. If I manage to get up from my very important job of resting I try to put a few things away. While my tea is brewing, I put things away around the kitchen. If I need to go to the back of the house for any reason, I try to return things to the back of the house. If there is nothing to bring forward, I stop and try to un clutter an area for a few minutes. I find it amazing how much I can get cleaned up in 5 minutes.
As usual the recovery is taking longer than I think it should. Although it is going according to the doctor’s recovery plan. As you know I hate the recovery period. 5 days in 9 to go for the hard core recovery. Then I will start to increase my activity.
I have also started a new shawl. Hopefully I will finish the entire 100 grams of wool before I complete my recovery. I am using a Zauerball. I find the Zauerball’s very fun to knit with. My husband thinks that I should choose a brighter color for the next one.
