Today was my new version of a rest day. It was time to recover and rest from a busy week. I had 3 activities outside of the house since Monday. This did not use to be considered a busy week for me, however since March 1st this is my new and hopefully temporary normal. Spaced throughout the day I managed to bring the clothes from the clothes line and get them to the right closets. Fold 2 loads of laundry, 1 load separated by an hours rest and then the second load. No I did not get all the clothes put away.
My major accomplishment was finishing the last of Fibber McGee’s closet. Now when the closet door is opened nothing falls out. No need to get out of the way of falling objects. Although John did remind me that I still have a slew of UFO’s to finish so that when my sewing room becomes the guest room a closet will be available. The point is well taken. I can’t start anything new until the closet is empty of knitting projects. No that does not include the cones of yarn on the shelf. Just the project bags on hangers in the closet. Thank goodness.
I had lots of mandatory rest time. My body was pretty much in charge of that. So I listened to music and tried to relax and not think about what needed to be done or what I wanted to do with my day. I personally find this really very hard. I am used to being in motion until I sit down for a minute or 2 and wake up a few hours later. This is the same but not the same now. I can’t clean or move for hours at a time. I am literally living my life by the Zenning 5 minutes at a time book. This is a book I highly encourage everyone to read. I have found it extremely useful.
