No I haven't completely disappeared. Just in the yard A LOT. Of all the unpacking I need to do, what do I decide to do? Clean the yard,,,,,and clean the gardens......and cut the trees/bushes.... and rake it up. It looked like no one cleaned the yard for 3 years. Apparently the neigbhours agree with me. There was so much that had to be cut and trimmed. Everything was overgrown. AJ took photos of my work - which I have to get him to send me and I will post later.
I have been unpacking too. Just have about 20 boxes to go. I wonder WHERE I h ad all this stuff in the old house! And where I'm going to put it in the new house. We decided, even though we were going to wait until next year, to paint the place now. We have a guy that is doing a lot of work around for us and he will do the painting. In between all the little fix it stuff needed.
We called Davey Trees to come and take down 2 willow trees. One is leaning on the neighbour's fence (he asked us to remove the tree, and was willing to take it down, but we decided to get a professional as it's already 40 feet high, and close to the houses) the other is on the other fence and again is big. Davey Trees came and took all the brush/yard waste I did too.
The house is lovely. We are enjoying being here, especially as we hear what is going on in the community we use to live in. AJ is doing well with the stairs at the moment. One day we will need to put in the lifts for him though.
I'm burnt out now. At least the yard is finished. I don't feel well, and I'm very exhausted, fatigued, anxious and spacey. I was stung by a yellow jacket on my left hand - very painful. Was very confused and fatigued after that. Took Benadryl asap and advil that night. Hand was better the next day, but even now it\s still a bit sore (a week since it happened).
I did want to paint one room but now I will need to tell Rob to paint that one too. I ended up with the 2 spare rooms upstairs as mine. One is my mediation room the other is my art room. Main floor is the living, dining and kitchen. One downstairs is the family room and the shower bath room - which was to be AJ's but he can't get into the shower because there's nothing for him to hold and balance with. So he gets the soaker tub bathroom upstairs. Even though I can use the tub. Since the shower one is in black/grey stone I am painting it wispy pink. And the upper is light grey. Family room is olive and light olive, master bedroom is olive on one wall and mushroomy beige. Beige is the colour of the main floor and hall way upstairs. My art room is yellow, and my med room - the only one not being painted is bright orange! I know, but I love it.
I have all my IP foods lined up in the basement (there is one more floor under the family room). I had to be a few shelves to put everything downstairs. Food (as there's not that much room in the kitchen), a new freezer (big!), all the cleaning products - can finally see what I have. And all the other odds n ends. We also have a garage for the car and AJ's scooters. A shed - which we need to buy a new one in the back for the garden stuff. Mom got us a battery lawnmower (which is what we were looking at, she said she'd buy it).
Re IP: I have everything ready to go for tomorrow. Monday October 2, 2017. I know I have gone back up to 205.6 lbs this morning. I was going crazy with the foods the last few weeks as I knew I was going to start - not the way to do it. I also knew I didn't care about my weight so I didn't try.
That's not to say, I don't care completely. I do. I just couldn't deal with it and the stress / problems that happened with the moving etc. I also pushed hard with the yard work because I knew I couldn't do it on IP, and I also knew I needed to get it done - it was a need in me to have the yard done instead of waiting until the spring. I feel I can look out and breath. Put up the bird feeder today too.
This week will be back to IP, resting, light house unpacking, gentle cleaning, looking for a daycare for Jax and telling Rob what need to be done. And I will post more. Ta
