Day 333

You cannot guess what I did this week; for the first time in ages.

If you guessed that I actually cleaned something, you would be correct. That was mean of you, but not the surprise.

I found an app called Fitter, that is taking me, slowly, back into exercising. I did one fifteen minutes of tabata the other day which left me short of breath but not really feeling better. Yesterday I did fifteen minutes of Fitter, and, today, I feel more compact, less Jobba the Hutt.

This time, I feel that I am in the correct mindset to see this through. The warmer weather is going to be here soon and I do not want to endure it at thirty pounds overweight.

Now, for those of you that guessed I actually cleaned something, shame on you for thinking such a thing. That said, let me show you what I did. Hopefully I have a “before” to go with the “after”. Nope.

Nice, clean passage to the pantry.
The two five gallon buckets contain my homemade laundry soap. One is full, the other, half. As I no longer use this laundry basket, it is holding things waiting for a place to land. The black netting, hanging on the door, folds out to dry things flat.
Once we get the two new drawers in the kitchen, quite a bit of the things hanging will have a place in the kitchen.
On top of the table, in the boxes, are my different types of flours; all purpose, bread, and pastry. I also have twenty pounds of whole Einkorn berries. Underneath are my Mason jars that I use to store everything.

We were hardly able to get through from the kitchen to the pantry. There was stuff everywhere. After an hour, or so, I finished, then had to lie down for an hour.

I still have trouble with dizziness, looking up, putting something on a shelf above my head; or, if I am on my knees, looking around for something underneath something. I break out in a dripping sweat, am nauseated, feel like I am going to lose control of my bodily functions, on top of my already spinning universe. Good times, right?

Fortunately, a good lie down helps, after about an hour or so.

I have yet to finish cleaning the bathrooms, and dusting. I hate dusting. I need to finish, though, before the end of the week.

Luis texted yesterday that he, and Martín, are finished with several of the pieces we contracted, and we be here to install same.

While we wait, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.

Happy birthday Mom.
