Mellow Monday

After staying up until after 2am this morning, I've had a rather lazy day.  I did manage to sweep my floors and do some laundry.  I also had a nap.  Now, I'm in the middle of cooking supper - meatloaf, mashed potatoes, fried corn and green beans.

I'm in the process of making a list of things I want to get done around the house.  Some of the items will involve the use of power tools!! Woot Woot.  The list of things I want to do is a bit overwhelming, but I plan to tackle one room at a time.  With any luck, I'll be finished by spring which means I can work in the yard.  Yes, I'm looking forward to spring and sunshine!  These gray days wreak havoc on my depression.  Last week when I went to the doctor for my meds refill, he and I discussed the depression and the fact that we are doing all we can for it from a medical standpoint.  Ughhhh.  I have GOT to do something to help with this as I cannot imagine having to feel this way from now on.

I have a bad habit of staying in my pjs all day.  I see no reason to get dressed if I'm not going anywhere.  I'm told that I should get dressed every day, fix my hair and makeup, get a hobby or volunteer that it should help some.  Maybe I should do that.  I'm definitely getting a hobby.  Between the depression and fibromyalgia, I'm a mess some days.  The fibro causes pain, no energy and numerous other things.  Today for instance, the bottoms of my feet feel as though they are on fire inside.  The burning has not subsided.  I lie down, sit up, prop my feet up and try to get some relief.  The best thing I've found is putting my feet on ice.   Anyone who suffers from either of these illnesses can understand, I'm sure.

Can someone tell me where all the dust comes from?  I could dust every day and probably should.  One of the items on my list of things to do is to clean my blinds.  Oh how I hate that chore.  Sometimes it would almost be worth it to take them down and just not put them back up.  If not for one neighbor, I would.  We have 5 acres here and the one neighbor's house is close enough to ours that they could see in my upstairs bedroom window if I didn't have blinds.  Oh well.  I'll spare them the lovely view.

My meatloaf is smelling pretty good!  Guess I'll go finish cooking supper.

Be safe~!
