Yesterday I woke up at 10:30 a.m. And went to bed at 5:30 p.m. Ridiculous! Now, it's the middle of the night and I'm once again awake. So, I have a screwy circadian rhythm. Why am I somehow not surprised?
The house stays clean, must be magic, it's sure not my doing. No really, laundry, feeding pets and taking care of the dishwasher are about my limit. I take windex and paper towels to the sinks and faucets. Swish the toilets daily, dust occasionally. I cannot see the dirt, so doing those things is a must. The cat and dog go outside to tend to their business. My lovely hand painted enamel pan with essential oils heated in it makes the house smell nice.
I need to get better if only to take care of our home. I feel guilty that I'm not doing more. At least it looks great. (Or so I'm told)
Keeping busy with things I can do as I rest while not going bonkers is a challenge.
More wardrobe organizing going on. Trying to simplify the whole code process to something that is easy to use and remember. I have a number of things to work with. Foam letters and numbers, lovely beads and findings, gorgeous hang tags and ribbons all should work together to make a usable system for me. The living room ottoman is covered with those things as well as pages of notes that I keep making changes to as I work out things.
The scarves are now mostly hanging with the items that they will be worn with. Hats are on an antique hall tree, except for the ones which still need to be decorated. Shoes are neatly organized. Stockings and garter belts will be in pretty bags, sorted by color. No panty hose for me, I love the way that stockings and garter belts feel, feminine and sexy as all get out. Socks go with the 3 pairs of footwear that they are worn with. It's progress.
Hang tags will be attached to each hangar showing the shoes, purses, stockings and hats which go with that particular garment.
I'm thinking of attaching pretty drawstring bags to garments to hold items which only go with that particular item. I know that not everything can be done that way, but it should keep me from digging through drawers trying to locate things while I'm getting dressed. Certain lingerie items like slips and strapless bras come to mind for the most part.
I want a system for mix and match items. Dressy, jeans, summer, etc., as well as items I can pack for trips. Vacation groups like city, country, resorts should be easy to figure out as well. Sorting and marking those categories will take some thought.
Once again, I need to go through more clothing, weeding out items that are too large. I'm losing a lot of weight. My wardrobe is about a third less than it was 6 weeks ago.
Trying not to lose too much too fast, but it's a real battle. I force myself to eat daily. BLT's and apples are about the only things that appeal at the moment. That is the only thing that methotrexate did for me that is good. It got me over the weight loss plateau that I had been stuck on. I'm nearing my final goal for my ideal weight, but it has to be a healthy loss. Still no appetite, no real urge to eat, nothing tastes really good. Even great chocolate does not tempt me.
Enough for now.....
