How Long Do You Need?
About a year apparently, or that is how long it took to go from maximalist bordering on hoarding to a not quite minimalist, but definitely under control regular amount of stuff type person. After a few years of chronic illness, and several more of untreated clinical depression the world decided to have a pandemic. What…

Desk Cleanse…
A cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind. I’ve got no idea if that is true, but if my mind is anything like my desk there is definitely a problem. After trying to work in a space that looks more like somewhere you would purchase a mogwai than an office, Im ready for…

Just for the Record…
I was looking for a particular record to play this morning. 45 minutes later I wasn’t in the mood to listen to it. My record collection has become a collection, it serves no purpose other that taking up space. There is perhaps 200 records I play, of those maybe 50-80 I play regularly, and of…

Clean Room Chronicles Pt 3…
I’m starting to think I could have given the whole house an acceptable tidy up in the time its taken to do one room. Actually I’m sure. But I’ve woken up to wardrobe doors I’m not scared to open. I also slept better than i have in a while, possibly due to the reduction in…

Clean Room Chronicles Pt 2…
At 9am this morning my room was almost 95% done, as long as you didn’t look in the closets of course. Luckily I’m single and no but me ever opens my closets, so as long I keep the doors closed it’s fine. An hour later… Total carnage that in no way helps any visible parts…

Throw Me Down…
I don’t know if it’s the layers, the textures, or just the informal casual feeling, but I’m totally all about the throw rug. Comfort, cosy, calm… all the C words. All the years living in disorganized clutter (the bad C word) has given me a huge appreciation for the CALM part. There is also a…

Sunshine on my Pillow…
And other things that make me happy. A goodnight of sleep has helped my mood considerably, also I suspect deciding to take the weekend off from any farm/work activities is also a part of that. I’m doing wonderfully mundane housework stuff, a few loads of washing, sorting the pantry etc. but mainly what I’m doing…

Running on Fumes…
So three months (give or take), is how long it’s taken for the manic denial stage of grief to pretty much burn itself out. Also I’ve run of Valium which isn’t going to help. Luckily I have a doctors appointment next week and he trusts me not to pop them like candy. Anyway that wasn’t…
