Clearing

I've been doing better, the last few days, but it's also the better half of my week. Plus, having gone public, as it were, I don't feel like I have to carry this myself any more. That's incredibly liberating. Just knowing I'm not the only one--not the only one who's been through this and not the only one who knows about me--frees me. I'm not sure how the latter half of the week will go. Wednesday night and Thursday morning are the usual fall-off point, but I'm hoping it won't be so bad.

I'd like to give myself a good challenge, something big to work toward besides my knitting projects and Personal Progress. It should be something that will stretch me, but it should be realistic, too. Maybe, as I'm a pack rat and I'm married to a pack rat (albeit a minimalist pack rat, if that makes any sense), I should be clearing out things from my house. I haven't yet because it's so hard finding a time to do it. Day is no good because Jonathan needs to sleep. Evening is out because I've got too much going on. Night is either the only time I get with my husband, or when I should be sleeping (which might well explain a least a part of why I'm so tired). Still, it really does need to get done. There are plenty of toys that don't get played with, clothes that don't get worn, things that haven't seen the light of day in years that can be somewhere other than cluttering our little apartment. It'll get interesting when I get to my yarn and fabric stashes. I use those! Sort of. Most of the yarn has actual plans for use, with patterns and recipients picked out and everything. Fabric is a little more iffy, but still every bit as useful. And yet they take up space, space that could be used for plenty of things, including a floor to walk on. Sigh...
