Good morning fellow posters. what a weekend! I have had trouble just keeping my job and keeping the animals on the farm fed; let alone trying to clean the house. Always a lot of pain and fatigue. This weekend, I made a vow to get some cleaning done. (Kept that promise even after some stressful news about my "high risk" daughter and a disheartening argument with my husband)
I started in the kitchen. I cleaned the pantry out. every shelf stripped bare and wiped clean. I have to use a small step ladder to reach the top shelf and with my feet feeling like they had shards of glass in them, that was a major victory for me. It took me half of the day to do and by the time I was finished the pantry I was wiped and could barely walk...but I pressed on. I wiped all of my counter tops and dusted the living room. I had to sit down in between and it took the remainder of the day but i got it done!
Now every time I walk into the kitchen or living room, I feel a sense of pride and it lifts my spirits. Sounds silly i know but it just makes a huge difference!
But now i am paying for it. I am exhausted, trying to work but keep taking breaks. I have my first Neuro-psych testing today and I'm worried about that which probably prompted my need to keep busy this weekend.
But when the day is done; I get to go home to my spic-n-span kitchen and living room!

To others it might not seem like it, but to us "ms'ers" cleaning can be a real challange now.
