Morning @NatureLover , @Eve7 , @creative_writer , @outlander , @Snowie 

How is everyone today 

Looks like a day off for us today 

Raining and the power went off early this morning,  got hot 

[NatureLover]

Thanks for dropping in, @Shaz51 ! ❤️

Sorry to hear about your power, have you got it back on now? 

[Shaz51]

Yes @NatureLover , power is back on 

And ended up working yesterday 

Today is raining so can't mow the lawn 

Go and visit mum instead 

How are you 

Hello @Emelia8

Hey @NatureLover  just dropping by with some love and hugs for you today. Also wondering how your 1 hour of cleaning/tidying is going? 
You said you have a friend coming to help… when does that start?

[NatureLover]

Thank you heaps also for asking about this...I haven't been doing it 😞 The thing is that after doing my 1 hour of watering the garden in the morning plus my 1 hour of regular daily tidying, I'm exhausted. Plus I've been struggling with depression (for no reason that I can see, apart from the state of the house maybe). But please keep asking me abiout this...I think that if I can make it a habit, I will keep on top of the house much better in the long term...

That starts this Friday...we were going to clean out all my junk in the shed (about 30 boxes), but now I think we will have to work on the house, as I have a rental inspection due at the end of January 😮

I really appreciate and value you checking in with me, thank you ❤️

Hello @NatureLover @Bow @Shaz51 

Having someone help can be a real boost. I've made progress since having someone come for a couple of hours a week. And family helped me with the garden and taking some junk to the tip over Christmas. Like you I'm trying to do an hour a day but  it's not always easy to anticipate what to do or where to start. On a bad day if I can handle/process 8 items it's a win. 

[NatureLover]

Wow, @Dimity ! On a bad day you can still process 8 items? That's amazing! 

[Bow]

Hey @NatureLover I’m so sorry things are so challenging for you at the moment and that your depression is worse cause of the state of your house. I really wish I could come and help! 

How has the cleaning gone the last couple of days? 

can I ask about your garden? What kind of plants do you have? I have a lot of plants, but I’m not always good at watering them, I forget, but am trying to make more of an effort this year as I’ve spent a lot of money on my plants. I have a really nice outdoor area with a swing chair, I use to spend a lot of time out there but no so much anymore.

Well done @Dimity even on your bad day you are a winner xx
