Hi @NatureLover
Please concentrate on self for the time being. You are doing the right thing by taking some time out while you work on those basics you mentioned. Glad to hear that your friend is coming today to give you a hand to help make the kitchen functional again. Its important that you can at least cook healthy meals and keep yourself as physically healthy as possible. I hope you have an opportunity to spend some time outside in your garden after you get your kitchen functional.
Just remember that Rome was not built in a day. One room at a time. One corner at a time. One shelf at a time. One drawer at a time. One small thing at a time. It all adds up.

Hello @NatureLover. Hope your garden is providing solace and time out, as you work in the house towards your inspection.

Hello dear friends, thank you for your kind and beautiful messages while I've been not coping ❤️
My friend helped me make my kitchen functional again, so I've been cooking a little bit again. She came back on Friday again and helped me clear my lounge-room floor and the narrow pathway between (it was a tripping hazard). She's coming back next Friday to help me clear the kitchen floor and maybe also the kitchen bench if we have time.
I'm coping a bit better with showering, doing my teeth, and laundry...still got a big backlog of laundry to do but the weather in Melbourne is nice and sunny so today I hope to hang lots out. I also went back to my volunteer job last Thursday.
I'm taking it one day at a time and one hour at a time as to going to my volunteer job and doing essentials at home.
Thank you again, dear lovely people ❤️
