Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Hello @NatureLover I was up until 2am putting through washing but the intervention came to an abrupt end today. We achieved a lot in the time we had. 

Bad headache tonight. Now I'll have to ease back into my routine (such as it is. I haven't had it long and it needs work.)

Hope your day went well. 

Tomorrow I'll start again. Not sure what or how but probably chores.

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@NatureLover my friend is extremely grateful for the hard work of the last week which makes it all worthwhile. I think it could take a couple of days for me to recalibrate and get going again. Feeling a bit shattered to be honest.

Wow, @Dimity , it sounds like you went above and beyond for your hoarder friend. Well done. 

 

Can you give yourself a few days off? Sounds like you need a rest and some 'down time'...

 

I'm feeling down today and I told my friend I wanted to stop the Friday sortings for a while. I'm not coping with someone in my house (the germophobia). Plus I've run out of puff for the sorting. Instead I will just try to keep the house relatively neat.

Thinking of you @NatureLover @and really hoping the weekend goes well for you. Take care 💚🤸🏽‍♀️💚

 

@Dimity you’re a trooper! 💙

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Sorry you're feeling down @NatureLover . I guess it'll be too hot tomorrow for garden therapy.

I think I need a break too. Maybe we can share commiserations.  

 

 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thank you, dear @Eve7  - especially when you have been having a hard time yourself 💛

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@Dimity  Yes, way too hot for garden therapy although I need to do watering early before it gets hot. 

 

I'm glad you can allow yourself a break. What will you do? Do you have some self care things you like to do, apart from your gardening? 

 

I might do some sewing (mending) today. I still feel down and the house is a mess, although not too bad I guess compared to sometimes. 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

I was a couch potato most of the day tbh @NatureLover . Not feeling the best. During my years of depression I lost sight of self care activities and haven't really got back onto them yet. I got a big batch of washing done and cooked a veggie hotpot tonight so the day wasn't entirely wasted.

Ditto re the house being a mess. We'll get there. 

I leave the sewing machine out for mending but should find somewhere to tidy it away.

@NatureLover Just dropping some 💕💕💕 off @Dimity @too 💕

Thanks @Bow . Take care
