I did it!

As small of a feat this may seem to some, it was huge for me! I got off the couch and washed the dishes…..by hand…no dishwasher! They have been sitting in the sink for days, and I finally found the energy to do them! Cried most of the day yesterday but am doing ok today so I figured I’d try to do them today. Yay to me! I’m proud of myself!

Good for you. I get it. The small things can feel huge so savor that happy feeling. I find it hard and wonderful when I get the energy to change my bedding. I spend a lot of time there.

I’m right there with you with the bedding. I spend so much time in my bed also. I often just spray the sheets with Lysol so I don’t have to wash them.

As someone who literally ordered takeout for 3 month because is couldn't find the motivation to do dishes, I understand. Great job it really is the little wins that help one get through the day, week, year.

It’s hard to believe I sometimes have the energy to cook to make the dishes dirty. I’m sure there are plenty of you that understand.
