Operation Keep The Peace

I think that's what I'll call the next few hours.

I've been home solo for a few weeks. Kept on top of dishes/counter/stove cleaning and laundry, kinda bathroom.. but haven't vacuumed at all, tons of random stuff strewn about that needs to be put away or at least temporarily stashed somewhere out of sight. Recycling and such I haven't taken into the depot that I Might make time for on my way out the door.

I've hardly been productive for months - with the exception of some jobs I took on, then I work and earn my money.

Took some dexedrine the last few days for better focus, took some today too. I think I Need the pharmaceutical crutch since my cardio/exercise levels have been far too low to give myself proper dopamine boosts & maintained levels.

Now I'm gonna eat, drink a coffee, and rip around the house like a madman tackling a bunch of small jobs that'll make a Big visual impact so that when I pick my mom up at the airport at 4:30 and bring her back home she doesn't walk in and flip s**t because she keeps a pretty spotless house. I'll probably accomplish more domestic duties in the next 3 hours or so than the last 3+ weeks - not everything - but probably enough to break a sweat and Hopefully enough that she's not annoyed with me.. give/take balance of familial respect; I need her assistance with some things, and she needs mine - and one big thing I appreciate is having a stable roof over my head so I don't need to f**k that up!

Also, even though it shouldn't even Be a big deal, a burst of productivity and cleaning and such is going to be so incredibly good for me. The start of getting offline and back to life, work, exercise, goals, crushing my long overdue to do list, and then moving forward with goals I keep putting off. That's the idea, anyways.. and my motivation to smash out these "small things," to clear them away from my line of sight so I can free my mind to focus on the bigger things I know I need to do. Enough with laziness, inactivity. I don't want to get weak and fat. Not working, earning, achieving etc is no way to live Nor honour the lessons learned from the dead I mourn.

Wish me luck; I'm going in armed with not much more than a vacuum cleaner and not enough time!

Tune in tonight to find out if goldfish avoided getting a blast!

I enjoyed reading your post, goldfish.

Good luck in tidying & cleaning for when your Mom comes back!

You could do with me being there. I'm like a whirlwind when it comes to housework.

Managed to do just enough that things look decent and there’s no conflict. I pre-warned her that there’s some extra crap in the house and that the garage is particularly full of crap as I haven’t taken the recycling in and had to unload all the tools from my car yesterday when I took it into a body shop. She didn’t even think the garage looks much different at all. Crisis averted.

But still.. tons of things to do that I had plenty of time to do the last few weeks. Gotta get on top of things again!
