Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

[safenow]

I did it! *Stands up and bows deeply*. My living room is clutter free of all hospital equipment. Even though I still need to dust and wax my furniture, it is now a living room. There is a lot of room in here I didn't know was here. LOL.This is a handicapped apartment, and with all my equipment in the apartment it took up all the space.

Next project in here is to wash the venetian blinds. That is a full weeks project. Perhaps I can get the management to just replace them the next time my lease comes due. First time in four years the apartment will be clean if I can finish doing this. It's a good thing my apartment is only two rooms, huh? I mean, I've been in this apartment for about six year, but the past four I was bedridden, and no one would clean for me. OH well, don't want to think about it, or I'll get bitter again. That's another goal of mine, to not be bitter.

Today my challenge is to get rid of three pieces of furniture that I no longer need and that are cluttering up my house. I need to shed and declutter a lot of things. So far I have removed one.

My other challenge is to clean the house and work on a strategy to deal with my pests.

I really don't feel like going out, so this will be a challange, though for most folks it is probably not a big deal at all.

It is a huge challenge to leave the house Sheila. Just huge.

So I upgraded my assessment to four pieces of furniture that I needed to get rid of out the house. I did two in the end. I hope to get one done in the morning. To get rid of the fourth one is going to take some thinking. I must saying this has caused a fair bit of angst in my day. It has been hard.

I put out some cochroach baits as well. I need to clean out the cupboards but that was as much as I could do today.

I had to make a big decision (or what felt like a big decision for me today.) It was quite a process. I felt not so good when I had finished it. I needed to have thought that through more. Anyway I will learn from this experience.

I wobbled today but I still kept going. I still kept doing things.

It is a huge challenge to leave the house Sheila.

I did go, as my friend came to see how I was doing and offered to take me wherever I might need to go, bless her!

Today I carried out something to handle a long standing thing that has been bothering me. I have noisy neighbors upstairs. Today I confronted them, including the unruly child (after an hour long temper tantrum by the kid). Then another neighbor and I both went to complain to management about it too. I think when that neighbor and I discussed it and I told her the manager was here today, we both got the courage up to go speak to her about it. She said she would see what she could do.

So I did my goals today and yesterday. I'm just trying to calm down now, after going above and beyond to handle a long standing problem. I'll only feel relieved though, if something about it can be done, and is done. We shall see!

Mission Accomplished. I went and got the mail. In my haste though to get back in the house, I left the mail slot open.

New goal: Go shut mailbox door.

After creating a living room I paid for it by being weak and very sore, but it was so worth it.

Today, my goal was to take the trash out. With the bad air quality I knew I needed to cover my mouth and nose, but I'm out of face masks, so I got out a scarf I've had for a long time and looking like a good eastern Asian woman or a NUN in habit with my long skirt and long sleeves, I put my trash on my wheelchair, and walked it to the trash bin. LOL.

It wasn't easy, since the winter snow has drifts rather high, people have just been tossing it behind the wall and not putting inside the bin. So it's hard to get close to the bin. I'm grateful my landlady has put a large trashcan for those of us wheelchairs close to the door and I put my trash in it.

Goal for this afternoon is to fold and hang my laundry.

So I got rid of a metal set of shelves and a wooden set of shelves yesterday.

Today I put the desk out. I feel pleased with this. The house is in a bit of a mess because of all of this but I can start sorting that out after my Dip in the Ocean.

I would like to get rid of the old wooden shelves in the laundry but it would create too much mess. I don't want to overwhelm my self with chaos. (There is quite a bit of it here now! lol) These shelves are ones I can break down at a later date, unlike the other metal shelf and the half size solid wooden shelf and the desk.

So I got it all out before the collection comes today and I am pleased with this.
