I have been doing very little in my apartment except sleeping (and working my two jobs). I thought I'd get more done after my online class ended. After all, I reasoned, I didn't have to attend to my class reading, posting, researching my paper deadlines. but all I do is sleep. Oh and watch a little TV, then dose on and off. I don't change into sleep clothes. and I awake in my chair with my feeling pain in my jaw from apparently clenching my teeth together. So the dosing isn't relaxing. And the dishes aren't washed. I've decided to put away all dishes except one place setting and just wash after each use.<br /><br />I've always enjoyed washing dishes (when I had a window to look out at the sink). My apartment is shaded and low light comes into the interior spaces. So I want to just read and do computer work. But mostly sleep. <br /><br />I have vowed to do a little something special each day (not housework) but to decorate. Hang a picture. or start a mosaic project. One thing I know will give me pleasure is to take a roll of film or a used instant camera and have the pictures developed. I have a little extra money now so I can reach into the bag I have that is full of these yet-to-be developed pictures. These date back 10-15 years. I was emotionally numb for at least 10 and financially strained. <br /><br />So I can't wait to see these pictures!! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14494845112825228405noreply@blogger.com
