I’m still under the weather, but trying to get some things done none the less so I try to pick an inside project each day that I can come close to accomplishing. Unfortunately I’ve entered the “Full Flare” phase of Systemic Lupus and Fibromyalgia. These are two really horrible diseases to have to begin with, but together they equal complete misery – every joint and nerve ending are on fire between shooting pains. The SLE makes you beg for death some days with aching joints and the shooting pain and at the very least think about staying in or going back to bed. Then the Fibro has you crawling the walls with pain, but ironically that pain feels better if you get up and move. My motto since I was diagnosed all those years ago has been “GET UP & GET GOING” no matter what! Eventually I feel better as the day goes on even I do crash by 8PM. I’m doing pretty well for someone who is supposed to be living a stress free life and still dealing with this house the past 14 months. 
Last year I did the “turn your hangers around and anything not worn during the year you donate” challenge. Well, I used to have an office job – the kind that actually required nice dresses and heels. I’ve moved those clothes around with us the last several years thinking they’d be good for church and nice nights out, BUT I don’t need so many of them. So, I went through them all today (my project for the day) as well as my skirts, blouses and slacks and was able to seriously clean out my closet by 52 gallons, four 13 gallon bags full to be exact. Since I’m continuing the minimizing challenge this year, logging everything has helped A LOT!
Tomorrow I’m thinking about doing the spice cabinet or the desk.
Hubby on the other hand worked outside and has taken over my digging on the stump trying to get all the small roots out of the way. It took him several hours, but he made good headway today.
We’re still looking for someone to at least chainsaw off as much as possible though we’d prefer to find someone to grind it out!
