FAILING

 

I'm gunna start the day on a low.

I feel like I am utterly failing with my weight loss so far this year.

I had a massive sugar fix yesterday.  I know it was because I'm a bit stressed.  

Nothing in particular either, just EVERYTHING culminating into a cesspool of shittyness.

And the stupid thing is, most of my shittyness is down to me and my poor eating of late.

I'm like ... what the fuck am I doing?

I don't know how to pull myself out of it right now.

But ... I will keep trying, cos I know how happy I am when I am 'on track' and losing some weight.

I get SO CLOSE to my ultimate goal, then just fall off the bloody wagon.

WHY?

I will go to the Weight Watcher meeting tonight. NOT weighing in cos I don't want to self harm (joking), but my mental health is just as important right?  I know where I am on the goddam scale anyway.

I just need the support of the WW Leader and the ladies there to yak to.  They might help with my motivation.

And I want to get back into my walking regularly again, that helps me tremendously, even though I FRIGGIN' HATE WALKING!

Alright, enough bitching.

Back to today.

I'm going to sew a bit.

Then I'm gunna pack a bit.

PACK???

Yeah.  I'm going to take a little trip down to Palmerston North tomorrow.

For Sandra C's 60th Birthday.  

I hadn't planned on going right now, but plans change.   

It will be lovely to catch up with the girlfriends, and see Mike 'n' Joyce again.

So, I will get me ducks in a row, get shit ready to throw in me suitcase and then I can relax.

Going now.... got stuff to dooooooo.....

LATE last night, I was lying in bed, no able to sleep.

Because my PANTRY was bugging me!  Yep, stranger things have kept me awake, but last night it was the bloody pantry.

I was annoyed at how cluttered it was, how things were 'out of place', and also several other cupboards in the kitchen.

So... I snuck outta bed, closed the doors so I didn't wake Stew, and got to it.

Now of course, to move anything out of the pantry and cluttered cupboards meant moving heaps of other things.

But, I got half of it done last night, and when I arose this morning, I did the rest of it.  All up it took me four hours.  Four hours well spent.

ABOVE:  I now have a spic 'n' span pantry again.  And it's so much less cluttered.

CLUTTERED is a word I shall use often today.

ABOVE: Next up was all the containers I had in one of the cupboards in the kitchen.  They went into this cupboard in the garage.  If I need any, I can just get them from here, right?

ABOVE: Taking those containers out of this cupboard meant I could put all the baking ingredients there instead.

And of course, that also gave me more room in the pantry.

So it was less CLUTTERED.

Gosh I'm right into decluttering at the moment!

ABOVE: The next eviction was all these from the day to day cupboard of plates, serving dishes etc.

ABOVE:  75% of them went in the credenza.  They all get used occasionally, but they sure in hell don't need to be in the kitchen full time.

ABOVE: Same applied to these large serving dishes.  They get used on occasions, but not all the time.

And they were on the top shelf in the day to day cupboard, and damned if I could reach up and get one down, particularly if it was under several others.

That used to piss me off.  No more.  That shittyness is over.

And YES, I'm sure I'm spelling 'Shittyness' wrong, but I don't care. Is there even such a word?  If not, I made it up.

ABOVE: The day to day cupboard, all tidy, organised and not CLUTTERED ... finally I'm happy.

AND DONE.

Well, by done I mean that job.

I've now got the washing to hang out, the bed to make, some dishes to do, then I can get into the sewing room.

LUCKY I LIKE BEING BUSY RIGHT?

What are you up to today?  Have I inspired anyone to get decluttering yet???

3.33 pm, and I'm finished in the sewing room for the next few days.

ABOVE:  Funky Bird Runners numbers 5 & 6 done.

I'm happy to now take a break from sewing.

I've made 12 runners in the past 8 days.  Not a bad effort.

I am now going to make a start on sorting out what I need to pack....

9.50 pm:  Well I went to WW, enjoyed the meeting and then came home.  

Stew and I did a quick trip to Lacy's and Steve 'n' Bex's as well, just giving them some food I'd bought but didn't want after all.

It was chocolate, lollies, biscuits etc.  I had a mad moment yesterday.  But it's all out of the house now.

Then we gassed up my car in readiness for tomorrow's road trip.

Now... I'm watching Coronation Street before heading off to bed.

CATCH YA TOMORROW.
