Just about time.

To work that is.  I am looking forward to it, hoping to get a lot of it done.  Dishes, a shower, grooming and dressing, and to the post office by noon?  I'll have to hustle some shuffle.  But I think so.

My feet are becoming human again.  No longer thickly scaled.  No moisturizer worked.  I'm not sure, but I think moisturizers actually made it worse.  If nothing else, they simply didn't help.  Moisturizing soap, pretty much, did nothing, at best, either.  What helped was that scrub brush... and keeping excess water from collecting.  I have nearly human looking feet again.

Much of what I am doing goes unnoticed.  It isn't just doing more, it is doing what I do smarter and with direction.  For example, I bought, set up, and am using a clothes tree.  That keeps clothes I think I can wear again at the ready, lets them air out hanging, and then keeps them off the floor, bed, and anywhere else.  The hamper is where they go if they need a wash, and when I wash, I go from clean to folded or hung and put away.  No compromise.  Now, I am doing this with many things.  It actually slows me down, in some ways.  But these things are springboards.

Sure, I get stuck from time to time.  I just don't stay stuck.  Even if I can only move one small part this time, another part that time, eventually it all just happens, and much sooner than ever before.  My goal, to be honest, isn't to become a homemaker, it is to become functional.  With where I am and what I have, one just happens to be the other for the moment.  You really have to start with the basics.  If I can achieve these, then there is a chance I can move on to other things.

I am doing much more, recently, that what can be expressed here.  Just living more... cleanly, accurately, precisely, in an intentioned manner... it is happening and working.  It is getting somewhere.  I have much left to do, even before the break.  But I am doing well, and not falling behind too far or for too long to be ready to move even further ahead in time.  My question is whether I should go back to cracking the main bedroom or hit the living room, after the appliances are fixed and a rest is taken?  Yeah, I'm thinking bedroom.  I miss the pure raw winter cold of my main bedroom.

Anyway, on to dishes.  I'll be using kneepads today.  I can rip through the dishes down there better, faster, when kneeling than when seated.  It takes a lot more out of me, but time is the more precious commodity, today, I think.  Good morning and day.
