Feeling Good

I'm feeling so much better that I think I might be crazy all to the way to the other end of the spectrum. When I started getting treatment for the PPD I was sluggish, unfocused and unmotivated. Basically annoyed with life in general. However, in recent memory I have not ever felt as well as I do right this moment. Now I have both energy and motivation!

Because I have been feeling so good I have been completing all kinds of projects. Projects and chores that have been staring me in the face for weeks, months and sometimes even years!! One of the projects that I finished yesterday screams to me, You. Are. Better. This project would have never happened before treatment. As I type this I still can't believe I did it. Not only did I start the project, but I finished it!

I bleached the grout of the tile in our kitchen. Not only did I clean the grout; but, I did it with a toothbrush. That's right people. The girl who barely had motivation to brush her own teeth merely three weeks ago is now scrubbing the floors with a toothbrush. It looks so much better. I am so proud of myself because I used to not be able to do ANY. THING. ALL DAY! And now I am seeing myself have success. I am achieving small victories that take me one step closer to being 100% better.

Do you know what I did when I was finished with the floor? I moved my energy and focus outside. I removed the screens on the front windows of our house. We have never taken them down before and we've lived here three and a half years. I took them down to get the windows washed for the first time. I had also noticed (when we moved in, really) that the paint was peeling away from the wood. So, my plan is to re-paint the window frames. The craziest thing about it? I have confidence that I can complete this little chore, too!

YAY ME!
