Funk

I've been in a funk the last several days. There is no real explanation for it, really. It just is. So, tonight we had pizza for dinner and are watching a movie after the kids go to bed. I'm hoping to fake my way out of this slump in mood and energy! Good things are happening in my life!!

Tomorrow we are going to the Kansas State Fair. I hope that going there to people watch and eat myself sick will also help my current mood. I will let you know! Hopefully, after tomorrow, I will have the energy to post a Fair post for all of you Hutchinson natives!

Saturday Blessings!

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!
