Sazzy - sounds like a really good start to me. It takes time to get into routines, and to clear the clutter. It does get easier if you stick to it. Congratulate yourself on what you have done rather than knocking yourself for what you haven't.
Can you tell I am having focus on the positives conversations with myself? I don't know about anyone else but I find it very easy to slip into a spiral of 'everything is grim', and it is a self fulfilling prophecy that inevitably leads to a visit from the black dog.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

Think we do all feel like that, so thanks for reminding me-I am now thinking about the good changes I have made this week and not what I haven't done!0 -
Well, overdue to update on today's flying. I have done more than I thought I might, the main thing is I have finished the first coat of paint in the bedroom - That turned out to be an enormous task that has taken nearly all day :rolleyes: hopefully I will catch up the leftover tasks tomorrow, and hopefully I will leave the house :cool:
