Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

another_casualty

Keep on plodding DIA 😼
I received a call from the college where I was to be doing a class in January .
It has now been put back to late March . This tells me that a long lockdown is imminent 🙀
Make sure you have enough food for  a while . 

Anyway , whatever happens happens . Out of our control . 

I too have clothes ( mainly coats ) that I could offload but I haven't . I used to vary them , but this year I haven't had to bother much with clothes , so I may get rid . It is hard tho..

Hi DIA
For me getting rid of clothes shows that you are ready to start a new chapter in your life. Less stuff more Life  is a fabulous goal to have. You won't miss them I just know it. 
Someone will practically pee their pants with delight at the amazing find and so good to raise money for the charity. 
We reap what we sow. 
Proud of you.

Yes well done on the clothes decluttering. Another here who finds it hard to let go sometimes. They are my big frog when it comes to decluttering. 🐸

Thanks everyone
Good to know decluttering clothes isn't hard for me alone. @moneyonmymindsam your post was so brimming with positivity I used the energy to get rid of a few more items Will keep going...

My head has still not cleared over the past few days completely and today it feels muggier. Hoping it will clear soon. I went out for a walk and to pick up last minute shopping. Urrgh. Starting to feel edgy around other shoppers. Glad to get home.

Bike shop closed until the NY. So, no bike. It feels a bit like being car-less. I walked to the shops. Joints better than I thought. Will get in a walk every day, ideally early when no one is about. 

Not hungry but will be later so I'm making a curry and a batch of quinoa

House still an insane mess. I've been wanting to get the floors steam cleaned everyday. Have I done it? Nope. Will be nice to wake up to a clean house on Christmas day and time is running out...

Hope your plans are going well.

Glad you sound like you are sorted with having a chilled Christmas and not worrying about flat hunting.  Shame the bike is out of action but walking is good.

Thanks ES. I decided a week or so ago to stay home and I'm fine with that. As you say the worry about finding a new home has been put aside. I will start looking again in the NY. Walking if absolutely good too. Hope you are sorted for Christmas too

Walking has become a habit of mine since first lockdown, I don't do the miles that some people do but aim for minimum 3 a day. I love it, it clears your mind and makes you feel better. 

Good luck with the cleaning of the floors , steam cleaning all the way. 

Glad to hear you have done your Christmas shop.

One in, one out with clothes and footwear, helps keep them down. I did a huge clear out while moving and unpacking. Had to decide what were 'me' and scaled it right back to fit the available space.

Your head will clear when a few of your tasks are done. Break them right down and mix them up so you see instant results mixed with general tidying.

Not long until your bike is sorted out, for now enjoy the gentle walks.

I know what you mean about things bought for a dream that never happened.  I hope you find a way to focus on your new dream and let them go.

Thanks @Sunshine_girl2 The floors are not yet done! I also love to walk but where I am it is an effort as not a very natural environment...
Thanks @MovingForwards I also operate 1 in 1 out. 
Thanks @RosaBernicia I have let the clothes go. I'm looking forwards
