I echo music strongly . 🎼 .
I have always put music before everything else . Good idea about the audiobooks @jwil
i have a few months of amazon that I haven't used yet . I haven't joined a library as such ,but am a member of a job club which is in a library. You've got me thinking.😼
You're still doing lots DIA and you know the rest 😼..

Hope today was better - I find keeping busy is the best way to keep negative feelings at bay. I too find music really helps.

Music & a good book feed the soul

if reading is not quite what you fancy - try music - especially compilations on a theme you like but from someone else's playlist - that way you don't have to choose (except maybe to skip a selection you don't fancy).  most of the major platforms like spotify both have "radio stations" or their playlists and do a web browser/phone version for free which is usable although has adverts

Thanks will have to look into that

Audio books are also a good solution if you haven't got the energy to read.  You can borrow them for free from the library if you have online access.

Thanks Tried to logon to library account and can't. When library is up and running I will get this sorted. Audio on loan from library is a great idea. Now I have the head set I can combine a book or music with doing household chores. Strangely, I am looking forward to it!

Yes, Thanks AC. Music fab and listen to quite a lot on u-tube. Will definitely be checking out audio from the library

I keep my suitcases under my bed but they will need moving as today the plan is to remove all items from the floor in my bedroom and keep them off the floor so the room can be easily cleaned. It has slowly turned into a mess. The window and blinds need cleaning too. My aim today is to go to sleep in a dust-free, clean, organised space!

Yesterday I decluttered 3 dresses. Never worn! I've been so focused on being slim enough to wear them that I hadn't noticed they are no longer to my taste! 

I was gardening yesterday and will be today. The man on my road who had cancer is well enough to be gardening. He has grown some beetroot and tomatoes into small plants and left them on my doorstep. Today I will go in search of compost even if it is a small bag.

Apart from the garden and my bedroom my focus today will be work.

Hoping my book and my subscription beauty bits arrive too.

Have a good day everyone

That suitcase removalDIA...is it an undercover job?😼
You seem to have similar issues to myself on the tidying up side of things . I haven't got the dresses though.
Enjoy the week😼..

dust free is a real aspiration - my OH has been attacking the shelves and cupboards with vigour but we have a long way to go

What a sweet thing of your neighbour to do - hope the beetroot and tomatoes turn out well. There's something sounds so satisfying about growing, picking and eating your own produce. Hope your soil hunt is over quickly! Have a good Monday
