2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

Brie

@Florenceem
I wish I had half your energy!!  When stressed I tend to play games.  I would of course submit to staring at MrsSD's sand art or playing with a puppy in the park.  

Decluttering today is not of the usual sort.....all the travel bags got dumped when we returned from our hols on Sunday so I've started to tidy those away including doing some washing.  Can't do too much too quickly as with us having no proper heating it will just make the house damper and colder than it already is.  So I'm pacing myself.  (which is fine - we really have too much clothing anyways and could likely go a couple of more weeks if we had to....)

So travelly stuff is slowly finding it's way back to where it all belongs.  I've found the art stuff I took with me (& didn't use) which of course I needed for my class on Monday (thank goodness for friendly artsy types willing to share).  I haven't yet found the charger cable for my watch which is now beyond pleading to be fed.  It will work as a normal watch for at least another week but I like to be able to use it for checking my heart rate and the rest.  The cable is, no doubt, in an unpacked bag.  

And oddly acquired travelly things....the motor services had boxes of crayons to amuse children so I nabbed some of those for the food bank's Easter bags.  I'd also picked up sachets of mustard and mayonnaise for our sandwiches so I'll bag those up and drop them at the FB as well as someone will find them useful.  We've a number of chaps that are homeless so it's no point giving them a big jar of something, particularly if it needs refrigeration (not that that's really a problem right now) so single serving packets work well for them.

afternoon ~ its wet wet wet here.

MRS SD ~ so pleased MRSD is doing so well

I spent the morning at the breast clinic, all clear, but the cysts were 'having a party' in there. But not now, they were rather large so have been aspirated (ouch!)

So rested on the sofa for a bit this afternoon drinking coffee and eating chocolate!

Was hoping to get in the garden, but it is just too wet!

DS2 came in from college and offered to cook, yey!! That never happens, he doesnt even know where ive been today, but I was very happy to let him make out dahl for tea!

Have a good evening everyone

Ooh, i feel your pain. I used to have boobs like bags of marbles & had loads of cysts aspirated - 9 times out of 10 it doesn't really hurt but every now & then a nerve is caught.

yes ditto Floss ! this was my third time, but im always worried, because they are lumpy, i  wont be able to spot a 'bad' lump. But had the all clear. And this time was painful, still feeling rather sore.

Im sure another cuppa and something sweet will help !!!!

Thank you for your kind wishes. 

 It’s been a very difficult 9 years for MIL and us. Things will seem very odd for a long time I think. 

 I am sloping off into the tlc carriage for a while. Home made lemon drizzle cake and Labrador puppies to play with please.

Better to be sure than to miss one. My consultants have never minded my regular appearances - at one point ver the last 20 years I was at the clinic every 6 months, but since I've had no extra hormones mine have all settled down.

Got wet walking to and home from the Doctor - confusion when we got there - I was told 4.20 and check in computer said 5pm. appointment. Did we want to return in half an hour? No thanks - it takes us half an hour to walk from home to surgery.

Doctor was lovely with Mr F - I needed to go in with him to make sure he told her the correct things and because he is profoundly deaf - to listen and tell him later - any bits he missed.

Got the medication and very confused as she only mentioned 1 tablet but he was given 2 medications at the pharmacy.  So will need to contact the surgery tomorrow.

Not a big decluttering list today unless I count all the dirt/dust that I got rid of in my cleaning drive.

Sending hugs @vulpix.
@~FlowerPot~ glad you got the all clear and @Floss that yours have calmed and haven't returned. This is what I'm on antibiotics for, a painful lump. It hasn't gone away so will probably be referred to breast clinic when I go back to GP. It's good to read they aren't always something more sinister (although doctor wasn't worried as it was painful so more likelya cyst or something).

DH has been a busy bee this afternoon. Extractor fans on and working and he's just spent the last hour filling the incinerator. I have space to start sorting again tomorrow. Still not a dent made in the conservatory though.
