For the first time this
week I'm feeling significantly better. I feel like no longer at risk
of passing this disease process on. I still felt a little bit drug
out . I did not go to coffee group event called and canceled my
participation in this week's book club. Even the weather outside was
cast in gray dark ominous clouds the temperature was actually warm
and the one time I did venture out to throw some garbage away it felt
pretty good and I knew that I wanted to I could have gone over to the
market.some juice. So hopefully I'm not talking to soon but I've
beaten death again. I know everyone loses again but it won't be this.
I spent the better part of
the day working with Dianne who came over to deliver some clothes she
had ordered for me on Amazon or something. However, Dianne start
working on a project she had been threatening to do at least help me
do for some time. I embarrassingly report that I really did not do a
lot of my personal shopping until this last divorce. I really can't
figure out how gotten by in my adult life not purchasing my own
clothing. Like to blame the wheelchair, that is so easy to do, like
how you go out and purchase pieces of clothing without trying them
on.?. Even if I felt I have the physical skill sets necessary to take
off and put on clothes i.e. trying on clothes I don't know if I have
the patience or even the ability to ascertain that looked okay. I say
this just to let the reader understand you had a bunch of stuff that
I had to get rid because I've purchased clothes over the years many
times the garments just staying in my closet or are stowed somewhere
in boxes. But today Dianne helped me go through clothes. I don't know
how big a job this is going to be, and I know I don't know I would've
burst with the wholeheartednes I did. I knew I had wanted to bags
(that's right garbage bags). There were a number of shirts I had come
to the conclusion it was time for them to go.
Closet cleaning can be
very infectious. Once a person commits to the program it seems the
cleaning fever takes hold. We started with the oldest clothes without
many of those I feel were dear friends I just remembered how they
made me feel but out in public and my underbelly began to appear are
having to pull down the bottom of my shirt all day long suffering
until I got through the day promising myself I would get rid of the
offending garment will throw back into the closet. To nearly new
pairs of pants that I just love one of set of black 501 Levi's in the
pair of corduroy Levi's that literally shredded my skin when I tried
to wear them but I've kept them in my closet for nearly 15 years
because they were nearly new and I couldn't part with them. There
were similar bags, literally garbage bags of T-shirts especially
brand-new ones that I should have tried on but for obvious reasons
could not. Only to be heartbroken when I got home and try them on
because the clothes did not do their job of hiding my obesity.
They've just hung in my closet all this time mocking me.I found three
pair of shoes I didn't know I still own and I think I may have freed
up at least 30 hangers. I wear socks but I have a box of socks after
all my socks away except for five pair. I swear I have 10 garbage
bags full and ready to go Dianne did not have the room in her little
car, or the strength carry them all to the car. My cleaning person
will be here tomorrow and I think I can get her to bring the truck to
dump is often to DI or wherever. Today was certainly longer than I
thought it would be. However the day was very productive and I think
it enjoyable to both of us…
