I have forgotten to water the plants again. It's been rather frustrating. I have lost many of my houseplants because I kept forgetting to water them over the course of the last year. You never realize how much depression messes with your brain until you take stock of how much stuff you had forgotten about or struggled with because of it. Last year was a hard year.
I will be watering them after I finish this post. Then I have a ton of dishes to take care of because my 17 year old son is refusing to do his chores right now. I know that he loves his Chromebook but I may put a halt on its use if this persists longer. A week's worth of dishes is waiting for attention. I know there's no way that he's going to catch up if I let it sit and wait for him to take care of any of it. The ongoing contest of wills is aggravating but that's life with a teenager. And I have two teenagers in the house so it's double the fun. (If only there was a sarcasm font!)
I am not sure what else to write because I didn't come into this with a plan. I apparently am really big on planning before I write. Even if it is a few notes on a scrap of paper. I suppose it is a good thing that I have my planning notebook for my blogs. I know that if I give myself time and allow myself the opportunity to do research for content that requires research, I can get back to high quality posts again. I just feel like that's going to be difficult.
Having my home a mess is a stressful thing and it interrupts my thinking about other things. Navigating through a room full of toys and piles of projects makes it hard to focus on anything else. And that's just the living room. I am not going to give up, just make some strategic decisions on how I am going to approach everything. Like using my timer for making my morning pages posts. It clocks 10 minutes to go from the sand in the top to entirely in the bottom. Ten minutes isn't a very long time and it makes the posts less stressful because I know that I'm not neglecting something important.
