Macro Monday…

I have spent the last few days trying to organise my mess of an office…

Since being incapacitated, and that’s one way of describing it, I have been doing my best. Stumbling around like a pensioner at a picnic, never quite getting to grips with anything like I used to.

Consequently, there were piles of papers, posts and writing ideas everywhere. My office is not large, so it was becoming a bit crowded.

Seeing as how avoiding looking at it all wasn’t really working, I decided to set to and somehow, clear the decks. I did it once, so I might remember the ropes.

I have discovered that being a life time winger doesn’t help you remember all the details, as most of the time you’re on auto pilot, so I have had to start from scratch. It has taken days to sort everything out, and at first, things got a lot worse and I nearly gave up. Gradually, I can see some progress, which inspires me not to give up. I have a book to finish anyway, which is a good incentive!

This is also where I am health wise too. I can now stagger about a fair bit but I have to remember to be careful all the time, for doing things automatically without thinking is what usually puts me on the floor. I am waiting for a new hospital appointment to investigate why I haven’t moved on much, or what else might be going on.

Back to the Book!

          I have probably had my fair share of bad news, Debby.
          Always time for a little optimism!

      Thank you Grant… I may have to keep using bay steps, but that doesn’t matter, as long as I get were I want to be!

    Baby steps- that was some advice given to me and I remind myself of it often!

      I never liked this advice in the beginning. Being 6 feet tall and well built, I didn’t exactly feel like a baby, but I have learned! I didn’t have much choice , to be fair…

    Your desk looks well-organized now, Jaye. It’s nice to see your writing there too. Sorry that your progress, healthwise, hasn’t been what you hoped for, and I’m glad you’re getting that investigated. Hugs.

      It is what it is, Diana, and I am making the most of my remaining capabilities. Hopefully, this isn’t the end of my story…

          I’m sure I do, Diana. I must try to calm the storm that is raging inside my head first…

    I hope you are given a hospital appointment soon and find some answers.
    Being a compulsive sorter makes me paradoxically not much help, as my wife says ‘You love a good sort-out’. So much so the poor girl can’t find things after I’m done.

      I have that trouble too, I can’t usually find anything once I’ve tidied up…

    I find starting is the key. Once you’ve begun something, you have to get on and finish it. (Hence, so often the thought comes, ‘Why did I start this?’)

    I hope your hospital appointment finds out what’s going on, and can give you some help.

      Starting is the key, Vivienne. They say, all you have to do, is start, so why is even that so hard?
