This weekend I have managed to
* Clean the windows and aluminum fittings inside (Saturday) and out (Sunday).
* Mow the lawn (Saturday) (although I didn't manage to rake up afterwards) (mower catcher is bust).
* Clean the gutters (Sunday).
* Sundry other housework and property maintenance tasks.
This time last year any of those might have left me wiped out for the rest of the weekend. Today I still had enough in the tank to handle the bulk of cooking dinner and write my first actual journal post in ages (short though it might be) rather than falling into bed and doing a credible impression of a wax dummy.
I mean I can feel the unaccustomed exertion in various muscles. Although my legs have let up they will surely be claiming payback tomorrow for all the ladder-work involved in the gutters. But I'm still functional.
This was on top of a very solid week at work, and sundry other errands during the week.
I always pick up somewhat during the summer hours, but my motivation, focus and amount being accomplished recently is remarkable for me. I'm going to attribute it to finally being of the right meds, and hope that a crash is not pending before the Xmas break.
I did have to give up on going out and being social on Saturday night after all the energy spent during the day, an event I regret missing, but I guess that's that's the tradeoff that had to be made for all the other adulting.
I'm hoping that whatever motivated me to whip up post means that the gates will stay open a bit and I'll be able to get some of the other words which have been piling up in my head out over the next few weeks as well.
