#9 The Washing Up

Today has been a relatively good day.  Unfortunately I woke up too late to go into town but am planning on leaving the house tomorrow as it's beginning to get unbearable.  However, I have managed to finish some of my work so I now only have one essay to write and some editing to do. I also managed to get some of the washing up done.  This is a big deal for me as it causes a lot of pain to stand while doing it and sitting down means I'm not high enough to reach the bowl (you see the problem).  Anyway, because my M.E. has been so bad recently I haven't been able to do the washing up so it was taking up a whole side of the kitchen and we barely had any plates left.  It was really beginning to get me down as when things aren't clean it makes my skin twitch (untidy is fine, dirty is not).  I didn't manage to get it all done but am feeling much better now that some of it has been accomplished, even if it has caused my legs a lot of pain. 

I'm aware that some of my posts this week have seemed quite depressing and that is simply because I suffer from depression and am finding it useful to let some of it out in my blog so it doesn't get on top of me and pull me down further.  As you can see from this post, it hasn't gone, but every day is different and I wake up with the hope that a new day will bring less badness in my life.
