When my watch stopped I was looking for batteries for it and found not one but two of my old watches both still working. So I am good in the watch department.
When grief this spring I had to walk in what felt like molasses, getting through papers and things like that were a challenge in those early days for me.
I worked through the fog and got some routines going. Those helped and I remembered how much it helped to get some fresh air and out of the house, walking the dog, gardening even just sitting on the patio.
Writing helped and remembering some tasks I liked to do like knitting that calmed me and brought comfort and helped things feel normal to me.
I heard of someone this week that lost a spouse and is not doing well. Unable to keep up their yard, lost pension when the spouse died. Is deciding to keep the home or stay. Big important decisions but rethinking is important if things are not working out. The kids are not helping out but sometimes that is the only way for a person to realize change needs to happen.
Anger is a part of the processing I used to smash pop cans. It was great therapy for me. This week music is helping last week it did not help.
I am doing better now able to sort and delcutter some things again that I did not even try to tackle before. It is nice in the basement, and outside in the mornings in the shop and tool room it is cool. I went through another shelf and a half. Might need some boxes. Some things need to go outside. Progress is great like things together and I can do this one of my jobs I cleaned and sorted stuff in a mechanic's shop so I have a pretty good idea of how to sort this stuff. I am trying to clear of space for files that are needed to be kept up off the floor.
Found a few surprises like the new mirrors I think for the old truck and a couple of things I have no idea what it is or the purpose for it. I will have to take a pic. and post & ask if any one knows.
