Oh the best of intentions! That is what I started 2014 with. The entire premise of Clean Slate Monday seemed such a simple, easy to do concept: organize/clean something (in addition to basic household cleaning) every day and by the end of the year my house would be in marvelous condition. Sounds easy enough, doesn't it?
Well, it is, and I plan to return to it soooooon, but until then life got a bit in the way of this venture. I had to have my gallbladder removed last week, and the pain leading up to the actual surgery really limited what I could get done around the house. I barely kept up with laundry and a clean (somewhat!) floor.
Now I am in recovery, but it is a process and it will be awhile before I am back to my usual self. I do plan on bringing back Clean Slate Monday in the future because I think it is a great and more importantly, realistic idea.
Have a terrific Monday - time for a nap!
Thanks for stopping by,
Jane
Hoping for a speedy recovery for you, Jane. Life is always throwing something at us-isn't it? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana. I am on the mend!
DeleteI had emergency gallbladder surgery about 3 yrs. ago and I remember how horrible that pain was.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, the house and blogging will be there.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery,
Cindy
Thank you, Cindy. I am doing well. Ups and downs with the pain, but anxious to get back to normal!
DeleteJane, I've also had my gall bladder removed five years ago. What a relief to get rid of the pain. I hope you have a smooth recovery - don't get frustrated if you can't eat certain things...eventually you'll be able to eat just about anything. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThe recovery pain is nothing compared to gallbladder attacks, you are so right. Thanks for the encouraging words!
DeleteUggg, GB surgery, no fun. Had mine out 10 years ago. Hope you recover well, and quickly!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Jessica. It hasn't been too bad...frustrating though being unable to do much. My time will come! In the meantime, lots of naps and blog reading. Hmmmmm.......l might get used to this!
DeleteClean Slate Monday sounds like a great idea! I think having surgery definitely gives you a pass. Rest up!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexis! I am definitely committed to the Clean Slate Monday idea and hope to go gangbusters soon!
