I think it's a good sign when my house starts bugging me. I think it means I'm definitely getting better. My house was driving me CRAZY today. My house was still smelling a lot today (I'm not sure I'll ever be able to eat banana Laffy Taffys again), so I opened all the windows to get the smell out. Luckily the wind was blowing like crazy and a lot of the smell is gone now. Unfortunately, that meant it wasn't comfortable to be upstairs. The wind was chilly and blowing stuff everywhere. I decided to spend the afternoon downstairs. My family had eaten popcorn downstairs on Sunday and I think the popcorn popper exploded or something. I was feeling good enough that it bugged me enough that I vacuumed. That was a huge job. Everything is in the family room from downstairs, so I moved then vacuumed, moved then vacuumed, etc. Then, I came upstairs and it bugged me. So I cleaned the living room and swept the kitchen/dining room before my energy completely gave out. I'm definitely doing better.
My floor is curing nicely, too. It's taking longer than we thought. Probably because the concrete is cooler than room temperature. It's darker than it was last time. I was concerned about that because I really liked the floor last time, and I'd coordinated my walls with it. But I still like it, and I think my wall color is still going to go well with it. I'm so excited to be on this end of getting the floor done. It's looking great!
1. I am grateful that Nathan helped me put up a tarp and plywood "tent" to keep the 60% chance of rain off my floor last night. I'm also grateful that we didn't need to see if it worked last night. Even though there was a 60% chance last night and a 50% chance today, it didn't rain. I'm sure somewhere people wanted the rain, and I'm sorry, but I'm very grateful it didn't rain.
2. I am grateful that I had the energy to clean today. I feel so much better when my house is somewhat clean.
3. I am grateful for the mood my family was in tonight. They were all on one. When I was having a hard time being in a good mood, they pulled me out of it. They were all hilarious!
4. I am grateful that when I dropped the sour cream container on the kitchen floor, it just cracked and I was still able to save most of the sour cream. It could have been a lot worse.
5. I am grateful that I actually forgot to take medicine for most of the day today. I wasn't counting down until I could take my next dose. I just realized I have been medicine-free since 3:00 and I don't feel too bad.
Edited to Add: I'm also VERY grateful to have my furnace back on!! It hasn't been overly cold, but I'm grateful to have it on and be warm. I read once that to lose weight, you should keep your house cooler. I joked that it was because you shivered, but I can see it being a real thing. I found myself looking for stuff to move around and do today (i.e. cleaning my house). I do feel like I burned more calories today than I did when I was sitting around sick. But still, I'm grateful to feel warm air coming out of my vents. Even if it does mean that I have to be more self-motivated.
