Jewells of Thought

There is a lot to say… its Christmastime… the 12th is a big day in my memory… lots of things are happening… and we have officially put my Grandparents house for sale as of Friday. For me it’s a lot to compute

A lot of emotions have been bubbling up this year all because of that house. Emotions I have never had to face on the Alsman side because Uncle Tony is still in the house. I’m already so emotional adding on regret, missing my other half when we haven’t even met a first time, and watching my niece grow up too soon. All of this has an effect on me and sometimes I need to work out some of these emotions…

So… this morning I slept in late for me. I could feel the fact I had not taken my morning pills like my allergy one, at least there are times I believe I can feel when I have not taken a pill. Although last Sunday I totally missed all of my morning pills and felt fine so I don’t know.

As I was getting up my parents were headed to Grandma’s house to meet with someone about the stuff still inside. After only finishing my writing prompt this morning and reading through the Star of Wonder Devotion I was needing to be a busybody. Usually I’m the head chef at home and mom does the dishes. I have gotten tired of cooking lately and she’s gotten tired of doing all the dishes so this morning I got dirty. I loaded the dishwasher and washed some of the non dishwasher safe dishes. It took a couple of hours, but it felt good.

Mom and I reversed roles only to reverse again I still finished fixing our lunch but I had cleaned up her kitchen a bit. After that though I still felt like cleaning so I headed to my room and decided it was time to move the bed and I did it by myself and swept the first round through. There is still another round of sweeping coming. I feel better and what has shocked me is the fact I haven’t sneezed once. Maybe I have finally desensitized my allergy to dust.

Also before Dad went to work he finally put up the saw. As you can see below. Last year he put up the other one it’s a bit larger this one is smaller, but they are remnants from the Lester Farm. We had some troubles getting this little one to get it put up, but we did before it was time for him to head for work.

Do you ever need to clean in order to not overthink emotional issues?
