Been ruthless

Hubbie and I agreed that this half term week we would clean the house top to bottom and set some sort of rota for the housework so it's not all left to me.

Today was the living room and the boiler room. Living room was just cleaning up clutter that had accumulated since Christmas. The boiler room was my job alone, it's where I put things from my past that I wasn't sure of. Well, I sorted and got rid of a lot, bad memories stirred by things. I feel emotionally drained and down. Next two tasks are for me to sort through my videos and for us to both clear the kitchen.

My eczema has flared from all the stresses I've had this month so hubbie has to do all the washing up as the hot water burns even through two layers of gloves.

The living room needs lots more work. Things have just been put aside and on shelves rather than being sorted.

My little sister in law is coming to stay on Wednesday through to Thursday morning so what I'd hoped was going to be a leisurely week with a room a day cleaned has all been jammed into two days. Ah well, Thursday/Friday and the weekend I can relax.

Roll on March.

I went to the GP today to get a couple of moles checked and discuss my inability to (A) fall asleep and (B) stay asleep. As far as the sleep goes I'm upping my anti-depressants to see if that helps, I see him again in a month and by then will know one way or another. He did suggest slogging it out but as it's already been two weeks since I *really* started with the problem on top of my usual inability to sleep I thought something a little more was needed.

The mole thing was interesting. I have two big moles on my back, exactly the same places my Grandad had two that turned into melanomas so I like to get them checked once a year just to be safe. Anyway, he asked if either of them had been lumpy, I said yes and that the lower one itched sometimes. Apparently if you have a mole long enough your body can develop antibodies to the mole and it can disappear altogether. I have to admit, it explains why the two I had on my neck have vanished and one I had on the back of my hand. Freaky huh.

Aaaanyway, blabbering really. Going to go browse t'internet a bit more and relax before hubbie cooks us some tea.
