Tuesday

Tuesday's declutter: I recycled an envelope, then paid two bills and recycled their envelopes and inserts.

Results: I forgot that I got a FREE can of cat food last week at the store because it wouldn't scan so the checker just let me have it!

Have done EFT for three days. Yesterday the tension continued to be gone from my face and eyes. It is amazing how much tension I was holding without my awareness. It took release of it to recognize it. Last night, however, all my sinuses ached severely for five minutes or so after tapping. This morning same thing only it's less severe and lasting longer. The e-book said it might get worse before it got better, so I view this as a sign of progress.

And, I just saw something about my past that I hadn't connected to my present before, so it's working in other ways as well. One thing that is common with nearsightedness is an unwillingness to "see" unpleasant things as a child or adolescent. "Unpleasant" can cover a wide range of events depending on a person's sensitivity. The tendency translates into poor vision and a focus on details. Farsighted people tend to see only the big picture, in contrast. It's exciting to think that I may get rid of old hangups and just physically feel freer of tension.

Sunday/Monday

Sunday: I put away Saturday's laundry, and that is about all I did. Maybe recycled a newspaper or two, though I think that was Saturday night.

Monday: Today I had energy again so this afternoon I took back the library books, recycled ink cartridges (and one plastic bag), and returned 24 cans and bottles. I also recycled the bottles I couldn't return - about 10 of them.

Mental declutter: I started some EFT exercises for vision improvement. EFT is Emotional Freedom Techniques, and it's based on acupuncture meridians. Anyway, I had a wonderful release of tension in my eyes and face, and more surprising, my mood shifted to a radically better place than it had been! I'm excited to keep doing it and see what happens :)

Results: I got a check today that I'd been expecting. Yay! Also got a FREE pizza from Domino's thanks to my complaint about the pizzas I got a couple weeks back. And of course, the cans and bottles netted me $1.20. OH! And I was in line behind a guy who was cashing in a $160 winning lottery ticket! He said it was small change and I just laughed and congratulated him. It was nice to be around someone who got a windfall!

My mood has stayed up ever since the morning's EFT experience. It's been a really good day!

Thursday - Saturday

I don't remember if I decluttered anything much on Thursday or Friday. I read all day on Thursday, except for a couple hours of remote work. Might have done some dishes. I worked Friday all day, so that was sort of a bust, though I think I recycled a piece of paper when I got home :)

Today, however, I have been cleaning. I picked up the clothes in my room and put away sheets I hadn't folded from doing the laundry oh, three weeks ago? Also put away towels and put clean sheets on the bed. I cleaned the catbox, then did some filing a little later, and took out the garbage and some recycling on my way to the laundromat. I took out the remaining recycling after doing the laundry, and organized my cans and bottles to return tomorrow. Finally, I did dishes. There's lots more to do but it's amazing how picking up a few clothes can make a place feel clean. The big job for tomorrow is sweeping the floors.

Oh yeah, I recycled four or five newspapers before taking all the stuff down.

Results: I got an extra hour in at work yesterday, which meant a bigger check than I had expected. If all goes well I should be going in there twice a month going forward, which will be helpful. Also got a call about a temp job. It wasn't right for me but it's good that they are calling me again. I'm feeling good today and just enjoying the sunny, breezy day and the energy to clean :)

Oh, I almost forgot, my tenant emailed me Wednesday night that he could do some work for me and had someone interested in the empty unit! I have yet to hear from the interested party, but I'm hopeful!
