Managing house & that out of sorts feeling.........

When your cold just does not go in spite of medication and gharelu nuskhe that you give up and decide to just live with it...
You realise that your untouchable immunity is not longer that...
You want to start on at least one of your New Year Resolutions - walking/jogging (see, how undecided you are about that too!)
But because of the first two reasons you can't bring yourself to take the first step out......
A look outside the window and the constant threat of rain makes you feel it's better to tackle some house work first.. only you can see everything as a blur......
All the home-reorganising and life-organising work you had pushed to Feb for the sake of Blog Marathon is left to pile up in every corner............
Every casual glance of eye shows rampant disorganization; hmm you've pushed matters too far
SHIT (somehow in time) and JIT (just in time) are the two philosophies taking over your life and productivity  outputs in everything of late........
You tend to do things that seem comfortable and follow the path of least resistance
And then you wonder why you are not happy or content with yourself, where is the challenge?
My suggestion to you is please get off your behind, stop any further contact with the couch and the comp......
And Madam, pl. stop checking your phone every 5 minutes or so............
Any earth-shattering events you will get to know sooner or later...
Work, work and work is the best medicine for the soul...
You make just discover you have a knack for organizing, that ironed clothes take up less space and save disgrace...
Your kitchen is actually white underneath, a little bleach will indeed make it shine......
You may have a lot to crib and no bonuses either but from this House Manager duty, it is v. difficult to resign.

PS: I will be back sometime.........

    Breaking up chores into smaller chores works wonders for me! It gets me started and that's what is important. Take breaks everytime you want to and for as long as you want, only make sure you get back to completing your goal for the day. My $0.2 from what I discovered works with me :)

The slow thawing

I realise I am inconsistent in lots of stuff and instead of my usual defensive spiel,  here is a quiet acceptance of that. Guilty of that and many more things....but not being disciplined tops the list. It shows how I take care of myself, how I keep order at home, how I generally mange myself and my world. How easy it is for me to not keep up to anything consistently....Its embarassing, its seen in the constant self-talk I have with myself. It shows up in stuff pending over the week and taking over weekend, it shows in the amount of dirt that came out of cleaning under the dish-washer, just one of those things which I had been forever planning to do; it shows in how I finally managed to paint my toe-nails after one year - sometimes there was no nailpolish remover; or nail polish itself; other times it was something I remembered just before bedtime or just when stepping out, hence no time to dry itself; sometimes I did remember but pushed it away for a bit and then forgot because so...

May 2013 - The Elusive One

Image
Think back to a month in your life. Do you remember any month or period specifically from the sweeping past or present? Maybe the month before the board exams, last month in the hostel eagerly awaiting to get back home, the month before you were getting hitched that was crammed with frantic shopping and plans on the side to run-away solo or when you were expecting your first baby, waiting for the moment and savoring the peace as you balance one of the last books you will read in peace on your tummy.. I seem to have always had conflicting emotions in every situation, constant yin-yang and the entire range in between. As a part of this group  celebrating our first anniversary on June 2, 2013, we were given a small challenge. Totally voluntary, I must add. The theme being 'The Elusive One'. One could choose to do something new, make a small change in your lifestyle, person..something you've been putting off for too long. You get the drift, move out of your comfort zones and ...

New Year Resolutions - Blogathon 2014 Post 1

Hello all! This is the first in the series of posts for the month of January, Blogathon initiative by Dreamy Mommy here . Today's prompt is New Year Resolutions. In fact, in my hastily scribbled end-of-year post I did touch briefly on this. In the last few years, I like to make resolutions or declarations, whichever, in writing. This is because in the course of steering one'e life through uncharted waters and all that, it is easy to land up someplace you simply did not intend going. My main compass-points for this year are - 1. Take one day at a time - each day is important, value it. 2. Move it, move it - So get moving in some way - a walk, a jog, yoga, dance... 3. Reflect before you speak and/or write. 4. Take responsibility for yourself and what you want to do, easy just does not do it. 5. Be thankful, be grateful, be positive and open-minded. Appreciate differences. 6. Put everything down and listen to my kids when they are talking - even if they are repeating ...
