Feeling Sorry For Myself Today

[GryffinSong]

I'm really tired. My rig is so cluttered I can't stand it. I worked all day yesterday on decluttering, bought some more storage, and am still not there. I'm not sleeping well because this campground is near traintracks and the darn trains toot their horns at all hours. Was awakened after five hours of sleep by a half dozen fighter jets. Gorgeous things, but LOUD! And it makes me wonder why they're up there. Reminds me that our country is at war.

And now I have a migraine coming on.

I don't know if it's subconscious thoughts coming up about turning 50, or being alone on my birthday tomorrow, or if it's just the lack of sleep. Or other. But I feel really sad today, and my migraines tend to last for three days, so I'm worried about that.

Anyone got any cheerful thoughts they can send my way?

Thanks.

Thank you Jo1!!! I think I need to take it easy today and do a little more decluttering. I thought I'd made so much progress yesterday (and I probably did) but you know that old adage that you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet? That's how I feel, but the omelet's getting WAY too big!

First of all.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRYFFINSONG!!!!! That's awesome that it's your 5oth birthday!! Praise God that you are healthy and alive!!! Getting older is hard for some people. I hit my 40th last year but I decided to think of how I felt inside not how I looked outside or the number. I feel much younger in spirit so why worry about it!! I'm very sorry that you do not have people around you on your birthday. That stinks!! Maybe you could make/buy something for yourself and invite one of the other campers over to celebrate with you? They might be lonely too.

Sorry also about the miagraine. I get those too so I know what you are going through. Not nice! I pray it goes away quickly . Maybe you should just take it a bit easier today so you don't aggravate it and make it worst. Stop stressing yourself out over your age and the mess and it will probably ease up some . Maybe changing campgrounds to a more peaceful one would help too!!!

As for the decluttering...BRAVO for you for taking the big step and actually starting the process . Don't try to do it all at once or you will only get discouraged with it and give up. Just set realistic goals for yourself. Like perhaps you can tell yourself...my goal today is to get the kitchen cupboards cleaned out, or to clean the fridge, or to clean out that storage closet. Just pick one major job in a day because there is always the everyday things that still need to be done as well. If you need help staying motivated you might want to join flylady.net? It's a organizing/decluttering site. I joined and it's helping me get my house in order. I don't do everything she says but she pushes and reminds me to get off my butt and do something, even if it's just something little. Just remember, the mess didn't get there in a couple of days so don't expect yourself to clean it all up in a few day!!

God loves us, wrinkles and all !! Blessing to you!

Thank you, Mask! I will definately check out that site and hope it can help. I've decided that my birthday present to myself is some more organizing things. I've seen some really pretty sets of drawers that go with some chests I bought yesterday. They can hold all those little things that tend to get lost. Scissors and tape and all that. I live fulltime in my RV, so space is very limited, making it harder to organize my stuff. I have WAY too much stuff for my small space!

Wow...living in your RV MUST be challenging!! Doesn't it get cold in the winter? Maybe it's not as cold there in USA, as it is here in Canada. Can't imagine living in an RV in the winter around here...BRRRRRR !! That sounds like a nice birthday gift to yourself. Getting organized sure does make a person feel better, doesn't it?
