Hello @NatureLover I was up until 2am putting through washing but the intervention came to an abrupt end today. We achieved a lot in the time we had.
Bad headache tonight. Now I'll have to ease back into my routine (such as it is. I haven't had it long and it needs work.)
Hope your day went well.
Tomorrow I'll start again. Not sure what or how but probably chores.

@NatureLover my friend is extremely grateful for the hard work of the last week which makes it all worthwhile. I think it could take a couple of days for me to recalibrate and get going again. Feeling a bit shattered to be honest.

Wow, @Dimity , it sounds like you went above and beyond for your hoarder friend. Well done.
Can you give yourself a few days off? Sounds like you need a rest and some 'down time'...
I'm feeling down today and I told my friend I wanted to stop the Friday sortings for a while. I'm not coping with someone in my house (the germophobia). Plus I've run out of puff for the sorting. Instead I will just try to keep the house relatively neat.

Sorry you're feeling down @NatureLover . I guess it'll be too hot tomorrow for garden therapy.
I think I need a break too. Maybe we can share commiserations.

@Dimity Yes, way too hot for garden therapy although I need to do watering early before it gets hot.
I'm glad you can allow yourself a break. What will you do? Do you have some self care things you like to do, apart from your gardening?
I might do some sewing (mending) today. I still feel down and the house is a mess, although not too bad I guess compared to sometimes.

I was a couch potato most of the day tbh @NatureLover . Not feeling the best. During my years of depression I lost sight of self care activities and haven't really got back onto them yet. I got a big batch of washing done and cooked a veggie hotpot tonight so the day wasn't entirely wasted.
Ditto re the house being a mess. We'll get there.
I leave the sewing machine out for mending but should find somewhere to tidy it away.
