Three days worth of dishes are sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for me to get them done and, because of my horrible state of mind, I never did get around to them. It is my intention to do them this morning as soon as I can gather myself together. The last thing I want to happen is for me to be intimidated by them. If I rinse them first and stack them neatly, they will not look so unsurmountable. When you do get around to doing something finally, you do have to have a good method of attack.
I do have to nostalgically look back on the weekend now when doing any kind of chore was a piece of cake. I did not have to sit here and contemplate doing any of them beforehand, but without giving them much thought just went ahead and did them. Now it seems that I am agonizing over them and I am not proud of that attitude. I have to find the motivating factor and I think I will invite the Exfactor over for coffee and get things done before he gets here. That will be like a stick behind the door.
I am not going to pretend that I am happier than I am. I feel fairly down in the dumps and the worst thing I can do is act like that is not the case. That does not mean that I am going to wallow in my misery, but that I am acknowledging that things could be better than they are. I do not feel helpless because I assume there is a solution to my pasrticular difficult situation. I just have to go through the process of finding out which one it is and I do have to keep in mind when the days were better than this.
At least I do not have the awful stomachache I had yesterday, although I do have some discomfort and have stopped drinking coffee and have switched to ice water. In my misplaced frugality, I have been using the same tall glass for three days and I think it is about time that I start using a clean one. It is possible to take things to an extreme. Luckily, or should I say, unfortunately, I have not used all the same dishes for three days which has caused the big stack of them.
I think before I do anything, I will go back to bed and sleep some more to get a better start. The morning is young atill and there is no need to rush.

Well! I am so sorry that you're feeling the way you do. I can commiserate, because I'm feeling the same way. Sadly! Grrrr!
My stack of dishes is only one day old, and I hope to get to them later today.
It is -45°C (that's -49°F) t mid-morning. What a perfect excuse to go back to bed! I hope you sleep well.
Blessings and Bear hugs.
whenever i feel down and out, i would let the music blare through the house and busy myself doing household chores. washing dishes would be a good start, then fixing the cabinets and cupboards, ironing clothes, dusting, scrubbing the bathroom floors, etc. it keeps my mind off my depression and when i see the things i have accomplished, it makes me feel better and happy.
