I always do that… 😇
My house isn't a dirty place. I know it's not as sparkling clean as some houses I know. It has its dust, its sand, its "messy" areas. But, it's not that bad that you stick to the ground, or that you leave traces in the dust when you move around. 😉I know that, when my depression and/or pain levels are worse, that my house will become "less clean" than I usually keep it. And, there are times, when my body feels OK enough, and my ADHD gets tickled, and I will try to do all the cleaning that I missed out on in one go! (Which obviously never works out too well... 🫣). But... When I know that I am getting visitors, expecially when they are people that are important to me, then I will go into a "crazy mode", starting the week before the planned visit. Even if I hurt, even if I am dead tired, I will do all that I can to clean the house as best as is possible for me. I don't always succeed to my own expectations, I feel bad when I notice that I missed things, or things that I had done already have become dirty again... And I always apologize to my visitors when I feel I should have cleaned better... 😞 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/04/15/i-always-do-that-%f0%9f%98%87/

Quietly
The disquiet grows
“I ain’t going nowhere” it says
Ok, fine, stay
But I ain’t no fool
I have my stategies, you know,
To deal with the likes of you
Many strategies in fact
One comes to mind
I will start ignoring myself
Little by little, inch by inch
Every passing day
Until one fine day I wake up
And find the world’s no more
Survive that, O disquiet!!
The new uncomfortable normality
No Worries? Australian attitudes to national security, risk and resilience (report): National security starts at the front door – not at the territorial borders.
"For most Australians, the 18-month research project revealed, national security starts at their front door – not at the territorial borders of the island continent. It showed they are worried the country is not prepared for the demands of a volatile 21st century in a polluted information ecosystem, where the rules-based international order is crumbling, economic precarity has become uncomfortably normal and trust is more fragile." >>
