Weird, isn't it? Just how much better it makes you feel?

I was supposed to meet my mum today, but she's not feeling too good. So I'm home instead, and I've thrown myself into tackling under and behind the sofa.

I've also looked into the cupboard a bit, just to assess the situation. It wasn't as bad as I had imagined. And I really don't have too much to do in there to make it nice and super functional.

Anyway, under and behind the sofa was a place I used to put stuff when I was at the beginning of this whole process, well over a year and a half ago now. So I've been pulling stuff out, having a quick look over and binning or donating some of it.

I've been listening to some of 'The Minimalists' podcasts as I'm doing it.

I still feel a little angsty and overwhelmed by it. But some of the stuff that I had obviously struggled with last time and kept last time seems downright odd now. Was I really so out of my mind? Or has my peace of mind and clarity increased so much? Or maybe there's a bit of both happening?

I've also been for blood tests this morning. My doctor is checking if I'm anaemic or if I have something up with my thyroid. Should have the results of the test on Friday and then we'll decide on what to do (if anything).
