Remember a couple of weeks ago as I was cleaning out the room under the stairs, I noticed that a lot of mail and other documents were dated 2002 and 2003? Well, last night I was going through old snapshots deciding which ones I could discard. I could see in those photos, the absence of extra junk on tables, bookcases, countertops, etc. This made me curious to try to determine when the clutter began to build. I thought back to what was going on in my life in 2003. That was the year that I had a hysterectomy in February. For about 6 months before the surgery I was sick a lot of the time, needing to lie on my back with my feet elevated. As a result, I wasn’t able to go through junk mail or anything else that wasn’t essential. After the operation, I was tired for months. I went back to work half-time after 5 weeks and then full-time a couple of weeks later. After an 8-hour day, I would come home and it was all I could do to make dinner some days and sometimes I couldn’t even manage that. It was just about a year before I felt that I had my energy level restored to normal. It seems to make sense that it was the time when it began and I just was never able to get caught up – which I’m trying to do now.
