I did the same thing - both at home and at work. Not only actual cleaning but cleaning out my email, old files, etc. and making lists (for myself and others). I think for me it was about control and taking charge of things that I knew I could do instead of focusing on something that was terrifying me (DS).
Thank you @newanatomy! That would be awesome if you would be my angel. Would you believe I didn't even think about cleaning out the fridge or grocery shopping until someone just mentioned it? My thinking is not cooperating for important things first.... I mean really.... Light fixtures?? UGH!! And I'm have had a really hard time sticking to the pre-op diet this weekend. I'm doing better today...... Evenings are the worst.
Is your surgery the 8th, Amey? Mines the 10th. I am feeling the same way..FEELING, but unfortunately the doing part isn't going so well. I see so much around me that needs doing and I'm feeling tremendously overwhelmed. Think deer in the headlights and you'd have it. I start something and that leads to another chore, then something else and on and on and nothing gets finished like it should. My concentration on anything other than surgery is horrible. Then my husband said, you need to show me how to transfer money into the grandkids account if needed while you're gone (he is in charge of a trust that was set up after both their parents died (since they are all minors). He's the trustee but of course it's me who does it all. So I have to figure out how to best work that, whether to have him try online or do it by phone. Probably won't be needed but better to be safe than sorry. Then I start thinking how he wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't here to pay the bills on a regular basis and maybe I should make a "monthly manual" for him to know what to do. Well you know where a persons mind can go. I will pay all June bills before I go so it shouldn't be a problem. We're having a quiet day, just as I wanted. I'm going to throw some protein on the grill and stock up for several meals. Hope everyone is having a good day.
Bingo...in my case anyway! Lol
