Update

Seems like it’s approaching time to try and step things up a gear.. I’m ranking much higher on the local housing register bidding system. I’d like staff to think I’m ready to move on when I get offered a place, so I need to start meeting all the criteria on the flat inspections each month.

Which, is of course, a demand I’m placing on myself. It’s a necessary demand, with a good reason, which helps.

I think I will need to offer myself patience as I try to make progress on this. I’ve gotten into a rhythm with tidying regularly, and usually hoovering as well. Now it’s mainly cleaning tasks left, and getting into a rhythm with those.

I’ve been using https://finchcare.com/ to give me reminders for these care task. I’ve set them up so it’s broken down into individual elements, so there’s ‘bathroom sink’ cleaning day, and ‘toilet’ cleaning day. Never having to tackle too much really helps.

I’m holding out hope that the Autism Support Worker referral turns into something useful – someone who can help me plan food that meets sensory and nutritional needs would be a big help.

For today, I’ve cooked vegetables with my meal, hoovered and just given the bath a clean, so that is something.
