Thanks very much, phoenixcat. I need to keep in mind that Mt. Papier (which is actually numerous blobby bumps, bags, boxes, and sedimentary layers interspersed with other things, rather than one paper mountain) is the least emotional for me to rid. Back at it...

feeling already tired and sad about the decluttering process, however, DH is being very kind and supportive. Right now I'm focusing on the money I've spent on stuff. it's embarassing. Thus far this morning: [ ] YALOL (yet another load of laundry) start clearing out area by electric board in basement (so electrician can come on August 16) start making decisions about giving away lamps then [ ] brought up 4-5 trips upstairs from basement with various things to give/sell made decisions on some frames to give discussed which filing cabinets to keep/give [ ] next: need to be more aggressive in making decisions to give things away vacuum (to give myself a mental break from the decision making) try a steam cleaner to see if it works

Thanks, joyinvirginia! I am taking a break right now after carpet spot scrubbing TA DA: try a steam cleaner to see if it works This was a larger task than anticipated, involving other 3s: dissamble cleaned all pieces assemble attempt at spot cleaning (followed by unusual spraying out the sides of the thing) watch two videos on using the Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber, neither of which was tremendously helpful look up users manual disssamble reassemble (with cleaning solution in the proper part of the unit this time) retry hooray. it worked. addressed five spots from DS's puppy (an uninvited guest, btw). i see improvement. Other TA DAE (yes, that is my newly invented plural for TA DA): lunch, during which... discussed placement of a piece of art with DH major wipe up of floors where said uninvited guest peed numerous times while we were out of town

I started writing a WITs, only to find that I wasn't writing anything to do with WITs, but, rather, why I took what was probably a three-hour nap after doing various WITs. Well, the THREE-hour part of it has some relevance. I copied and pasted some of the above non-WITs rambling to the following. Not sure if it's possible to refer to other posts, but here goes... takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/thread/24984/acquiescence-accord-diary-disempowered?page=3&scrollTo=731175...I share the post with you because I am so moved by itsybitsy's thoughtful writing and suggestions. Thank you, itsybitsy! For now, I must get back to WITs: 1) Get my sorry, tired behind out of bed and back down to the basement 2) Start with vacuuming (it's the only household chore that doesn't fall on my spectrum of annoyance --> dislike --> hate etc.) 3) Put laundry in dryer

1) Got out of bed and back down to the basement 2) Actually never started the previous load of laundry, so finishing filling it and hit start 3) vacuumed 4) brought several items upstairs to sell/give 5) made decisions with DH on various frames to give/sell more vacuuming as entry point for decluttering chose one thing to give away chose one more thing to give away
