I am unemployed, broke, tired of dealing with problems, working my ever-lovin' butt off trying to solve them, BUT...
Somehow, I kept going alllllllll this time, through alllllllll these problems, through all this working in a hundred different directions. And while I am unemployed, broke and tired of dealing with problems and solving them, guess what?
I ALSO HAVE, EXCEPT FOR MY BEDROOM, A SPOTLESS APARTMENT AFTER 35 YEARS OF CLUTTER-QUEENING IT!
Yes, that's right. I'm in shock, too. I come in the door and look around and really can't believe it's MY place, because it has never ever ever been this clean...not through all my apartments, not through all my houses, nuthin'. My "can't take this anymore and I'm DOING it THIS time" finally kicked into gear.
So what I really need now is a few YAY PAPERPILERs, YOU CAN DO ITs...because I have my bedroom left to do and there is a lot of paper and clutter in there. I'm sorting as I go. I'm hoping to have it completely done in the next week or two. I'm maintaining elsewhere as I go. But no one in my family (that doesn't live with me) seems to realize the magnitude of what I've accomplished. Kinda frustrating to hear, "Oh. It looks nice" after 35 years of struggling every single day since I was a teenager, and crying and hating this and doing something and watching it go back to where it was the next day. (You all know what I'm talking about.)
Can I get a cheer or two to keep me motivated, please? I'm in for the final push...and I'm SHOVING.
And I have a digital camera on my phone only. Is there any way to send pics that way to the board? Or just to other phone numbers as photo/text messages? I am electronically challenged.
Thanks!!!

Yay paperpiler! That is an amazing feat - don't let anyone make you feel that it's not!
As far as the pictures, you can email them to yourself and then post them somewhere like photobucket or flickr.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This feels GOOD.
To anyone who thinks it can't be done...keep going. It may not take as short a time as you want it to take. You may stumble and fall a gazillion times (I SURE DID). But IT IS POSSIBLE.

Good going, paperpiler! The bedroom may look intimidating right now, but you can get it cleared out. I'm impressed at how you got the rest of the house cleared, and maintained it, no less. Great job!

That's why I posted it. I even said to my grown child just a while ago, "You do know it's a huge deal that I'm finally going to have a spotless place after all these decades?" And this child...who I am VERY close to...said to me, "Yeah, I know." So I have to get my strokes SOMEWHERE!!!!!
