hi everyone -
glad to find the new home, and - best of luck and many good wishes to PigPen on this next step of her life journey.
I took pics of my apartment a year ago - and while some areas are better, some are worse - my cleanups, clear ups don't last that long (though some things are getting easier)
So my current focus is to work through the Hoarding book by Steketee and Frost - my workbook is arriving this week, and i've already given my therapist the Therapist Guide.
I like this plan because it has homework - I have to say, my SS Sibs and other things have certainly helped clear some mind clutter, so i feel cabable of making another committed effort.
my homework this week is to Maintain my porch "Garden of Repose" (which i cleaned and vacuumed last weekend) and with any extra energy/time to Pick Up Trash in my living room. I am also not supposed to Add Any More Trash, unless it's in a garbage can.
I just wanted to let familiar faces know where i'm at, currently - and to give anyone else an idea of what my focus is - in changing habits, lifestyles, etc i'm learning that if at first, you don't succeed, try again.

Dear Toadlily,
Glad you are here. Congrats on your plan, it seems sound and workable. Every time someone "tries again", it inspires me to do the same. Thanks.

hi toadlily;
I'm with you; need to learn to maintain and stop undoing all the progress I make. Please keep us posted how it's going with the frost/steketee books. Great that you have a therapist who is willing to work with you on that. Glad you're here; i recognize your name from SS and it's good to see familiars here.
