Took a while to find lil' dust pan, but did get some movement while strolling around the house searching! Trash bag is downstairs on porch. I challenged myself to remain upright, open the freezer and start pulling things out to toss. I also found an old square decorative pillow in the back room that was in the closet and has kitty litter dust and streaks all over it from rodent activity . Putting it in the trash even though inner voice is screaming that I could wash the cover and the insert or at least use the insert!!!!!!!!!! Out it goes anyway... Next step: Take the pillow and the old clothes downstairs and put in trash (this is hard, but going to do it!!)

Ok - grand finale time -
Took the clothes and pillow downstairs. Found a few more freezer items to toss (so hard!! but if a package has been in there since 2017 and I haven't used, why would I now suddenly use? It's not gonna happen, so let it go...)
I went back to the closet upstairs and found an old tote bag from a college reunion that was ripping apart and a plastic dry cleaner bag and hanger to toss.
FINALE STEPS: Kitchen trash and all freezer items into big trash bag Clothes and pillow into trash bag (so hard!!) Put on clothes and shoes Find $3 on desk Load magazines and trash bag into car Find keys and drop off trash and recycling!!!

Trash & recycling have left the building!!! Yeehaw!
Added 2 more magazines to make an even 25 and am glad I went for it and threw away the pillow and old useless clothing items because now they are gone. And freezer stuff! Probably more in there that can go, too.
Brought kitty litter in from car, too.
NEXT: Enjoy the silence once the din of the trucks is gone Take a short break Make something to eat Get dressed for a walk

wow I am really proud of you Seapony! I hope the walk lift your spirits!
I have started my online check in, and need to finish up.
I am feeling kind of hurt because M and another friend went up to HW without me today. I am so dang tired of rejection. I need to focus on doing things that will make me proud of myself and raise my self-esteem.

Back in my warm comfies AND went downstairs to the porch to get my warm socks - big deal because I would normally not feel like it and then not want to get up because my feet are cold.
NEXT-ugh - need to deal with kitty pan right now... Find paper towels (I see some on bureau!) Empty water in pan Wipe down with paper towels Rinse thoroughly Let dry propped up in tub for a bit Then wipe down to dry Put pan back in room Fill with litter
Oh - and I brought the litter upstairs and all the way back to the kitty pan room when I came home from my walk. There was hesitation and resistance (oh I can get it later), but I did it!! And took it all the way back, didn't just leave it at the top of stairs like I really wanted to !

Ok - pan is washed and drip drying and I laid spread the old shower curtain out again (neatly) for the pan to be put on when it's ready.
I also challenged myself to go downstairs and get a dark trash bag from the cupboard, bring it back upstairs and put two old VHS tapes and 3 old shirts (all came from my mom's house because I can't let other people let go of their stuff, either!!!) in the bag for donation. Should have put it all in today's trash!
Next - quick break and then dry off kitty pan and fill with litter so cat can use it!

Thanks for the hugs Seapony (and GoldenThreads) I appreciate it!
I made an actual meal and I felt better.
Cleaned up from that. picked out something to wear and changed into it. Forewent (?) the shower; too much to deal with today.
Now to unpack and/ or organize the RV. I think I'll set up the card table as a staging are. Its a bit complicated because some of my clothes are downstairs in the garage. I should probably take a walk first. I've got a pretty big sleep deficit going, so what I really want to do is nap.

Good job on taking care of the litter! I laughed about your overcoming resistance to taking the effort to get those warm socks before it was too late. It's illogical and so much like me. Here was my thing. I used to go to bed later than I actually wanted to, because I was too comfortable and warm to get up and get dressed for bed. Night after night, for months years. So then I couldn't go to bed because I was too tired to change clothes, and I could not wear my jeans to sleep in! Eventually I did cure myself of this by setting an alarm just for changing, not going to bed (the "pajama alert") for 9:30 (a time when I was still responsible), and then I was able to trust myself to not need the alarm anymore after a few more years of using it. I've noticed lately that you've been thinking about and doing things for Future You, and this is another example of that.

Hi goldenthreads - great way to break a bad habit!! Great job organizing the RV mylittlescholar! I've been dozing, watching netflix and eating tortilla chips and bites of cheddar cheese for the past few hours. Still have the headache - argh. Thankfully, I did get up and dry and fill the cat pan.
