They are so powerful, these little pieces of disposable fiber. Who knows what kind of devastation one might find there. Every moment of procrastination increases the dread 10 fold. Eeek! Prior to COVID I was actually keeping up pretty well. Then I was terrified for the world and I reverted back to my worst years. Still trying to establish a routine again.
More laundry. Sorting socks. Sorted some more papers.
Thanks for the empathy, oust! We are not alone!

grasshopper Chiming in to say that I knew exactly what you meant and a little bit how you felt when you started with "I am touching papers." I have some dread, too. And I don't want help from others because a lot of the stuff is too personal. I'm hoping that time has made some of the papers easier. missjean It's that time of year when you can put the snow things away. Hurray! oust Good job on ousting those crumbs and finding the glasses. Pulled dandelions for 6 minutes. The good news is doing it didn't hurt the way it did last year, so I guess I'm in better shape. The bad news is there are hundreds more to go. I'm going to make this a nearly daily thing. Brought in a bin from collection. Let broth cool and put it away. Make tire appointment. Check in online for medical appointment. Make a list of questions and statements for tomorrow's appointment. Go for a walk.

We dropped the key to the side of the fridge and couldn't reach them. as we pulled out the fridge the sugar and rice i keep on top in plastic containers fell. I about flipped out. So then i had to grab the vacuum and clean it all up. Not what i wanted to do. But i did get a look under the fridge and lets just say thats another nightmare waiting to happen. But not today! Took a 10 minute short walk to get out and calm down Wrapped hoagies in the food saver bags and froze most of them Vacummed a little more. Rice grains travel. and... i cleaned and empied in the trash the contents of 2 glass dishes that had been hiding on the balcony for a few months. I got overwhelmed with all the dishes and just put them outside to get rid of them a few months ago. Sometimes its just too much trying to keep up.

I want to get back to a routine of day to day stuff and get to a few projects. I want to clean out my bedroom clutter and have someone come in to fix my shower. The handle leaks . I want to go from two handles to one and improve the shower head. This might need a real plumber and then someone to fix the tile. But for my listzilla I will post 1-2-3 Moved some things from tabletop to hall bath medicine cabinet Ordered groceries-put away Took out the kitchen garbage.

Hi, missjean! I don't think my cutting board ever became a catapult, but enough stuff fell off it that my dogs trotted into the kitchen every time they heard the first chop. Ouch on the key/fridge action, oust. I'm sure the walk was the best thing you could do afterward. Good job getting the hoagies frozen. Yay, grasshopper, for the paper touching and sorting! Howdy, beesnest! Good to see you again. Really tired even after having had a very long nap this afternoon--should be a good night's sleep. Granting myself permission in advance to do only the basics tomorrow. I predict the booster shot will have the same zapping effect on me as last time. Got another COVID booster. Went to grocery store to get a few things for an improved diet. Did stretches. tomorrow Make tire appointment. Buy gas if I go out.
