 I am back after a bit of an absence. I had been keeping things fairly spiffy the past few years. Then around Christmas life got in the way. Lost my dad suddenly. Housekeeper moved away. Flare-ups of a chronic pain issue. Aside from keeping up with the dishes and laundry I haven't made any major efforts to keep things clean and organized since then. Clutter is piling up. Floors are filthy. Dust and fur is making me cough and sneeze. DH bought me a cordless stick vacuum in hopes that I would do something, anything, to mprove things around here! (I haven't used it once) So I have been sitting here for past couple hours trying to get started on the kitchen but anxiety is keeping me glued to chair. I finally got the kitchen sink shined and polished a la Fly Lady and decided maybe some time on SOS Working-in Threes would motivate me. So if I can track down that thread you will find me there (hopefully)!

cleanbee: I'm so sorry to hear that your dad passed away unexpectedly. Losing one's parent is bad enough at any time, but I believe that when it comes unexpectedly, the shock of it makes the whole situation worse!
I'm glad that you have returned to the board. You know that you can count on support and understanding here.
You have my utmost sympathy and empathy in the loss of your father.
Arid

Hi cleanbee it is so good to see you back! You were the very first person to respond to me when I started posting here over 14 years ago. When you stopped posting I often thought about you and hoped that you were doing so well and were living your best life. 
I am very sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your father. Life is easily derailed under such sad circumstances. I hope you are finding some comfort in good memories of him. And chronic pain issues can really knock you back. Even the daily upkeep of a home slides back very quickly when you have trouble anywhere in your body.
I'm sure posting again, even with tiny wins, will give you motivation and lift your spirits.  back!!!
