I'm with "Heylady1". Burglars pull out everything. I wouldn't want the cops looking in my closets. Visitors always comment about my cleanliness. My mother thinks I'll die before her, and she's terminal. I've been considering how to remove "embarrassing" objects from my closet, just in case. They haven't been used in years. In the event I die unexpectedly, I'd hate for the fam to find them.
My mother threatens to call the police every three months, if she thinks my car hasn't moved and I don't call back in 3 days. My doors and windows were opened last time, so she let it go, this week. I'm not sure why I have to "check in", every 3 days, but it keeps her happy.

The thought is quite scary. It's part of the reason that I have stepped up my decluterring. If the police had to enter my house, they could barely get in the front door. I'd be on the evening news. Well, at least pictures of the inside of my house would be.

Yeesh. I used to have nightmares about people having to come in unexpectedly, especially my landlady or landlord (who live downstairs!). I used to stress about the police or the fire department having to come in, and my landlady having to open the door, and the whole mess being exposed to the world. The mess is still there, but it's... contained, I guess. The place looks sloppy, but not squalorous. I don't have that much of a clutter problem, but I tend to not put my stuff away when I'm done, and I leave my mail and my clothes unattended for much longer than I should. What used to cause the majority of my stress was the third-degree squalor where the cat pans used to be. Now, even though the floor in that room is ruined, I have mostly "hidden" it under furniture until such time as I can get it fixed. But yeah. I can relate to the anxiety about police/anyone else having to come in unexpectedly. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ol8ZmgLuDy5I7GVABf2f.gif) ~Mouse

proud to say that they can get in and out of my house safely- we have nurses and doctors and home care often now and I am so happy to say I have never had to apolgise re house-and some how through all that we are living I can keep the house up to A SAFE AND HEALTHY standard- and we hear good comments about how cosy and peaceful our house is--WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT I WOULD HEAR THOSE WORDS- SO NEVER THINK THAT YOU CAN NOT GET IT ALL TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER--l ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif)

Mouse, the landlord scares me ten times more than the cops Same here, reesa. My landlady and my landlord are my good friends, and live right downstairs. Of course they have a key and everything, and for a while I was constantly having anxiety attacks and nightmares about them coming in and finding the mess. The idea of having their regard for me plummet made my stomach twist in knots. I'm getting better, though. The apartment is messy, but not so much that I wouldn't let them in for an emergency. ~Mouse

That is very encouraging, Meme! Thank you for sharing that it is possible to overcome this squalor monster! ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/xitP0jPdwJqnxUGMSshO.gif)
