Well, good news, and bad news. (Wait a minute, that grump sbtm has good news?!)
Good news is, I've been in my new apt 7 months. (God bless that I dont have to live with roommates right now). I've gotten some of the huge list of "do xyz" done. I like it here. I want to renew my lease another year or two if they dont raise my rent through the roof because I know I am not ready for maintaining a whole house by myself.
The bad news is, there's absolutely a pile of things that need doing that I'm not getting to. I guess I shouldn't have left here. The squalor is absolutely contained to closets, drawers, or a couple little "stacks" and the rest of the apartment stays organized/cleaned. Which, hell, I'm shocked at myself. But I thank you guys. If I hadn't learned tips/tricks/stop being so darn ashamed/ at the old place, I'd never have done what I needed to at the new place (and been in much worse shape getting there).
I do have a house keeper come in 2x a month, although I eventually want to have her stop coming (other reasons there, but for now I am not about to tell anyone get lost around the holidays.)
The garden is still about half alive- and i've cleaned up most of the other half which, hey it's winter and it was my first year *really* trying.
Anyhow though, I'm back because the big problems are
1. self..squalor. I need to go to the gym. I need to cook at home. I need to a lotta things.
2. Getting from 80% there (livable) to 100% there. - the drawers the closets the I should bolt that down, fix that shirt or toss it, etc, list that is growing and I dont "see" it because I now live in 800 sq feet all by myself. It's a lotta space! Easy to hide things and put them out of mind.
3. Getting other things done. Promised knitted projects, art projects, house projects, you get the idea.
So anyhow. Hopefully I wind up seeing some names I recognize.
