yupyup. My place isn't dirty but it's super cluttered because depression. it bugs me but...yeah.
Weird story..I'm not a depressed person like I've never really had issues with it yet if the house is dirty or things are out of place it drives me crazy it like sets off my OCD and I have to fix it or I don't feel right and it throws off my whole day.

I don't have OCD but seeing mess/clutter makes me extremely anxious. Depression makes me incapable of dealing with it though, it's like I lock up and don't know where to start or why I should even bother. It's stupid but :shrug: I've been doing a lot better lately though so it's not as bad as it could be.

We've been using Marie Kondo's little tricks to declutter and clean and it's helping a ton. I think it also gives direction so instead of being like "i'm depressed so I don't want to do this thing that I need to figure out how to do" it's like "Marie says to thank ugly sweaters and then donate them and that's specific so let's do that."

Trying to decide what to do for the rest of the day. I could remain on here, but it looks kind of dead right now. I could leave and go shopping or the casino, but it's cold and that's spending money. I could do the ginormous list of chores that's backed up, but it's kind of the last thing I want to do. Napping or reading is also a good non-productive use of my time. Decisions, decisions.

So...a little off topic, but how often do you guys vacuum and mop your floors?
Not nearly as often as I should. Usually when I see too many balls of dog hair I know it's been too long.
I'll send you the link to the one I wanted to pick up if you want. I thought it was a pretty sweet deal. You might think different though.
Sure I'll take a look. Thanks.

only when there's blood to be cleaned up
I think I've seen you on that ID channel show "Evil Lives Here."
