I'm sure a food bank would take food.
Odds are probably pretty good, you'd think. I just don't know where any are, off the top of my head. I don't *think* I've seen barrels in supermarkets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I get irritated about how what is essentially a hick town thinks of itself as so far ahead of the curve on everything. But maybe there is a grain of truth in Olympia's self-image.

The tangerine-orange in that skirt is lovely.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Some of those might appeal to bob bob, ita.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
One downside - now that the filth is semi-conquered, the clutter is more obvious and dismal. How does that even work?
I do not know, but you have just described our house.
t edit I mean, remember my carefully annotated photo of the crap on the dining room table? [link] It's not like the table is the sole repository of clutter. HELLS no. Anything with a vaguely horizontal surface gets shit stacked on it. It's like there's no point to clearing anything off, because as soon as we do, NEW shit gets stacked there.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We usually hover around the border between "Pigsty" and "There's a floor in here somewhere". Today, I'm working to get it to "Wow, you have a lot of books."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The skirt color is gorgeous, ita. And you can throw whatever ratty things you want on top of it and the total effect will still be stunning, because that's the inevitable sum of gorgeous skirt + ita.
The fridge is conquered. Now the kitchen floor looks dirtier than ever. One more sweep, vacuum the hallway, blot up the remaining glaring food spills in the living room, scrub down the shower curtain and tub after my shower, swab the kitchen floor, and off to Papou's for a refreshing afternoon of laundry (fortunately, punctuated with mac'n'cheese, gardening, and checking his orange tree for anything ready to harvest).
eta: I mock your tabletop, Tep. There are actual visible expanses of tabletop around the corners of the stacks. The kitchen table cleanup I bragged about before? Our "after" looks exactly like your "before."

The only reason there is open tabletop in that picture is so the fat cat can perch/loaf. She kept knocking stuff off, so we learned to leave her a small open space.

Less than two hours to go, then I can go home and get my nap.
