I need to just throw away all my orphan socks. I keep telling myself that it will be much easier to sort my socks if I only have known pairs, but I imagine that there are orphans silently screaming "No! My mate isn't missing! It's in the other room, for the love of god, don't leave us separated!"
I should probably avoid anthropomorphizing cloth.

You're not alone. I anthropomorphize everything.
Maybe that's why I like Marie Kondo's book so much. She treats everything as if it has a spirit, which comes rather naturally to me.
Bagel has been consumed, and now I have to go pay my car taxes, which are not late but are due today.
Thank you for the reminder to move laundry.
Thank you for the reminder to *do* laundry. It's been that kind of week.
I put another load in before I left. My problem with laundry right now is the lifting and carrying.
Done with work for now. Time to go fold laundry. Then I think I'll use the UFYH app to help me get some stuff taken care of.
Car tax semi-fail. When I got there I only had checks left in the joint checkbook, not my personal checkbook. So, now I owe the joint account money.
I cut the toes off orphan socks and use them for mitts in cold weather. My hands get cold even indoors, and typing's easier in fuzzy hand warmers. Skin and joint issues make fingerless gloves problematic sometimes when working. But repurposed orphan or worn-at-the-heel socks are loose enough to work great.
I have been kind of productive.
Except for the part where I knocked water on to my keyboard and messed it up. My nice Corsair keyboard - but Igot the protection plan. Only catch is I have to take it to work and that's...I dont' know if I want to deal with that.
On the other hand I'm making progress cleaning off the desk. And trying to only put the water bottle I can close on here.
And I put the cans for redemption in my car, put the trash in the trash can, have wrangled the recycling (I forgot to put all that on Tuesday and the recycling last Tuesday so it's adding up). And I'm getting rid of stuff.
Some stuff is going to the Goodwill pile and some stuff is -these containers need to be washed, this rug is...screw it's going in the trash. Not responsible I guess but it's what is getting me through.
The dishes are taunting me. I was looking at them trying to decide if I could just throw any of the pots or bowls away and came away with no, I need them. Well probably not. But i don't want to washthem. I'm sure there's been stuff sitting there needing to be washed since the beginning of Feb.
I know my therapist wants me to find something to do outside the house and I've looked stuff is either - too expensive, too far away, or too much interaction with people. Gas is cheap enough I may just go for a drive on Saturday or Sunday depending on the weather.
