Oh yeah, that's part of it too--I feel so much better when the house is clean. But so hard to motivate to do it when it's not!
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Our wings are not tired.
It hasn't worked out for me, but I have known people that had buddy systems for house cleaning. Where they would join forces with a friend and do both places. One person may like laundry more than floors and/or kitchen more than baths so they split stuff up that way.

My motivation this year has been pretty much devoted into sobriety (10 months, 12 days!)
That is wonderful to read! Very proud of you. I know it ain't easy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It is wonderful to see you here, Strix. And wonderful to see that you have progressed so far in your sobriety.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Thank you! The first months were hard, but I'm toddling along quite happily now WRT no pills. But sober, depressed and anxious is LOADS better than fucked up, depressed and anxious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad to see you here, Strix, and I'm glad you're doing so well!

Very glad for the update Strix, though I wish sobriety had helped with the depression and anxiety. I've missed your pixels.
ION, I slept like utter CRAP last night. And work processes are running s...l...........o...................w so far this morning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I overslept, and I'm kind of dizzy from fasting and don't really feel safe driving, so I'm watching a livestream of Yom Kippur services. This feels weird.

If anyone else wants to be at services and can't, or just is curious, livestream here: [link] It's a Reform synagogue, so the prayers are mostly in English, with a few Hebrew ones mixed in.

I hope you are able to break your fast and feel better soon, Hil.
