I am once again attempting to clean and organize my house. How is it that I do this every couple weeks, but the house never quite gets clean and organized? I don't have the energy/stamina/focus to tear through the place and do it all in a weekend, and doing "a little bit at a time" seems to just keep me bailing as the flood rushes in the boat.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I feel you, Zen. Fortunately, I'm at a stage of "Once I get rid of X, I will never have to deal with X again." It's the dishes and laundry that oppress me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank goodness I was talking to my mother about work, because I came up with exactly the thing I was missing! It still needs more work, but not more than I can do tomorrow, so that's good.

I need to reorganize the entire house sometime between now and the ltc's due date. Selling some things on ebay would probably be good too. I have no idea where to start.

I hear you, Zen. I've actually made visible progress this weekend, but it's so small compared to what needs to happen. Bailing while the boat fills is an apt metaphor.

You guys know I love supporting public television as much as the next person, but I am so annoyed they made the Great British Baking Show finale a pledge special!

I feel better knowing it isn't just me, anyway... I felt like I'm failing utterly at something everyone else can handle with no problem.
Relatedly, is it possible that my feet have gotten bigger? I found three pairs of shoes that I used to wear at the office all the time, and they're about a half-size too small now. I know I didn't walk around in too-tight shoes! Maybe gaining a lot of weight made my feet spread out. I dunno, but those shoes are going to the Goodwill.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ha ha ha no. The only reason our house even pretends to be clean is so we're not humiliated when the cleaners come once a month.

I can't comprehend ever living in a house as uncluttered as some of the pictures I see of you folks' houses.

Me too, Jesse. I'm glad I started watching late so I could fast forward.
