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.

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.

Any pictures I've ever posted have been carefully composed/cropped so it doesn't look like a shot from Hoarders. (Okay, we aren't THAT bad, but we have too much crap and no place to put it in a very small house.)

All of my clutter is well-hidden, Connie.

So I have terrible PMS. Compounded by it being February, and everything being covered in ice, it's been unbearable. For supper I order a meat pizza & ate most of it. I am too full and in digestive distress, but my mood? 300% better.

Also, this picture of Oz is making my day. His little face kills me. [link]

Oz!

I'm not very cluttered since I doubled my living space last year. So I can recommend that!
