I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Relatedly, is it possible that my feet have gotten bigger

Yes. My feet are a size and half longer than they were in my 20s. It's not uncommon for people to wear a size longer in their 50s than their 20s.

I bet my house is more hoarder than yours. Also, I thought cleaning the bathroom would get rid of the funny smell. It didn't.

If it's a mass-produced magazine that's easily available, I put the old ones in the recycling bin.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Shrift, I'm so sorry to hear it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just have too much stuff.

And I don't know what to do with it all. To the point where there is obvious trash that sits around in front of me.

I know that I don't even want to spend 15 minutes every day looking for stuff to leave the house . Or even 5.

The christmas corner is still up

sigh

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

the rest of you have no idea of the swirling vortex of chaos that is my home.

I hope the rest of you have no idea of the swirling cortex of chaos that is my home. If you do know, please continue pretending you do not.

I'm attempting microwave pressure cooker chili - that should feed me for a while if it works out. It's questionable because I am only sort of following the recipe, and starting with frozen meat rather than thawing it out overnight in the fridge, which always seems like a bit of a gamble,

The words "microwave pressure cooker" sound like "explosion" to me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We manage to keep the living room, kitchen and bedroom pretty uncluttered, but the guest room and the office are so full of stuff that it's making me crazy. I WISH MY HUSBAND WOULD AGREE TO THROWING OUT SOME OF HIS ENDLESS CAR-RELATED CRAP. Um, I mean, we are currently discussing ways to lessen the clutter.

Eh, my home is a bit messy but not too bad (other than my closet). Otoh, I am single with no spouse or kids. It's easier (and I'm gone and don't cook)

And I don't know what to do with it all. To the point where there is obvious trash that sits around in front of me.

The only reason I finally am getting rid of a lot of things that I've just let sit around for ages is that I'm anticipating a move. What's disheartening is that I feel like I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff, and yet it doesn't appear to be making a dent in my current amount of stuff.

I know, right? But now that I have one and have tried it out, I kinda love it. And I have great confidence in its safety features - thick, sturdy plastic, a three or four different safety vents, it seems well-designed.
