You're doing what you can, Sophia. Leave tomorrow's problems for tomorrow.
That is shocking, Jesse! How can that be?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Unpossible, Jesse! Are you sure you didn't miss the last 5 minutes where it was revealed that it was all a lie and he really WAS the villain?

Punishingly Intricate
I'm nowhere especially near where you are, but if checking in with you, or remote cheerleading for each space you clear or each thing you toss, or Venmo-ing a little something your way to help with the cleaning service would help you get through this, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would help however I can.
I am also more than happy to do any of these things! And I'm so glad you told your friend, Sophia. I'd want my dear friends to tell me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am also happy to help.

I'm happy to help, too.
I probably should do something on my giant To Do list this evening. But I did work all day, went through Open Enrollment, bought plane tickets for Thanksgiving, took out some recycling, and got groceries. Now that I think about it, that is plenty of stuff done. Flopping it is.

That sounds like a lot, shrift!
I am feeling headachey and my eyes are burning-tired. I blame having my eyes dilated earlier today. It's really too early to go to bed, but here I am again. But my bff gets into town for the weekend, tomorrow, so I'm super excited about that.

Sophia, it's amazing to read how much you are getting done and how much time and effort you are dedicating to facing this Everest of challenges. You can do this, and you *are* doing this, step by step. Go you! (I am also happy to chip in as well, if needed).
Feel better, meara.

I would also be glad to chip in, because I know you work on a tight budget.
I struggle with hoarding issues myself, so I feel you. Living with another (mostly) responsible adult is a great impetus towards keeping a lid on it. I could easily see myself turning into the sort of hermit who has little corridors between towering Piles O' Stuff.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks again. I am much less agitated than I was earlier this week, but still.
I finished the worst of the kitchen last night, but the floor is truly terrible.
I can't really do too much more bagging until some of the bags are removed. I think I might have to bite the bullet and take more than just one out a day! I was hoping to pay people, but I am not sure I can wait for the estimate and scheduling.
