Actually I have been getting some cleaning in! I'm pretty happy about it. I've been trying to force myself to spend just 10 minutes every day picking things up. It can be anything. Trash, laundry, books, whatever. Just 10 minutes & then I'm free to do whatever I usually do. It's been going well but it's only been a few days. My big project (remember, big is subjective) this week was to bleach the walls in my shower because, I'm ashamed to say, we had mold spots building up on us at the top near the ceiling. Our bathroom has very poor ventilation so this happens from time to time, but this was the worst I had ever let it get. So I finally tackled that & got it cleaned up. Of course, now my bathroom smells like bleach & gives me a headache when I shower, but at least the mold is gone.

Our garage is also a disaster, so my gf's project has been to slowly clean 1 or 2 boxes out at a time so we can go back to actually having a garage rather than a storage unit. She's doing well. It's very hard for her to let go of things, & she gets easily overwhelmed by the clutter, so I have to be really patient. I used to do everything for her, but I realized I wasn't helping her. She has to learn to deal with it herself or else she'll never get over the attachments she has to her stuff.

Anyway, that's me for now. Just going to keep plugging along 10 minutes at a time!
