Man....I keep saying it's not a problem....but....I can't get the vacuuming done. My table is covered, and nothing seems to go back where it's supposed to go. Most of my problems started 5-6 years ago when I was in so much pain from my back. I would leave stuff on top of the cupboards( half of my stove can't be used) becouse it hurt too much to bend. It was after the surgery that things got even worse. Those list others have put here, yep, yep,

Plus I see so much stuff that could be used as art. Once when I was manic I hauled a car battery up ( I live in a one bedroom walk up) because yeah it would make part of a terrific art installation. I've a pile now in the living room and plan to call a junk removal service. They seperate things and give them to the places that need them and to recycling centers....but I'm so afraid because there are no prices. They come out and then tell you how much. I've not got a lot of money.so that scares me. Yet there's no way I can haul it out on my own.

Clothes!! I have three styles, one for manic, one for depression and normal and of course they all come in different sizes and I'm loath to get rid of all of them even though I know at 57 I'm not going to be wearing most of them ever again.

Sometimes I feel like just opening the balcony door and throwing it all over the railing. It would be nice and easy. ....if I could get myself to actually let go without saying, oh I'll find a use for that.
