I've been faithfully cleaning the house every weekend, getting all the laundry done included. I also, 3-4 mornings a week, vacuum and straighten up before I leave for work. I fold the bed linens down neatly to "air" every single day.

Those bloody boxes full of un-opened mail going back 2 1/2 years are taunting the hell out of me, though. Unfortunately, I don't have a friend that can come over and help. I know virtually nobody where I live now. My SO is worse than I am - his desk drawers look like mini-hoarding stations. I looked in to hiring an organizer but I simply can't afford it. I need a motivation buddy! Somebody that will just be there, quietly, while I try to begin to tackle those boxes. I get so anxious just even thinking about it.
