Hope a little tidying has helped. I understand. My working life takes so much out of me at the moment that, on my days off, housework is the last thing I feel like doing.

I always vacuum my carpet. It's light-coloured. I put on some music, and Hoover and do my dishes and those small things give me a sense of being more on top of things.

Don't be discouraged. We all understand. I've seen some of the thoughtful support you've given to other members here.
