My problem is that the older I get, the more visual I get -- if I can't see it, it doesn't exist, so I have to clothes in folded piles where I can see everything, and shoes within view (one way or another).
God this is me. My house is a mess, but the things that deeply annoy me right now are the excess number of water bottles and the number of bags that are all over my damn house.

This is a huge problem for me with ltc's clothes. She'll grow out of something before she has even worn it because I couldn't easily see it in the drawer when picking out her outfits.
I just pulled a bunch of shirts out of my closet because I haven't worn them since we moved and when I went through them I didn't find one that was "Oh, so that is where that shirt is", so out they go. Now to move them from the pile in my room to a donation center.
For the record, I never cleaned the bathroom or got work done yesterday. But I do feel good about bringing a bag to Goodwill! And I only brought home one sweater and two books.
Oh my good god, SNOW. This town is so unprepared for storms like this. There's just not enough *room* -- the borough dates back to the early 1700s, when you were parking your horse in a stable, not your car on a street.
That's it for winter, right? We're done now?

I believe that it's up to Mr. Groundhog to decide, next week.
Given the host of this mtg has not appeared and is under the contract with admin leave, I think this meeting is not happening.

Whatevs, you showed up and can charge the time!
I went out and shoveled for a while, then walked the dog. There's not actually that much more for us to shovel to connect up with what the construction company has plowed in the perpendicular alley. My arms/shoulders/back aren't up to doing it though! Other neighbors are out there, though, and Bob will be after his last meeting and teamwork will get it done!
if I can't see it, it doesn't exist
I've always been that way. I can erase entire rooms full of stuff from existence by just not looking through the door. Observer-created universe, baby.
I feel better today. But it won't last. Maybe a couple days. I usually get two-three depression-free days a month. I'd like an solution to this better than "hormones" and a vague hand-wave.
The bad: my alarm switched time zones on me and went off at 5am because it's a hateful electronic, I skinned my thumb once I got to the office, and I'm covering for people out of office so the next few weeks are going to be rough.
The good to know: I just learned there's a Goodwill donation spot down the street for the next time I cull my wardrobe.
