What do you call the dirt that accumulates when you're depressed?
Funk Gunk!
Ok, I know, pretty lame in the humor department, but it came to me as I was scrubbing and it gave me a giggle. And, hey--I need all the giggles I can get.I have managed to clean the bathroom and clear the front hallway, which was beyond cluttered--it was literally clogged. My place has been a veritable obstacle course, and the front hallway was one of the worst spots of all. Assuming the "Lair" theory, it kind of makes sense--like an animal in hiding, I have blocked off the access to my hideaway.
I toted bags out to the corner for pick up this morning. Let's see, between today and yesterday, there was a total of 6 30-gallon trash bags, full to capacity; 2 30-gallon recycling bags full of bottles, etc.; and 9 paper grocery bags full of newspapers. I have probably collected almost all of the bottles, but for trash and newspapers, there is still a ton more!
This place is the kind of thing that would make great video for Trash TV talk shows ("'My Friend/Sister/Daughter's a Slob and I Want Her to Clean Up Her Act!' on the next ___________"). I can just hear the audience gasping as they view the videotape!
Thanks to all for the support. It really helped. It is still a work in progress, though, so you can't count on more updates. I hope they're not too tedious.
