Today's Marie Kondo

[mme_hardy]

I got 5 bags of clothes and shoes out of the bedroom. That's tall kitchen trashbags (12 quarts), mind you. I may yet be able to reenter and use the closet.

I feel like admitting this sort of thing is admitting to being a mess and a hoarder, but progressing away from that is still progress.

I give myself triple points because this morning I had to ward off my mom's buying airplane tickets (from the dementia ward, on her computer) to make a surprise visit to my brother who'll be recovering from cancer surgery. That was a trip and a half.

Triple points AND a bingo, I think. Argh.

Yes, it is progress, but you have been unwell for a very long while and sorting and deciding takes a lot of mental effort and physical energy. If this is something you need to do, you will do it in its time, when you are ready.

Thank you. I really needed to hear that.

This this this! Progress is progress.

(If it makes you feel any better, last year I finally tackled the Storage Room o' Doom, and discovered a closet I'd forgotten. Hidden behind a heap of petticoats and fabric. A CLOSET.)
