My favorite hat (and dress!) of the whole day:
I have finally changed my avatar to a picture of Pam Young & Peggy Jones, my heroes!!
Itâs true that parts of their book, Sidetracked Home Executives: from pigpen to paradise, are a bit outdated now but the basic advice is sound and the system is adaptable and it works!
Itâs probable that they actually saved my life.
Well, here it is Saturday night already and my sink is still shining! That means that I have washed my dishes morning and night and every day this week. Only had to run the dishwasher one time and it is now empty also. Thanks to you @unfuckyourhabitat I have maintained sink zero for an entire week! I know for certain that this has never happened in my entire adult life.

Where do we go from here?
This wonât be the last mass shooting in America. Until Congress puts aside the politics of gun control and honestly faces the human toll of their inaction, guns will continue to ravage our communities.

Trade shifts with people who canât get time off, or babysit their kids. A single vote for gun control is more powerful than all the thoughts and prayers in Washington.
Tens of thousands of people will be killed by guns before we can wrest control of Congress from the gun lobby. Many hundreds will be students sheltering in classrooms. But change is possible.
TurboVote.org will help you register online or by mail. Go now. We donât have time to wait.
See how much the gun lobby has given to your representative, or spent on their behalf.

For my beloved #UfYH This SORT of fits the âShit I Wish I Had Knownâ theme, but really this here is just my little contribution to the glorious Unfuck Your Habitat queen-lady. I worked for a carpet & upholstery cleaning company for 5 years. This is the best basic stain removal/spill cleanup method for anything that is carpet or fabric, short of hiring a professional. First, get yourself some cheap white terry towels or washcloths. I get mine in a bundle of 10 for $1 at the local dollar store. Terry is the best texture for stain removal (being only mildly abrasive, and absorbent) and you want white so that youâre not transferring dyes, & you can see whatâs coming off. When you spill something or someone pees, or Whatever happens, itâs best to get to it right away! Thatâs obvious, right? Ok, here we go: 1) Blot up as much excess as humanly possible. 2) Dampen the rag (hopefully a new one but work with what you have) and BLOT, donât rub, at the stain. Very very gentle rubbing is ok for carpet, not for upholstery generally. Weâre trying to not spread the Whatever or damage anything here. 3) Apply your chosen mild solvent to the rag, NOT the stain, and blot blot blot. 4) Go back over it with just the damp rag again. Come on, donât skip this step. 4) Repeat 3&4 as needed. 5) Follow up with the dry rag again! Now! It is important to note that urine generally discolors things, so youâre not working with a stain usually, so much as discoloration. Same for anything with hardcore dye (Gods Blast Ye, Robitussin) or tannins (wine, coffee, etc). But these are not without hope! Just get to them ASAP. If you have a Serious Amount of Urine (as in, for years), & padding under your carpet, the smell wonât truly go away without new padding. Iâm sorry. That crap acts like a sponge (a sponge with a carpet on top) and it canât really be cleaned. =( Also! For the love of all things Good, Pure, and Unfucked PLEASE do not ever use the devilâs powder, AKA Carpet Fresh. All it does is form a sticky residue which attracts soil. It takes several extractions with a truck-mounted steam unit to TRULY remove it. Same with Resolve and most other cleaners; they donât get rinsed properly and they attract more soil. The best thing in your house for carpet & upholstery spotting is diluted dish detergent. I swear. And lastly! Water rings are ridiculous but true; water can stain a LOT of things. This is because the item is drying unevenly, and it generally happens on thinner fabrics or anything with a linen or silk content. So your best bet is to dampen a bit beyond the stain and then brush it lightly in an outward motion, trying to go lighter as you go outwards in a spiral/fan motion. Then aim a fan at that bad boy to make it dry faster & more evenly, sit down, and rest! Bonus tip thing: Goo Gone is pretty much just oil (baby, mineral, whatever) BUT that nice orange color can stain, so use the baby oil instead if youâre removing wax and such.

End-of-December chaos control: A few steps to reclaim your home and your sanity
How many of us end the year, every year, looking around our homes in despair and disgust? Many of you are probably completely overwhelmed right now, between social obligations, busy work schedules, end-of-semester stress, the holidays, and everything else. Now that itâs all finally winding down a little, youâre left surrounded by an unholy mess. So my gift to you is a game plan for getting that mess under control while still keeping whatever part of your sanity you had going into the season.
1. Itâs not gonna go away on its own. Staring at the boxes and bags and dishes in anguish and misery isnât going to make them go away. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to get to work. The longer you wait to start dealing with it, the more risk of it becoming somewhat invisible to you and eventually just being part of the landscape.
2. Slow and steady. In this, like in all of our home projects, doing a little at a time helps to keep you from getting buried under the metaphorical (and often physical) weight of the task at hand. Set your timer for 20 minutes, or pick one surface, pile, or small area to focus on, and get started. Chip away at it a bit at a time. Youâll make more progress than you think.
3. Once given, gifts are yours to do with as you wish. You do not have to hold on to stuff you wonât use or donât want. The gift has been given to you, and you are under no obligation to keep it forever if you donât want to.Â
4. Keep at it. You donât have to devote all of your free time to cleaning up, but if you consistently do a little bit when you can, things will shape up just fine. Once youâve cleaned up a spot, let yourself feel a little smug about it, and enjoy the little feeling of calm that sneaks in. And then, when you can, move on to another spot and repeat until your home is reset to something thatâs livable and enjoyable for you.Â
hey. hey. stop scrolling for a sec.
breathe. youâve made it so far this year. youâve gotten through so many things that you thought you wouldnât, and youâll continue to get though this, whatever it is. i know you can. i believe in you, and iâm so, so proud of you. i know it probably seems impossible, but itâs going to be ok. itâs going to be ok.
breathe in, breath out. and just keep breathing. weâre gonna get there.
You want some real legitimate advice about mental health? Stop being mean to yourself.
Like, when you wanna say mean shit about yourself either internally or externally, work to learn how to step back a moment and remind yourself that what you are doing is a form of self-harm and not a fair or legitimate judgement on you as a person, and furthermore is not productive to your survival or well-being.
Even if you fuck something up, you can resolve to do better in the future, you can tell yourself that youâre going to make this a learning experience, and even if youâve made the same mistake 50 times already, telling yourself youâll get it right someday if you just keep trying will always do you better than calling yourself an idiot and beating yourself up for not being able to get it right.
Take it from me, a lot of mental health shit is a product of your environment and personal history, and therefore you really donât have the control over it that you need to get by without othersâ help, but one thing you can have some control over is whether youâre going to be a friend to yourself or just another enemy, and if you want to survive, youâve gotta strive to be in your own corner as best you can.
Self harm! Damn!
First two pics are before and the third pic after 15/10 X 4 is the result. Still a lot to do but I can walk through the door and there are clear spaces on the floor!

Do this four times repeatedly and youâll be out. But how does it work? Thereâs some real brain science behind it.
Weâre trying this tonight!
Itâs about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this âhuman beingâ software. Itâs only been out for like 10,000 years.
That autistic / ADHD feel when you want to doâŚÂ something.
I call this âactivity cravingsâ because itâs like when you want a certain food but you arenât sure which food. But for activities.
Do I want to go for a walk? Play a game? If so, what kind of game? DO I want to make things? Read? Watch tv? A movie?
then when that executive dysfunction comes into play and since you could do literally anything in the world, you end up trapped and unable to choose anything to do at all, and do nothing instead but live in that restlessness
One of the best additions to this post yet. This is one of those nuances of choice paralysis that people fail to understand - sometimes it is because we lack the executive function to choose, sometimes we want to do all the things and canât choose.
So I have a hoarders nest of a room, is it better to clean the surfaces first or the floor? Because I really need some direction.
Work by category instead of location when youâre dealing with a big mess like this. Start with the stuff that has the potential to smell bad or attract critters. So, food/dishes, trash, dirty laundry, etc. Youâll likely find that stuff both on the floor and on your flat surfaces. From there, work by category, starting with the biggest: for example, deal with all of your clothes, if thatâs whatâs taking up the most space. Then move on to books or papers or hobby stuff, whatever is the next-biggest bulk. This will allow you to decrease the overall level of messiness and make the largest impact on the mess.
If you focus on one area or surface at a time, I guarantee you will end up with one really clean dresser-top oasis in an otherwise chaotic room, and you will be frustrated and tired after one or two areas not making things feel overall any better, and youâre likely to give up.

The first photo is actually after I had pulled everything out. Who keeps their floral arranging supplies in the bathroom?! Not me, anymore! I now have space for the cleaning supplies and the cat food along with a few other things that were homeless an hour or so ago!!
@unfuckyourhabitat
Weekly challenge:
This week, commit to doing any task that takes less than two minutes as soon as you notice it needs to be done.
Rather than putting off changing the empty paper towel roll, or wiping down a spill, or putting dirty laundry in the hamper, or putting the dishes in the drainer away, do it right then so it doesnât add to your to-do list later (and possibly not get done at all). Iâm not talking about the big jobs here, just the little stuff that you notice and would otherwise be inclined to file away until later. A lot of these mini-tasks will take far less time than you think!
Right away is the easy way!
