yeah...

basically, i've been overwhelmed trying to clean my room because there's a bunch of crap (mine, my parents' stuff, old family stuff) in it and there are Piles Everywhere

so my mom, sensing a Father Project Mode incoming (BAD because he doesn't actually clean, he just starts throwing everything away, regardless of who it belongs to it or if it's getting used), is helping me clean a little. she is trying to do her own cleaning projects elsewhere in the house as well, but the help... helps. (at least she cares about me caring about my stuff.)

Another day, another accountability post. Feeling like Tangina in Poltergeist, rn. This house is [getting] clean.

Yesterday's shit:

Write another 1k on soul and plot out the Hellcheer reunion one-shot I have in my head, which I think now is going to be two chapters but w/e. Under 15k.

Do a counter sweep of every flat surface in the house and put away clutter in appropriate places (I did like 70% of the counters but there are more to do.)

Go on a hike with my friend which is not a chore just a thing I'm excited about doing

Get all my quilting supplies out for the quilt I stopped working on before Thanksgiving and set it all up so I can maybe finish it before it gets hot again. (Was going to do this and then remembered my dad is coming over to help me hang a new light fixture on Saturday, and that light fixture hangs directly above the dining table where I do my quilting, so it seems... ill-advised to set it all up now.)

Today's shit:

Write at least 1k on Soul chapter 14

Finish the counter sweep

Go grocery shopping

Break down some of the boxes in the garage that have been sitting there for 6+ months because they are big and I am lazy, then put them in the recycling bin.

I love when I can throw out my mum's stuff bc the woman is practically a damn hoarder I'll just be in her house like WHEN WILL YOU EVER USE THIS, and we'll bicker back and forth about it lol

that's fair

my mom's not a hoarder, but she is a packrat, and i have unfortunately developed her tendency to Get Attached To Objects Sentimentally. it doesn't mean we can't get rid of stuff, but we do both struggle to get rid of things we may not use or need. because Someone Else Could Use Them...! & then they end up collecting dust in the basement because we don't have much storage space anymore and no one's willing to buy anything except for ^furniture.
