sorting/organising/throwing out stuff

How the hell does anyone do this?

I joke that we have 'the hoarding gene' from both sides of the family, but it's not just B1 and her boxes of files and receipts from 5, 10, 15 years ago, it's me and "things that might yet be useful".

Also: bottles and bottles of stuff: cleaning things, glues, sprays, etc, much of it not-yet-used or half-used or unusued. And the issue is primarily that we don't have the space to store all this...

Lounges arrived and they are nice, but very large! I asked the cleaners to give them a once-over this morning and I'll do another clean with baking soda and TheAlso, I need to sort out the bookshelf issue in my study ASAP, because now I have a too-wide shelf that I don't need and must put on Marketplace or one of the local groups. Except that I need to find the hardware for it, which I haven't seen in weeks.

UGH.

It was a really good purchase too. But, yes, sorting and throwing out. Still so much to do.

food dysfunction

Having major exec dysfunction around food lately

Eating meals - well, prepping them - is a horrendously big thing atm. I'll put off cooking for ages, and then stare at the fridge and the things in it and go "there's nothing to eat, I don't feel like anything".

I do have some instant or quick meals in the freezer. Dumplings. Soup and bread. Vegie lasagne. I can heat them up, no problem. But IDK, I'm just...not enthused. Hungry yes, and knowing I need something, but just...not enthused. And the prospect of having to do all the steps to get the food out? Feels like too much.

I'll do other things around the house, no problem - cleaning, gardening, work, etc. I'll go to the gym in the morning, go shopping to buy food (bananas and mandarins) But food? I'm just...struggling if it's not set down right in front of me ready to eat...

I was on the verge of having cereal for lunch today, and then I discovered the milk was off. And I can't have dry cereal. I cannot even.

There are lots of awesome takeaways around, but that requires effort. And choosing. And ARGH.

I guess I'll go the banana and mandarins for lunch. But I'm going to have to make a decision about dinner and I'm not entirely sure I can.
