Only need to put the winter bedding under the bed in the trundle drawer and my bedroom will be sorted!
For the most part...
Still need to organize the contents of the dressers and launder and sort the clothes in the verboten room.
No rest for the wicked :)
Didn't think to take before pictures but my car is fully cleaned out, things put away IN THEIR HOMES rather than in piles, and taking the car to get the interior detailed by a professional tomorrow to deal with the rodent resident problem.
Probably need to take it to a mechanic to check wires for safety but that will be next paycheck. Baby steps. Bite at a time.
Some friends volunteered to come help me with my next room this friday. Pictures attached.
This room holds all my worldly possessions left over from the house I lost due to covid and it's literally just boxes of trauma, memories, regret, anguish, happiness, and the room smells like my old home, my dream home i made. Im not setting any expectations other than donating the buried twin size mattress which is still in good shape and donating the electric fireplace heater you cant see buried.
Also bagging up the EVEN FREAkING MORE CLOTHES I didn't realize I had cause even opening the door to that room has been taboo for a coupl years.
If I can just at least bag the clothes I'll count it a win.
Maybe I should spray some new air freshener in there? Buy some scent satchels so im not so triggered. Smell is the strongest memory.
I dunno. Im crawling in clean bed in my not-quite home and probably cry myself to self and dream about my lost home and lost community and lost dreams again.
This shite is freaking hard yall. Can I just burn it with fire lol?
Thanks so much for all the love and support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its made a HUUUUUUUGE impact on me ❤️
Last I posted i had just tackled my depression pit room and decided I was too triggered by my clothes hoarding and had to just remove EVERYTHING and sort it at the laundromat.
I took black and white trash bags and black was to keep and white was to donate. Cut out about 50%, go me!
Then had what was left sorted into summer/spring white bags and fall/winter black bags. The plastic grocery bags are socks, undies, etc.
Now I just need to find homes for them in my dressers and my under the bed storage!
Sleeping in fully laundered bedding and in hog heaven.
I removed a board from the house bed because I gave myself a goose egg sized bump trying to get in the bed a few days ago lol.
Bonus: I got asked out on a date at the laundromat! Don't know if im interested but flattered as he'll and feel less like a depression goblin.
The bad: apparently a rat or a mouse moved into my car while I had the dirty clothes in there waiting for laundromat. Now have to detail car to not die a hentavirus/smell rodent pee. Win some lose some lol.
COVID ruined my life and I lost my house, my job, and pretty much my whole life. Finally have a new job i love and a place of stability and getting myself together! Feels good! All clothing in bags until I launder them and my goal is to reduce my closet size by about 75% so it fits in everything. Recovering clothes hoarder woof
