but we might need that third garlic press. what if the first two we never use break?!
After a pitched battle with my wife over all the piles of shit in our basement, I declare myself the winner, as we have been clearing it out by the carload for the past couple of weeks. Good riddance!

Having a dumpster at work I can put all the stuff we aren't donating in has been a huge help.

I think they hold on to stuff mainly for the sentimental value, meaning that selling it isn’t really the point. I guess it’s some kind of shift where they suddenly don’t value it anymore.

I’ve also seen sudden onsets of hoarding closely followed by Marie Kondo-esque decluttering. One can barely keep up.

good thing she's got two feet!

feel better!
Me too! This injury has made is super difficult for her to complete the tasks I have assigned her, like doing all the laundry, removing hornets nests from the yard, and putting shingles on the roof!
Poor thing! Hope she continues to feel better.
She turned a corner today, but it's been a rough few days. Thank you!
I hope the footsie (and wife) are recovering well.
Rough weekend. Wife had foot surgery, so I was pulling double duty!
My Monday morning shower thought is that ‘ancillary’ is a ridiculous word.
