Sleeping all day was not the best idea. This time of year is topsy turvy and a massive depression hole.

Edit: Well I put away the dishes in the rack so it’s free to do more tomorrow. Put baking soda down the sink. Folding to free up the baskets.

I need to just sew the waistbands back on the ill fitting trackies and donate them because I don’t care enough to finish altering them.

Hoping everything opens up again soon so I can make phone calls and appointments.

I had a basket of repairs. Looked at all the items carefully. I never missed them, don't need them, the op shops are full to bursting with items of clothing, so I chucked them in the bin.

That was a tiny little burden off my mind. Every little bit helps.

Hope all your calls and such go well. 😽

You’re right, I just stress about being wasteful. 😢I am tempted to do this.

Thanks. Hopefully they’re open, I’ve gotta put on my big Melba pants and handle everything

I stressed about waste too

then thought about how stress is wasting my health and repairs of near worthless clothes are a waste of my time
