ananda,
Sometimes I take a trash bag and just run through a room and pick up everything that needs tossing and into the bag it goes!
I totally understand about the chaos. I've been painting and cleaning so the whole house is a mess. Today I feel so overwhelmed I don't even know where to begin. The kitchen and bathroom are clean and tidy but that's about it.
I can't even bear to think about getting into the closets. I have some boxes marked "Save" "Donate" and "trash" and that's about it!
I'm a bit moody today and may need a good cry later.
Hang in there, girl.
Love,
Lenina
