After believing I was powerless over the messy state of my home, I finally realised I did cause it, could control it, and could cure it! It took two years, but I found my higher power in a bucket of warm bleach and a pair of rubber gloves!
I can't believe how dirty everything had become! I've cleaned the windows, washed the curtains, wiped the walls and mopped the floors... I guess this is what normal people do.
Still got power tools stored in the kitchen cupboard, but hey, I don't want to get too carried away, right?
