holy shit this is inspiring
I assumed this had to be sarcastic, but it’s possible my post did not make it clear how disgraceful a state my kitchen and indeed my entire house is in, that this was the state of it. And i suppose, there is something inspiring in flinging a drawer full of Tupperware across a room while screaming obscenities at it, whilst in a floor-length black lace gown and a calico apron with cross-stitched penguins upon the breast. (I don’t think I’d described that part.)
It was nice to know the floor was clean enough that I could just pick the Tupperware back up and put it away without running it through aggressive decontamination afterward. I definitely did something to my right triceps muscle though.

I frequently attempt to purge unneccesary plastic containers and my dad will rescue them from the recycling and keep them in the basement thus negating the act.
Also, I vaccuumed out the fold-out couch layer by layer as I folded it into a bed for my mom who’s allowed to sleep at home now!
ahh, Dude grew up in a house with a refugee grandmother who frequently garbage-picked things they threw out that were “perfectly good” so he learned as a young child to really bury any food or not-obviously-broken items he threw out. It sort of scarred him– he says “it’s perfectly good!” with a particular very distinct inflection whenever he’s mocking me for hoarding something, which I know is an echo of his grandmother who died in the late 80s.
But that’s great news about your mom! I mean, scary sort of, I feel like you implied that she’s possibly getting kicked out prematurely out of pandemic fears, but it’s wonderful to at least be able to see her and help. I hate being apart from my family at the moment, and they’re all fine.
For now. 😬

Love and sympathy. The Tupperware disaster in our house is over the stove, so I occasionally “accidentally” drop mismatched or stained or otherwise gross Tupperware on hot stove burners.
I’m the one who hoards it, I’m the one with trouble letting go of things, I’m the one with the problem, but I’m also the only one who can clean anything or take any care for our surroundings in any way, it is all always 100% my problem and my responsibility and i am really not equal to it. I broke one of the ones I actually quite like, but I was in enough of a state that I just threw all the pieces in the recycling and am not letting myself think about it.
