helping with the housework Community Group
this is a group for those of us who are challenged by getting things around the house done....come tell us what has to be done and get support to and motivation to get that task done and brag about what you have gotten done daily! It is hard for some of us to begin an easy chore but when we are doing them and get them done do you not feel like telling someone? I do!

Others were having problems with germs. Most had OCD. She also said something about clutter being stressful and that makes your cortisol go up. I believe that's a cause for weight gain. Anyway, I am also so happy to have this group. Bill you are really on a roll! Today I was wishing I had someone take my picture lying on the couch. The Blob comes to mind! I'm being too harsh on myself but I do need to cut couch time down in a big way.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon
