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!

Sorting Clothes

I keep saying that I'm going to go through my clothes.  I tried to get to it last week but my cat decided he needed to sit on the pile that I was going through so I gave up.  Today I want to get back to it.  Since my weight loss and my brother turning me on to Goodwill on Sundays, I have gotten a lot of clothes and still have some clothes that are too big.  My brother donates clothes and shoes to a Church so I do too.  But I have another problem and maybe you can answer this question billwfriend.  Some of my clothes have seemingly disappeared.  I usually find them eventually but this time I think something is stuck in the hose leading from my washing machine to my septic tank as I noticed the floor was wet the last couple times that I did laundry.  What do you think?  Anyway, I really hope to go through clothes after lunch.

No clue. Best of luck figuring out what's happening.

Thanks Mid! I've tried 2 times to go through my clothes and my cat interfered again. He's 2.5 years old so I guess he's still a kitten.

that and he might think you are leaving if you get rid of clothes, no telling.

I doubt seriously that any item of clothing could pass from the machine into the line to the tank.....but your tank may need to be sucked out by a company that does septic tank cleaning.....sometimes they get so full.....also do you use the enzyme stuff that is out there for septic tanks.....they say to do that regularly to keep the tank from getting over filled as the enzymes eat the crap inside and that stuff I think is called Rid it......

google septic tank enzymes and that will give you that product name.....

Bill, I bought that stuff for my tank. I got talked into it 17 years ago. I bought a 5 year supply for something around $180. I used it once. I wonder if it would be safe to use now. My tank was just emptied a few months ago. We have been having a crazy amount of rain though. I still haven't found my 3 pairs of pants. They were all leggings. I hope you are right.

I found all 3 pairs of pants! I was so happy to find them! They were in the hallway which is where I had looked before.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
