Sometimes I tell time by my laundry pile. Certainly strange I will admit, but it is a very good reminder to me of how many days go by without me really registering their passing, lost in the constant influx of job and life. Suddenly I look up and I have dumpster fire of overflowing laundry hamper, that I keep 'meaning to get to' for at least five days before I finally can. It is a constant reminder to me when I go to the bathroom of how I am failing. Or at least failing to keep up to the unattainable standard I have set for myself. The real truth is we can't keep up with all that we do, and we are rock stars for doing what we do. So I'm going to ignore the laundry pile telling me I am a failure and instead focus on all I have done in life. On all the friendships I have. On the memory I will leave. I really hope what is remembered of me isn't - she never got behind on her laundry. I hope to be remembered for being kind, for being always there when needed, for being a good listener, and a very good friend who ignored her dumpster fire to help others with theirs.

While the mess is a lot to take, there is noticeable progress being made and the first of that progress is my #quarantinechaser to help with today's #dailydumpster. Getting the mail today was kinda awesome!

So nearly every room and the outside of my house has at least a mini dumpster fire simmering. As we are not traveling, we are doing a whole host of projects on the house. But this means MESS. Like for real MESS! Today's #dailydumpster is all the stuff I pulled out of the attic for a two part project of 1) cleaning out the attic obviously, but 2) to make room for the electrician to come and do wiring for a new light fixture for our dining room remodel/redo. So it's a hectic mess here, but a good friend told me today that mess is part of the process and to not fight it, to just work through it. Good advice for this and for so many other things. So here is to embracing the mess and pushing on through.

Hey guys you know what quarantine really needs???  A leaky sink that pours water into your basement! It's a real icing-cake situation! So that's my #dailydumpster after a lengthy break (that don't worry had plenty of fires)! As you can see all my cleaning supplies are sitting in baskets on my counter since I have to wait for a plumber to come tomorrow. So it's fine. I'm fine!
