housekeeping...

I lean toward the packrat side of the packrat-minimalist continuum myself, and I've helped go through the belongings of a few late packrats. Today JD, a personal finance blogger, writes about cleaning up his mother's house and notes "a bargain is not a bargain if it goes to waste."

Okay, I feel less worried about being behind on vacuuming & such from worldcon. Funny how deleting the Off Your Lazy Butt reminders from when I was gone made me feel like I'm not behind, I just need to get back into the routine and things will get done. As [livejournal.com profile] mama_hogswatch posted today ...
Housework is a never-ending thing. The task is never "done", so getting it perfect isn't going to help much. Getting used to a steady level of more or less neat and clean? That's a huge help.
(Wonder if JD's seen Squalor Survivors?)
