Sorry to hear you are feeling so low kazmeister.

Really hope things settle down at home and home life becomes a bit less fraught.

Take good care of yourself and good luck with the declutter and yard sale.

:grouphug: for you Kaz don't think just because you aren't keeping up with the list that you can't post on here or be a part of this fantastic group of people.

There are loads of us who for one reason or another find it difficult to keep up. But no one will ever say you can't post on here. I have to be one of the worst for keeping up but I just keep dodging Pigpen's mules works for me. Just because you don't complete a list does not make you a failure, sometimes other things prevent us from getting on and caring and supporting your family should always come above housework. So please keep posting.
