I grew up very poor and form most of my adulthood I lived from paycheque to paycheque. Unfortunately this disorder runs in my family – my mom was a hoarder also.

I’ve been trying different techniques and I am making some progress. Like alcoholism, the first thing to do is recognize you have it and then it slowly gets easier from there.

I think I’m going to sign up for swimming. With straining my back so badly everything else is hurting…. I think the only way is to get more activity. If i go once a day to the pool and do 3/4 of an hour worth of some sort of gentle exercise, then I’ll get ahead in the game….

Well, I cleaned one of my flower beds right by my house – only four more left to do….but I also was cleaning my bedroom this weekend… I didn’t realize how many flyers I had in my room. I’ve taken a lot of stuff out of my room and will continue to do so. Back is still bothering me so today I’m just doing laundry. One step at a time. Although I have put things in my outlook, I must admit this last week I haven’t kept up due to critical deadlines at work…everything in this last week fell apart, but hopefully this week I will put it all back together again.

I have had to be careful of what I do because I injured one of my fingers pretty badly on a computer at work. It’s over a week and my finger looks like it just got the gouge yesterday. But these things heal.
