There’s a pile in the nook area of my kitchen. We’ve designated this space as the place where things go that need to go–donations, recyclables, etc. It works out perfectly because it doesn’t take long before it becomes an eyesore which means that this spot is cleared quickly and often.

Yesterday I cut my hair. I decided it needed to be done a while back after seeing all the damage I caused to it by not taking care of it properly. Depressive episodes over the summer results in going days without combing my hair. I simply did not have the time, patience, and energy to deal with it at its thickness and length.
