Let my suffering be your reasoning to thrive. Let it be today. Let this be your motivation. Clean, my sisters brothers and none of the above. Clean.
Same, yep. Dishes put away and I fed myself? Winning! I even took the pup out and figured we should head out to the awesome dog park down the way —but that’s when the car’s head gasket blew. Should’ve stopped while I was winning. 😅🤷🏼♂️
shit happens. hope you didn’t blown a gasket as well
The older I get, the more Uncle Iroh gets me. 🤌🏼
Last Sunday I felt something weird happening to me and out of sudden I cleaned this disgusting corner of my room, that was full of actual trash, I threw away so many things. There’s still work to do in my dresser and then I’ll start in the kitchen, but I’m happy I managed to do this one thing. Anyway, I wanted to share my small win and applaud you for yours. Truly, congrats.
Same, did this last Sunday and I was super proud of myself for finally doing it
Congrats!
I haven’t used a cup/mug in about 6 months. I buy a coffee for $2, then refill that paper cup for a week u until it leaks from the seams. then I buy another one.
I also just eat out of the pan/pots now… I’m a savage and stopped caring about things. sigh . sucks
Fuck this hits hard
Not to dunk on your achievement or anything, but isn’t that a toilet brush?
It’s definitely sold as one here where I live…
Otherwise, congrats!
They also sell them for washing things like glasses or water bottles
Yup. As a former bartender, I see a bottle brush.
Any brush can be a toilet brush, you just need to stick it in the toilet. I have two, the second one looks like a dish brush but I got it because my main toilet brush doesn’t reach everywhere at the bottom because it’s too round/big.
Nicely done. It might feel small, however the lack of motivation is a bitch, and any progress on fighting that internal demon deserves some applause. If you keep it up, it’ll get easier to do what has to be done.
For me it’s the sense of accomplishment that my printed image of when the sink was last cleaned is working perfectly 🤣
Clean sink = happy kitchen
I just don’t buy extra dishes, so I have to clean immediately after use.
ProTip: push your knee(s) against the sink for extra support. Initially you’ll feel a little weird, but you won’t care after your back stops hurting. You can also use this when brushing your teeth and washing your hands.

Pro pro tip: make sure the edge of the sink isn’t wet before you do that. Unless you like looking like you peed yourself.
There are water-proof aprons. Not a bad investment.
As a tall person, I really need to try that, thx. Hunching over doesn’t bother me at all when washing hands or brushing my teeth, since that is only for a short while, but my back does start to hurt if there’s a bit of dish washing to do
I just use a kitchen stool.
Yo, that’s a great tip. Thanks.
Welp, something I’ve been doing without thinking since I was a teenager working as a dish washer. I’ve had back problems since puberty. Stretch marks on my back to this day from growing too quickly.
I rented a house once that had a hammered copper kitchen sink. Never have I been more shamed in my life. It is the reason I trained myself to wash as I cook. It turns out that racing to wash before the water boils over or the food burns is a great way to keep my focus.
Alright, fine, screw it. I’ll organize my NAS finally. I’ll create structure there or die trying
I’m doing this right now, moving to a single volume Raidz2 has proven to be a game changer.
From experience though, however you organize it today, if you’re like me you won’t be happy with it next week.
My problem is I just threw everything I had on it to backup everything. There’s so many duplicate files. Just today cleaning up I got probably 200GB back.
Wooo! I cleaned my sink on Friday too! But then I had company and might have broken my foot and it’s back 😭
It’s such a lovley feeling, brief as it is at times.
