I am my mother's child

Somebody tell me to get rid of the damn Greenpeace sticker. I don't want it, I'm never going to use it, I didn't want it in the first place (I think I acquired it via one of my actual charities selling my info), I especially don't want it after the Nazca Lines jackassery, it isn't worth the postage to give it away ('cause let me assure you no one else in this house wants it either, though for different reasons). But I cannot bring myself to actually trash the thing.

There is a lot of crap I own that I neither need nor want but cannot convince myself to get rid of.

And yes, I know, unclutter. Also bitesizedcleaning and unfuckyourhabitat. Also the KonMari system—I finally broke down and bought a Kindle copy of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and am 24% in. (On a related note: I keep spending money I do not really have. Which is part of why the clutter problem! ...and yes, actyourwage.)

And I keep telling myself I'll do better in my own apartment, but who do you think you're kidding, Alex. This corner of the basement is essentially all mine (if only because no one else wants to deal with my crap), my bedroom is definitely all mine (since the sister who used to share it with me is the one who moved in with her fiancé), and I have no one else to blame for the state they're in. If I can't handle keeping these two areas clean now, that bodes ill for my being able to keep an entire apartment clean later.

Seriously, somebody tell me to get rid of the Greenpeace sticker. I will probably whine at you about how I don't waaaaant to, but I keep hearing that being an adult is doing the thing while muttering "I don't wanna"...

The Greenpeace sticker is in the recycle box.

...There was another Greenpeace sticker under it. I am not even joking. It is also in the recycle box.

I feel like Massive Victory Accomplished.

(oh hey mom is home maybe I can go deal with work lunches now)
