see yeah if it's that deeply ingrained i figured it would be hard to explain haha but figured i'd ask

stuff like everything. i just don't have time/energy to clean and the process gets backed up because i'll be like ok i am doing laundry today oh just kidding one of the 5 other people i live with is doing laundry ok guess i have to postpone that for another 5 weeks for me to have a break.

vacuuming is new and important to me because we had a bimonthly maid service come by my parents' home so i never realized how much i SHED. even with a pixie cut. it still gets everywhere. and then there's just dirt from existing and being outside i guess?

the point about pets is one i totally didn't even think about bc i grew up with cats and like... if i'm already reeling from junk and clutter and stuff adding kets is gonna be a whole other level

Hey wow though just get like a big basket for your laundry and then it's not even a problem except if you physically run out of clothing.

I guess I don't shed. Or exist? I don't know my carpet is one of those speckled ugly ones so it just kinda looks how it's gonna look.

I do have 2 large baskets and that plan worked for a while and then i'm not sure what happened. i did a big clean the other day though and everything is lovely and i am actively attempting to change my habits.

part of it is the whole house i'm renting is all hardwood which is lovely but makes being clean just that much more work
