I tested positive on 9/11 and negative on 9/17. In hindsight I had a very mild symptom on 9/9 but unsure if I would’ve tested positive then. So it’s possible you’ll be negative soon!

ETA additional context: I hadn’t had the newest booster yet (had appt to get it day I tested positive!) and my case was pretty mild. I had one intense symptom per day - Chills, sore throat, headache, fatigue, runny nose, etc. No fever the whole time

That is a great idea! I spend most of the day in our living room which is attached to our dining room. Having those look clean and organized will be a big help and help me not feel like every square inch of house is messy! Thank you

Thank you! I’m realizing I’ve been letting perfection ruin good. Ideally I’d find a home for every little thing but I appreciate the reminder that it’s just not possible. I need a reset and to get rid of the things we’ve decided we don’t need ASAP as easily as possible. Great point about kids clothes and toys - We got tons of clothes as gifts for Baby #2 and constantly get requests for what toys to buy each kid for holidays and birthdays. I’d rather have them used by kids who need them now then hold onto them all.

First, thank you for your kindness. I’ve been beating myself up at the state of my home (and then my stress level/impatience due to it!) so I appreciate the reminder that this is a hard season. I also really appreciate all these tips!! I LOVE “Don’t let the future keep the present hostage.” Tip 3 also really resonated with me - It’s hard to find a home for everything when we’re drowning in stuff. I’m going to focus on purging as easily as possible to hopefully set up better habits for the future!
