Amos and several others are right.... one thing... then another...etc. But *I* know how frustrating it can be to chooseone.... and how extremely frustrating it can be to not finish.

When I have been WAY behind (like my shop is now that craft season is over), I usually break the spell by just getting a trash bag and tossing out all the 'obvious' crap that has been disguising the other stuff. Then, I do something that gives some immediate satisfaction and/or relief, like ONE load of washing. (Music playing helps). If someone can come over and just talk to you while you putter, it can ease the process...(yeah, I know, not always easy to match schedules when YOUR schedule is so full).

I DO know about bill paying... I HATE the process, whether I have money or not. I have gradually filtered it down by doing some automatically online... but sitting down to open envelopes and write checks is harder than physical work. I have dealt with it by sitting down with stuff in my lap in a comfy chair, rather than at a desk, where it feels like 'work'.

(I am aware that long work commute and tending to someone 300 miles away can't easily be alleviated soon.... but ummm... can 'teen aged son' be conscripted into some more of the chores? (I know they don't always
'see' the stresses YOU are under.)

Oh... and commiserations and virtual {{{{{hugs}}}} on the way, no matter how it goes. ♥♥♥♥☺☺☺☺ <3 <3
