Today I'm cleaning my "cancer house" as I call the depression pit my living room and kitchen turned into after going through a divorce followed by cancer. So far I've found batteries that expired in 2018, a thermocoupler, remote for a TV I threw away years ago, and a GFCI outlet in my coffee table.

You survived your cancer??! Congrats! Am 15 years (stomach) cancer free!! After several severe losses, which took years (!!) to heal from- started going through all my food stuff in cabinets and fridge- is amazing how bad some food tastes when past its shelf life!! Enjoy your life now 😘

Ugh - These two come together far too frequently. For me it was the opposite order.

I also found dip pens, nail polish, pens, and random craft supplies. I have the Mary Poppins bag of a coffee table.

If it makes you feel better, I just threw out mustard that expired in 2018. 🫠

Moved onto the dining room and cleared off the island and the peninsula. Currently cleaning the dishwasher and all I have left is a doom corner of the kitchen counter.

The island is covered again with the stuff from the corner of doom. So that is tomorrow's problem. I'm done for the night and having ice cream to celebrate.
