I'm living in my new home since more than a year. I don't find the energy to move past that stage. I still don't know where my sunglasses and my battery charger are.

That's brutal. I did accomplish a bunch of deep cleaning and fixed the refrigerator today while avoiding unpacking ๐Ÿคฃ

To be fair, my situation is fairly complex. Big house, multiple family members involved, tons of old furniture that's in the way, other tasks having higher priority. That plus a full-time job is draining enough for lazy me to not dig through all my piles and boxes in the hopes of achieving order.

But I threw out a couple of large household appliances today. Bit by bit...

Oh I get that. We inherited a house. It's been empty for a minute. The cleaning has been... Intense.
