Compulsive hoarding is a mental disorder that is just beginning to be understood. As a hoarder, I have acquired things over the years with a specific purpose in mind at the time of the acquisition, used some of those items for their intended purposes, forgotten the goal for different objects, but now that I find that they have outlived their purpose in my life I am struggling to rid myself of those same things.

I'll be back...

soonish.

Without giving too many details that aren't mine to give, Mom had to have open heart surgery. We found out within hours of my last post and left a few hours after that. Although Hubster went back home a few weeks ago, Hopper, Scooter and I are still in my hometown and will be here through the weekend. 

Mom is doing well. I just knew there was no way I'd be able to relax going home before I knew that everything was going to be okay or while Mom still needed me. She's done so much for us that it's the least we could do for her. 

I'll be back home and back to dehoarding and blogging soon.
