Hi Diane,

Thanks for your warm welcome and good wishes. Louisiana? Randy Newman sings a beautiful
song about Louisiana, but that would be off-topic...

I sometimes wonder whether I'm in the right group. Some folks are stressing about 
trying
to clear stubborn spots from the inside of their ovens. I am so mired in trash that it
looks as if I'm living in a dumpster! It doesn't help being a leisure journalist, 
because
folks send me press folders, videos, files, releases; all off which keep accumulating 
in
the most noxious fashion. 

Because I don't share my huge apartment with anyone, there's no one around to chastise 
me
and keep me in check. Grown men, as you know, are just little boys with with drivers'
licences. In the back of our minds, we seems to be saying to ourselves: "I don't need 
to
sleep early any more because there's no one here to make me." And the same applies to
being tidy, and other such grown-up disciplines.  My trash has multplied around me like
The Blob from outer space!

I also have very little leisure time each day, as I work long hours, and spend most
evenings at launches, premieres and such.

My clutter has truly reached the stage where it could be clinically labelled
"dysfunctional", hence my questioning whether I am indeed in the correct group. I could
take some digital pics around my home and e-mail them to the group, but I suspect that 
the
poor group members will flee their computers in terror!

Nevertheless, here's a little motto that occured in my untidy brain the other day: 
"Throw
away - every day." Since then, I've made a point of scouting around and just tossing
"household garbarge" out whenever I have a moment to spare. I've come across empty 
shampoo
bottles in the bathroom, boxes and containers of things I've used that were just 
hanging
around the place; that kind of stuff. It may be a drop in the ocean, but a drop is 
better
than a drought!

Take it easy,
Tat
