struggle to keep even my living room presentable. One of the nice things
about my house is the living room and entry way can be shut off from the
rest of the house.

call "the bathroom"? Are all the bedroom doors locked, just in case your
guests are the snoopy sort?

(T) *** Ooowee. Now we're getting to real issues, aren't we? Good point
there, Joanne. In many cases, unless we confront some of our real issues,
dealing with the clutter may just be taking care of symptoms. I've been
wondering, in recent years, if my clutter isn't my way of insulating
myself - from others; from potential hurt? While my place has been untidy,
I've been reluctant to let anyone but my closest friends (and obviously,
son) into my apartment. Some interesting metaphors could be drawn... Some
people put on weight as a self-defence barrier; others, it seems, clutter...
