Chaos is ongoing in our hustle bustle lives. Even in the pandemic, I feel busy all the time. I understand the “lived in” situation. It’s a constant struggle. I make one item a day that must get done. Maybe it’s a box to unpack or get the large dust bunnies the next day. It makes it bearable and you won’t have that lingering guilt. Good luck. We’re all in this together.
