It can include;
can do the cleaning and rearranging
rubbish can go in the bin
garden cleanup can go in the trailer

@Shaz51 @Former-Member
You both know I have loved this thread. Great food for thought and listing things and checking boxes.
@ScooI am glad you were raised in a productive Christian environment and are progressive AND are honest enough to mention and apologise for the misuse of christianity in serious abuse situations. I am one who has grappled with all those issues. Thank you.
@FindingStrength
I am turning to local groups atm ... tho it has been moved to online due to the C virus. Have you heard of things like the Transition movement... I am finding in last 10 years a lot of groups have began in my local area ... which I like ... giving my suburb a much better feel than it had 10 years ago when I felt I had to travel across town for good events after bumping my nose against hard unrelenting people.
@Carlachris
Yes it gets lonely. Sending virtual strength to you. Pity about real life.
For a joke
and how messy and complicated things can get ...
