Getting urge to do emotional eating.
Feeling good because I'm accomplishing housecleaning and houseclearing stuff.
Enjoying the silence of the TV. Planning on cooking fava beans.
Maybe some liver and a nice Chianti to go with your fava beans?
House clearing stuff scares me. Are we just talking about clearing clutter or is there more to this?
We have a layer or two of "living clutter" that is moved on a daily basis. None of it we could do without, without some serious repercussions.
I can not offer a solution to the urge, but maybe some favorite decadent, expensive, rarely eaten or afforded fruit to tank out on?
Clearing PA's crap (collection of prescription bottles, 27 inches of transcribed Rosetta Stone Russian notebooks (he was an old-school learner)), finding stuff of mine he'd put away that I thought I'd misplaced (the key to the document box), etc. Cleaning/reorganizing the house since NTs and Aspies have different housekeeping philosophies and he was 14 inches taller than me (e. g. my peanut butter doesn't belong on a top shelf)
Finding something sturdy enough to take his clothes to the thrift store (size 14 wide shoes). Sort through his books, decide whether to thrift or sell them, etc. Mainly massive amounts of Russian texts and dictionaries, Calc and Trig, WW2 non-fiction.
I may curl up tonight with some Praline Liquor.
