WOW! What a response! Thank you EVERYONE for adding to this collection! LOL And I had no idea that I could add photos, too. I'll post them later...
Have a God Day!
I've found that most people "collect" something. For some, it's Teddy Bears, etc. My collection started innocently enough, back in the 80's. I was stoned, as usual, and was eating a bowl of Captain Crunch. The box said "Order Your VERY OWN CAPTAIN!" and I thought...why not?
So, it was an excuse...
I've been watching Showtime's "The BIG C", a series about a woman who finds out she has stage 4 cancer. The reason I mention it here is that, it's made me be more proactive in caring for myself so that I don't leave my children before I am ready to.
For movies, I like oldies. "North to Alaska"...
In this, for me, it has been a struggle. I'm still clean and am proud of that, but it has been a struggle. There have been many times since my trauma that I have wanted to escape, just for a little while...it's then that I lean heavily upon the tools I learned in NA. I had my 5000th day...

I cry at inappropriate times and at every emotional thought. It's gotten worse since my PTSD has been diagnosed. I can recall getting a bad work review and crying, or when I got in an auto accident...my initial response was to cry.
An example: After my trauma started, I'd get written up for...
De-Cluttering
I know this issue. I've never been big on cleaning house. The dishes are done only because I have a dishwasher. The laundry gets washed, but never put away.
My Mom hired me an Organizer. This woman charged $30 per hour and was well worth it. As Grama-Herc said

Disability
I was placed on disability in November, last year, by my psychiatrist. I'm on "temporary" disability and I didn't "apply" at all. The doctor filled out the paperwork and put "depression" as my cause. I wasn't too happy about that, because of the so-called "social stigma" associated...
