Hey, Team Cat Pee!

One of my cat owner friends recommended this site: Cat Faeries, for tips and products and such. Disclaimers: not affiliated, not compensated, and since I am not a cat owner, I haven’t tested anything they sell. But it’s another resource for those doing battle with cat pee, and I like their writing style. :)

fancydancingpony asked: As the weather gets warmer, the bugs start coming back to my apartment. My building has an infestation problem but I'm also SO MESSY (which obviously just makes things worse)--my boyfriend and one of my best friends have said several times they'll come and help me clean up the place (and protect me from bugs which I HATE) but I'm too embarrassed to let anyone in my apartment...

Unfucked my room today

kamunappy: As you can see it was a huge fucking mess. The area next to my bed had all my shit just thrown next to it and somehow my makeup got on top of the tv. And look now it’s actually clean! and my bed is actually made for once in my life and Mario can breathe! My makeup area was probably the worst which is kinda terrible as a person who does makeup for a living. All organization...

Habitat Unfuckery Part 2!

irrationalism: I actually accomplished most of this yesterday, aside from the last bit…which I’ll get to soon! Before picture…taken a while ago. Eep. The jewelry tree off to the side is gone too, because I have THIS (ignore the writing in the corner): I painted a corkboard black (might paint the outside), and just used thumbtacks. Cheap, effective, and pretty! :) Sucks that I have to double...

Why making your bed is important (an UFYH post)

river-b: My apartment is small. When I moved in, I decided to maximise floor space in my bedroom by putting the long side of my bed against the wall, which meant that the foot was up against my filing cabinet and the boxes of files that needed to be put into the cabinet. This made it really hard to change my sheets and make my bed generally, and I couldn’t really get to the boxes of files and...

emmaxgudith asked: this blog has changed my life. someone who's coming from where i'm at emotion-wise and living quarters/situation wise, as well as uses a word such as unfuck? i love you and everything you stand for. i cannot thank you enough. i'll be sure to submit pictures as i continue to unfuck my bedroom. it's been a good 3 years since it's been remotely tidy and with your help and...

mxandb asked: My biggest problem? Unfucking my habits. Seriously. Every night is chaos. Every morning runs smoothly now that I can make my Monday self love my Sunday self but getting my Day self ready for my Night self? A mess. Any tips, lists, things you can shout at me to get calm and quiet for a good night's sleep? So far, my first step will be TV/Computer off at 9pm (basically one hour before bed)....

This might be the exhaustion talking

but when people post about how UfYH is changing parts of their lives for the better, or makes them undo lifelong bad habits, it brings tears to my eyes. Like, I’m so moved that I’m not even going to gif it. That much.

hufflepug replied to your post: So there is some kind of infestation of maggots or other gross bugs in the cabinets of the apartment I just moved into. The landlords have turned out to be hideous people but I need to get this dealt with ASAP. I tried cleaning with all my might but it didn’t work. Any tips for getting rid of this and SANITIZING? omg NIGHTMARE I lived very briefly in a state that...

I HAVE SEMI UNFUCKED!*

hayflick: *Semi because my pain kicked in before I had a chance to scrub my glass tops and get the hoover out. I still need to fold up the clothes and give the floor a once over, and then I’M DONE! PHOTO HEAVY, EVERYTHING’S UNDER THE CUT! Read More

Random laundry tips:

Facing the Big Rock Laundry Mountain? Do loads of like items. One load of all socks and underwear, and you’ll find that putting it away is a snap. One load of stuff that gets hung up. One load of stuff that goes in the middle dresser drawer. Save time in the crucial “put it away” step. Accidentally leave a load in the washer overnight? Put it through a rinse/spin cycle with a half-cup of...

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS MY HUSBAND MADE THE BED

cleanallthehouse: Er…. DON’T JUDGE HIM. THIS IS MAJOR. (As you can see, the bedroom is on the list for unfuckery eventually.) BUT GUYS! GUYS! I’ve been making the bed every day for a couple of weeks. I also make the bed upstairs. Today I took a shower, came in AND THE COVERS WEREN’T AT THE BOTTOM WITH PILLOWS SCRUNCHED ALL UP IN THERE. And I DIDN’T ASK HIM OR MENTION IT BEFORE OR ANYTHING. ...

baconqurlyq asked: This weekend, I found a new level of unfucking. I just got a new job that has a very long commute. I leave early in the morning, don't get home until 8 some nights. So I was doing too much takeaway. Today I did all the grocery shopping for the week, the chopped up veggies and per-prepped for a week of tossing food into the crock pot then coming home to a cooked meal with salads quickly thrown...
