Welcome to a slob comes clean, the podcast. I am Danny K. White. I share my personal deslobification

process as I figure out ways to keep my own home under control. I share the truth about cleaning

and organizing strategies that actually work in real life for real people, people who don't love

cleaning and organizing. Thanks for joining me today. This is podcast number 431. And I think I'm going to call it

Stretch Thin, pick a skillet. So I started thinking about this. We have one of our very favorite

people in the world who is currently in the hospital. And it's been really, really challenging

and really tough. But catching up and figuring out, you know, hearing

what is going on and all that, there has been a lot of swelling. Okay. And the swelling also means

that there's a lot of pain, right? And it just had me thinking about, like,

that idea of the pain is worse when the skin is stretched too thin, not to get medical

or anything because I don't know anything about medical stuff, but you know what I mean, right?

It's also the same thing of, you know, if I stuff too much stuff into a bag and it hits against something or, you know, some sort of sharp thing nicks it, it is going to spill out a lot more dramatically

than if it's not stretched too thin by it having too much in it, right?

So we have had a lot going on just the reality of life.

I mean, it's nothing bad.

A lot of people I know, though, are stretched really thin with things that they have

going on in their lives that are very difficult.

And it just makes everything feel more difficult.

So it just makes me think about that. Like when there's too much going on,

something that might not otherwise break that's normally plenty strong enough, but if it is

stretched too thin, it means it could break at any time. Right. Like, you know, and it's that

whole concept of this. I think about for Like, you know, and it's that whole concept of this.
