Not sure if this is work and careers but I see it as a result of work and careers. As I approach retirement, I get irritated that I have been working for over 30 years now without a more than 2 week break at a time, and I literally need a 6 month vacation just to be able to get even with where I was 30 years ago.

For instance.
- I have a sweater that needs two buttons that I still haven't had a chance to replace.
- the people who lived here prior to me had CFL light bulbs and when I replaced them now I have to find a place to recycle them.
- apparently, it is illegal in my state now to throw out textiles... and since my trash collection is monitored - HOA -- I now have to take old sheets and towels to a recycle bin.
- all my various cables from 20+ years of cable television now have to be taken to recycling.
- I have at least 10K emails I need to go through at some point and delete.
- who knows how many things I have subscribed to over the years that I would like to delete my account.

Anyone else feel like this? I need 6 months just to return myself to normal. Or am I just bad at life.

Off to search for someplace to get rid of my CFL light bulbs.

Could you donate your textiles? Like a shelter or they don’t take them?
