Hi CriticalMass 🙂
WAY TO GO!!!!
You're doing GREAT! 😀

Good Morning Everybody 🙂

Hi Tatoulia 🙂
You have done fantastic this month!
Having a percentage goal has been very motivating for you. (((HUGS)))

Hi Pain 🙂
How's it going?

Just another very sad and discouraging weekend here.
Again he did nothing to improve the living conditions here and he went "shopping" and brought home more useless stuff.
The toilet hasn't been fully flushing for months now.
I have done everything to fix it but it's just too ancient and worn out.
Needs to be replaced.
He gets nasty to me whenever I mention it.
Scooter's (the cat) eyes still hurt and he has a Vet appointment today.
I keep saying I think it's allergies but the Vet has yet to try that diagnosis.
Yesterday afternoon was beautiful but cold so the cats & I all went outside for half an hour and played in the garden. 😀

Tomorrow is the last day of January 2017.
Look back at all you have accomplished and be proud. 😀

Hi everyone, happy start of a new week!

I sure hope it will be the week my van gets the repairs done. Yes, I am still waiting. Friday it didn't happen. Left a message with mechanic about an hour ago, haven't heard anything back. I'm trying so hard not to become discouraged about this. It irritates me of course that the whole business affects the portion of my decluttering plans involving trips to the storage unit. Guess I'll just have to do more here at the house in the meantime.

With all that in mind, I'm going to refrain from posting about the subject of vehicle repairs anymore until that happy day, God willing, when I can announce the work has been completed. It's just getting too tiresome to post these ups and downs; I feel like a broken record. So that's that for that.

This weekend I had some good accomplishment, though. I love it when I start in intending to do just a little and more comes of it.

I went out to the storage unit Saturday, and did the following:

--located a book I wanted to look at

--took the doll clothes crafting ribbons and trims out of drawers and put them in flat plastic storage boxes that had been emptied by the Great Yarn Destash of 2016

--sorted a few of my doll clothes in progress sweater boxes to locate trims that could consolidate into those large trim boxes. I no longer meet with the other ladies weekly for sewing sessions, so I can re-centralize the location of all ribbons/trims.

--compacted the contents of two large cardboard boxes that have been riding around in my van since my move mid-2015. Put the stuff to keep in a plastic tub that was empty, and ditched the cardboard boxes, clearing more space in the van.

--with the flattened boxes and some miscellaneous, that made a black trash bag full to go in the dumpster at the storage place!

--found a few bits of lace to add to my latest donation bag. I start a new bag as soon as I get rid of a batch of donations, even if I just have one small item. Having a bag going makes me look for more things to go in it.

@Pain - you are doing so well under very trying circumstances and I like your ideas. Especially the tubs. It sparked an idea for future sessions at the storage - I have one really big tub and I'm going to use it as a holding tub during work sessions. That'll help me be able to move around in there and access the shelves. I have shelves that are available to hold things but several of them are just sitting empty while stuff is piled in front of them! Using the "dump tub" to hold that stuff, then sort it and put what stays on the shelves neatly will be a big help. So thanks for the idea.

Word of advice I have to give because my mom was diabetic and my ADD gets so much worse if my own blood sugar dips - be careful about being too jacked up on sugar, caffeine and adrenaline - make a point to get some protein in there too for the steady fuel, okay? 😉 That way you won't crash suddenly. I have an anxiety disorder too so that's a deterrent for me against excess caffeine usage, and I've cut back on sugar since surgery last fall, so I could lose some weight. I find that I'm not having the sugar swings and bottoming out and it feels good not to have them. Your Mileage May Vary, I know, but just passing along my own experiences for what they're worth. Good luck with everything! 🙂

Hello everyone! Good to read your posts.

I am doing laundry and some puttering. I got rid of a comforter today and I took some things that my brother wanted. I am doing laundry and throwing stuff out. Going to call January 10% and for February looking for 30%. The fact this isn't realistic is irrelevant. I have identified one piece of furniture that could potentially go. I do have a piece I want to get rid of but not until I find a replacement and I'm in no rush. I have exactly the furniture I want in my home. It's the other stuff.

So my 30% challenge lives on. Just need to reduce, reduce, reduce. And I believe in myself. I do have some artwork that I will be looking to consign. I should probably get that together and put a date on my calendar to do that.

Good Morning Everyone 🙂

Yes, sometimes when the message board is slow to load, The Daily Chat does not appear until you refresh the page.

It's just a computer programming glitch.
When this site was first created there was not a Daily Chat thread.
Just the help and information threads.
The Daily Chat was added on later and that's why sometimes when the site is slow to load, it doesn't show up.

Ever since I installed Windows 10 on my computer
I have experienced fewer problems accessing sites around the internet.
I have fewer problems with logging in and posting too.

Deleting browsing history and cookies regularly helps keep computers running smoothly.

I know this does not help people posting from phones or using other browsers besides Windows.
I know nothing about other systems, but maybe there is some computer maintenance that can be done to help. ?

Hi Pain 🙂
WAY TO GO!!!!
Getting them motivated to clear out the space! 😀

This is the link to the "view full site" link.

http://www.hoardingcleanup.com/Message_Board/?msgbrd=3

I wonder if the Daily chat was visible on this page too Instead of not discoverable from view full site.

I'm thankful this site exists.
But with the Daily chat being a sub category. This site seems nearly void of activity from the outside. And there's strength in numbers.

Yes
I have to find this thread From a different section .
It's like the Daily chat isn't In front or on top.

I have to navigate to it. I have to know where to find it.

Since my last post 1/27 Friday morning at 5:51AM, I have not been able to access this board.

The Message Board has always been slow to load and often does not include the "Daily Chat" thread. I have to reload, often two or three times, to get the Daily Chat to show up on the main Message Board. The last two days I have been unable to access the Daily Chat at all.

If I didn't know this thread exists I would have stopped looking for it. Anyone else having this problem?

Poked my head in bAck room.
It shouldn't be hard. BUT I know I have alot of emotional attachments to the things in there.
I'll start with the holiday decorations. Because they take up alot of space and have no attachments.
Now I'm painted Into a corner if you know what I mean. Its gotta be good enough to live in like a bedroom. I don't think a good plan will do it.
I'll have to get a bigger storage unit. Or at least a second smaller one.maybe possibly a second unit just for selling and donations. Tax money will help with buying more tubs while they're still on sale.
The smaller ones are cheaper but work better as single layer organizers if I photo them.

That's good enough for today. I'll go buy them now to stay away from mother in law. Not like we fight , just that were not ever been friendly. I know she wants me downstairs so she can have them all upstairs together. But the reality is my wife can't get up and down the stairs. And me and my wife will downstairs together with mother in law. ALOT.
So I'll just stay away till someone comes up with same idea I have about NANN and wife downstairs .
Dad ,Daughter with her friends upstairs.

NANN come Monday through Thursday
I'll be downstairs Friday through Sunday.

Well just thinking out loud.
Lol. I mean typing it out.

Thank you Tillie
Your perspectives are so spot on. Thank you.

Today was a wonderful day.
The first day this house was tidy since we moved in.
I woke them up to foods smells from the kitchen.
Bacon, eggs, pancakes, and coffee.

We ate on the big table.

My daughters friends knocked on the door around noon. They the house was spotless and came in.
I offered grilled cheeses and fries. They accepted.
While my wife laid down. I had my daughter and her friends cornered In the dinning room.
Two of the three girls play guitar ,well they're learning. I told my daughter if she cleans her room all the way . I'd buy her an electronic drum set. The big one . They stared at each other for a few moments. The like a tornado in Oklahoma there was debris flying down the stairs. I was hoping something like this would happened.
They got it all out . Even the good stuff. My daughter was reluctant ,bug her friends just kept at it two more friends came In from her best friends facebook friends.
Her room is now plastered with posters of scary looking rock stars. I did have to help when some drama got started. But I'm trained at crisis Intervention. I distracted them it was easy.
I said where we going to put it (the drum kit) It was like letting the air out of a balloon.

Right then NANN my wife's mom. My MIL. came in and saw what was going on. She pulled me aside and said if I clean out the back room downstairs - which is a 7x15 porch made into part of the house.
I could sleep there . And my wife and daughter could sleep upstairs and use my as a drum practice room. So I put it out there while I had 8 people in help mode. Clear out my room too and get the drums today. Like a bomb went off . It was cleared In an hour. It wasn't bad anyhow. But now is completely emptied...

So I took all that wanted to go to guitar center. And bought a used electronic drum kit. While NANN fixed dinner.

I know I'm about to get exhausted. So I cut out after setting it up. Only the two guitar players stayed. And NANN has some alone time with her daughter.

I've spent the rest of the day putting the tubs in storage. At a slow pace. Drinking coffee. Im sober three years now. As long as I have coffee I don't want to go back to being an alcoholic. I just have know that the caffeine makes me jittery and testy with in laws. So to stay away from the other emotional tigers like myself.

I plan to get home . And no matter what's going on . I'll just clean the kitchen.
I'll wait till next week to see if anyone makes the suggestion to bring my wife's bed downstairs. I already suggested that NANN stay in the drum room for tonight on the blow up bed. She agreed due to slick roads.

This leaves only two rooms left.

P.S. the electronic drums attachment fits my daughters computer. The computer fits the 55 inch television in my room. So I left it in there. With the headset . The drums are silent to the downstairs. But she was watching you tube drumming g lessons from chromecast and using the computer software she could see on the TV Too.. she's having fun and has some friends in the house again.
Chokes me up.

That's all for now.

Good Morning Everybody 🙂

Hi CriticalMass 🙂
Sounds like you need a Border Collie to keep the espresso bunny and sedated sloth in line 😉

Hi Tatoulia 🙂
With rest, I hope your eyes feel better soon.

Hi Pain 🙂
Please don't be too hard on yourself for not seeing earlier that your wife has been sicker than she has been letting on. (((HUGS)))
Also, all this hard work you have been doing has been to make the home a better place for her.
A room for her mother and a down stairs room for your wife to be in are all very important right now.
All these cleared out spaces will make it easier for her to get around and for people to take good proper care of her.
Of course she's grouchy and argumentative because she doesn't feel good and has fears.
You could talk to hospice about in home care for her and find out all the important information to help ease your own mind.
Also, I would like you to find a grief counselor for yourself and your daughter.
Reach out to people near by, don't try to do this all on your own.
((((((((HUGS)))))))))

I'm in purge mode.
I'm ADD-inattentive.
IM ON sugar and caffeine. Highly motivated.
Not listening, don't care what anyone says , not focused on anything else but the dinning room , the whole Dinning room, and only the dinning room.

It's contents are secondary, however I'm strategic that I'm not just unstacking piles From the dinning room and restacking in other rooms.
All the valuables have been put in single layers In The tubs. All papers have been taken to the scanning desk. The extremely large rolling tubs I keep for each room are full.
I have got down to 90% cleared. I'm taking a break to draw on my creativity for the end game.

My problem is I'm out tubs. If I buy more I wont have places for them.
-------------:::::
OK I've figured out what I'm going to do.
I have 12 Xmas tree bags (hoarded)
I'm just going to stuff the rest of the clutter , into the really big bag, just to contain It. This will usurp timd of the sorting process.
---------::::
All the floor is cleared.
All the tubs are on the front porch.
The really big bag is dragged to the porch.
-------
I've cleaned the dinning table.
Very tired, having a sugar drop.
This has been 12 hours since I started.
This a good stopping point.

I've discovered my wife is more sick than she has been telling me. My emotions s are a whirl of dismay, disconnect, and denial. I no know why she's so upset. She just wants Peace. While I am an emotional Tiger. Daring with my tale. We almost can't get along even when we both agree.

I'll be done with the street level this weekend.
And I'll focus on peace. And just Maintain
I'll keep on next week making the hoard In the back room into a sleeping area. So her mom can Come stay. I want her to go to hospice, but I'm not voicing my opinions about it. I feel like an ass,
I mean I think you guys might understand why I'm pushing to get it done while Im Motivated. But it has to be done with compassion. I was the family member that stayed with my dad as he becAme ambulatory until he passed. My wife is nearer to that point than I thought. I know she doesn't see how close it is either. I'm no doctor, not a nurse . But I've seen it before. How am I going to feel knowing I was cleaning house while ignoring her. Well I'm beating myself up I think.
--------:::::
She took meds and went to sleep.
I cleaned the floors, Window, aND table.
Her mom is coming In The morning.
Good night.
Sorry for not writing back on the personals.
Your all in my thoughts. You guys give me strength somehow. I hope to give some of it back when you need it someday. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

Joan I am glad you are working through your health problems & congrats on your refrigerator victory!

Hello to everyone. Another tough day at work but managed to finish a project and I hope to feel relieved soon. I don't feel it yet.

Tillie I am feeling mostly healed today in abdomen area & haven't seen any sign of internal injury. I don't think it will slow me down this weekend. I'm not at the 30% and won't be by end of weekend but I've made favorable progress and I'm happy about that! I will take the comforter to goodwill this weekend and I have another bag of clothes. I don't think I can shred tonight. My eyes are tired. I'm running dishwasher and will Heat up some turkey soon.

I was only able to skim the posts because my eyes are sore. I'll catch up later.

Well, today was to have been the vehicle repairs day, and my mechanic and I were in communication earlier. So I was guardedly optimistic. But now it's after 4:00 p.m. here so I dunno. I know he had other cars ahead of me. The issue of my place in the overall queue is a complicated one. I think it has to do some with him doing business out of his home and he also does plumbing. Between that and his family there are frequent emergencies. I don't know for a fact but I may also be lower priority since he tries to help me out financially. *makes attempt at philosophical sigh*

To not get all antsy, I've done other things. Checked bank account and other stuff online, sorted more sewing lace. The lace will be evaluated as to whether it can go quickly onto doll dresses I plan on making very soon. Otherwise it may go away. The leftovers will certainly go away.

Also drew a design for part of the quilt top I've got in the works for church. I really like how it came out. Doing artistic and creative things makes my brain happy. Keeps away the ADD brain mode where I just have two settings, "Impulsive" or "Indecisive." The impulsive side is the part that bought too much stuff or jumps from one unfinished project to another like a bunny on espresso. The indecisive part is the sloth on tranquilizers that crawls mournfully amidst the wreckage that the bunny wrought.

Good Morning Everyone 🙂

Hi Anonymoniker 🙂
Thank You (((HUG)))
Wonderful to read your optimistic post today! 😀

Hi CriticalMass 🙂
Thank You (((HUG)))
All those "little" things you did really add up.
Way To Go! for all that tidying at the storage and finding more to donate. 😀

Hi Tatoulia 🙂
((((((((gentle hugs))))))))
Hope nothing is seriously hurt. 🙁
Don't push yourself if you are hurting.
Get some sleep and rest.
Not meeting our goals within the set time frame is alright if we get sick or injured.

Hi Pain 🙂

Hi Joan 🙂
Way To Go! for getting the compost recycled 🙂

The sun is shining and no rain or snow, just frosty cold.
Would like to get out of the house for a while but will stay home and do things here.
No place to go anyways except the store and I am forcing myself to use up all the food I have here first.
I can put off grocery shopping for another few days 😀
Today I will cook rice and a bag of frozen stir fry veggies.
But this morning I will get back to my sewing project and doing the usual daily maintenance.

TTFN 🙂

Morning everyone, Tillie, Tatoulia, Anony, Critical, Pain. Glad everyone seems well.

I am finally able to rest properly because health issues are resolving. In my case, people were quick to victimize me because of my hoarding, but that has been just an outward sign of a deep problem that is finally resolved. It is another case of "blame the victim". Now that the situation is resolved those people will have to find a new victim to blame, or else deal with their own issues.

I am not thinking about the hoarding now. I am working on an immune system problem that recently started to be corrected by a good allergist. I was pleased, however, that when I took my mulch - I keep in it the fridge until it is time to go food shopping, as they have a mulch bin there - anyway, when I took my mulch in yesterday, I included two semi-rotted and semi-frozen apples that had been in my hydrator for years. Only other hoarders can appreciate this as progress. I rate myself not so much on how much I remove, but more on how comfortable I am removing it and how old it is.

Have a good day, everyone!

Quick drive by! Glad to hear from Tillie & CM & Anony & Pain. WTG everyone!

Just got home from work. Going to probably just go lay down. I am extremely tired. I slipped at work today, one of the soap dispensers had fallen apart and there was a clear layer of liquid soap all over the restroom floor. I was propelled right into the sink counter and my abdomen is very painful/straight across where I hit the counter. I think it will be ok, I just need to wait for the bruising to finish coming out and then heal.

I'll head to bed soon. Just so glad to hear from everyone.

This is my last weekend in January & there's still plenty to go before the 30% less of everything has occurred! Still feeling good about it. I will work hard this weekend, as always, with your help.

Anony, good to see you back. The more you reclaim of your life and your space, the more you will reclaim of your serenity, I'm sure of it! Hugs and hang in there!

Tillie, you give US inspiration to keep going too, I hope you know that!

Pain, yeah, I have the ol' ADHD too but I'm going to figure out some "workarounds." Keep posting your progress, it gives me ideas.

Kitty fur is a small price to pay for the delightsomeness of kitties. 🙂

Today I was out near it so I popped in at my storage unit. I thought if I could just do a few quick things. And I did. I found a few more bits of my Steampunk crafting stuff and consolidated them into the Steampunk tub which is in the van for now but hopefully will find a permanent place soon.

I also went through my doll clothes ribbons and lace and consolidated some of it that was in a separate place over to the main place. It will be easy to find and USE UP now. I had purged about 50% a year and a half or so ago, and I think what I have is not bad. Plus as I get the doll clothes made, if I have too many leftovers, they can get donated. I hope to get an Etsy to sell these craft things eventually.

I found two hanks of trim I didn't really like and those went to donation - again, that idea of not keeping stuff around that I'm unsure of. I know I won't miss those trims at all.

To wrap things up, I put some large art and sewing books in an upright crate which will keep them from getting bent - oh, and I got rid of one book too. And I found a book I'd been wanting to refer to for a project.

It all felt good, just those little things! And it gave me some ideas for future decluttering out there. It's always nice to know where I might start the next time.

Hi there, everyone?
Tillie, cat fuzz is a wonderful thing...ha ha...and your outlook, encouragement, determination & humor help keep me going, too!
CM, i totally agree, its the decisions that are the worst hurdle!!!
Pain, i am blown away at how much you are getting done and in such challenging circumstances!
Tatoulia, i thought of you as soon as i read about Mary's passing. Id decided to get her series on dvd after you saying how much she inspired you!
I had a dream where that good feeling id had when picking up little pieces of trash in my yard, was magnified when i left the situation with wanting my boyfriend back. It was a liberating feeling that was wonderful! I looked back at him & his young groupies and felt relieved! I know that fixing my place up will be good! Im also on a deeper spiritual path than ever, and i plan to deepen it....
~♡~Love and Healing to All!~♡~

Good Morning Everybody 🙂

Hi Tatoulia 🙂
Yes! You and the others here do inspire me every day.
The way you all work, the things you sort out, the struggles we all share.
Remember, I live in a massive hoard in a house that has some very serious issues/damage and a squalorous hoarder who refuses to change.
It would be easier for me to just lay down and give up.
But you all give me hope and a good reason to continue on.
Thank You! (((((HUGS)))))

Hi CriticalMass 🙂
WAY TO GO! for donating the lace and dye remover!
Sometimes the smallest things give us the most trouble making decisions on. 😉

Hi Pain 🙂
The way you handled the laundry is fantastic! 😀
Start to finish until it's all done.
WAY TO GO! for all you have done and for selling the bike! 😀
Wonderful plan to close down the kitchen until you have the dining room cleared out.
Allows you to concentrate on that and not back to kitchen cleaning up.

Snowing again, still.
Today planning to start working on making a summertime dress.
Have the fabric and pattern out.
First need to do the usual daily tasks and then vacuum because I layout the fabric & pattern on the floor and the floor is always fuzzy from the cats.
Everything is always fuzzy from the cats.

TTYS 🙂

Glad to hear from everyone.

Critical I do relate to projects that start but dont Finnish. My parts get separated.
If I were to describe my hoarding tendencies. I'm a stacker and restacker. My project to get bugged I to boxes and the boxes tip over and rarely get them all back together. I don't have a lot of drive to finish things to completion. Adhd style of getting g distracted and losing my place In A book . So I never throw away the books. If you Know what I mean.

I hate heart break. But it's the risk we have to endure to do get to that person we bond with.

Today is laundry day.
Nothing else come first.
The laundry, the whole laundry, nothing else buy the laundry until the lay dry is finished.
Otherwise it's never ever done.

There's been a pile of laundry that the wife and daughter won't purge. It's been a coin mountain. About 6 foot tall and feet a across. I took it all to laundry mat while they were out today.
I set up a clothes bar in the storage unit. Bought 50 plastic garment bags and hi g them there. Taking pictures and separated from wife and daughter.
Daughter was glad. Wife was as mad as I ever seen her. Not that I don't care. I just won't tolerate it keeping the house a giant mess . I also took 15 more tubs to storage. I'll need to get a larger storage unit. But at least I have the time and money to get it downsized . So the dining room is 50% clear now I'll need the bigger unit to clear the other rooms,but I'll get the downstairs done. With current capacity. I already sold my first sale item. My oldest bike for $20. I only pay $100 a month for storage unit. Hopefully it will pay for itself as I downsize. I get first month free of three months. I may try and get the same deal in three months for another unit. Will be April 1st.

Kitchen is OK today. Wife was mad and didn't kooc up the place. I'm taking her to dinner tomorrow evening. But the weekend will be all delivery. I'm closing the kitchen until we can eat in a clean dining room. I think that will be Sunday.

Hello again,

This will just be bits and pieces.

Pain, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts about your plans and how it's going carrying them out. It makes this decluttering business sound doable. Sorry your wife is not well, though. I can imagine how that must make you sad. But that was nice that she and your daughter shared a happy moment too.

Tatoulia, you are doing well, and even if I had a quick visual of an "underwear herd" trust me the amusement was priceless! 😉 So don't feel embarrassed.

I haven't gotten large things done this week but the things I did get done I'm pleased about. One was getting a form submitted regarding my student loan debt. A routine thing but I tend to feel a bit uneasy anytime there's something with a deadline. It wasn't difficult really, and it's finished! Then I just wait to hear confirmation back from them.

The other thing I did was take a small bag to donate at the thrift shop. It just had a pair of jeans that are too short, and some craft lace that was white stained with a little red dye and the box of dye remover. Such a classic hoarder thing - most people would've just thrown out the stupid lace, it wasn't anything valuable. But no, I had to go buy the box of dye remover, then read the instructions which sounded scary, and procrastinate in indecision for at least 3 years thus far. The bag rode around in my van after my last move.

So when I put the jeans in the bag I was thinking to look for things to add, and I found that bag of lace and dye remover. I just bundled the whole thing up and stuck it in with the jeans! And today got rid of it. It may not sound like much but it's not bugging me anymore. If they want to throw it away, fine. It's the decision-making I hate most of all. Problem solved. I'm going to do more of this sort of thing - just getting rid of things that I am annoyed that I keep, if you see what I mean.

Anony, glad you checked in. I know you've probably heard it from others but I'm going to join the chorus anyway: Don't let some person who has treated you badly make you feel like your own life is washed up. It's grief and loss but it can be gotten through. If I could tell you what I did/endured back in the day yet somehow survived . . . and am glad I did, and though things are hard they're at least not stuck back in that old rut . . . anyway, grab onto hope and hold on tight. We'll be pulling for you.

Yeah, the 2017 celebrity deaths have started, it was only a matter of time. I remember watching Mary Tyler Moore Show in the 70s when I was pre-teen or teenage. Lots of laughter and good interactions between the characters.

Being a KC Royals fan, I was also shocked and saddened by the death of their pitcher Yordano Ventura this weekend. Another baseball player, Andy Marte, also died in the Dominican Republic in a separate car accident. And there have been others died recently Too much sad. Young men with promise but maybe reckless, I don't want to judge but it's too bad they didn't get a chance to mature out of it.

Tillie--I inspired you? Wow!!! Ok maybe inspired is a big word, but just let me savor this!

Turkey is delicious.

Hi Tatoulia 🙂

WAY TO GO! cooking that turkey for you! 😀
You deserve to have a nice home cooked turkey dinner.
Because of you, today I went through my under wear and tossed some that I was not happy with. 😉

*everytime I watch her show

I understand the cabin fever, Tillie! If I work from home too many days in a row I find my social skills suffer.

Well my role model Mary Tyler Moore has died. Everything's me I watch her show I stare at her apt and think, why can't I just have people over. She is giving me strength and motivation today.

Recycling out and I'm roasting a turke breast. For me. Generally I cook for others but I just want a turkey dinner tonight.

Good Morning Everyone 🙂

Hi Tatoulia 🙂
YEA! for napping after a hard day at work (((hug)))
Just checked before I posted and sure enough, you posted! 😀
Happy you get to putter around home today.
WTG! for maintenance and making up another donation bag!!!

Hi Pain 🙂
Some people need to jot down plans. Some need detailed lists. Some just need a memo.
Having a solid plan, written down, can be very motivating because you can visualize then actualize what needs doing. 😉
WAY TO GO! for changing up your plan to doing something that was not so overwhelming at the time! 😀
Making a staging area for sorting is a great idea.

Cold day, down in the 20s.
More snow the next few days too.
Been having a good time locked indoors, doing "stuff" and thinking a lot.
Getting "squirrelly" with the lack of human contact. LOL ;P

TTFN 😀

Hello everyone. Cleaning out some drawers today to make a bag for donation. Going to step out for a walk in a little while. Need milk and cat litter.

Feeling better after lots of sleep. Doing some laundry. And clearing off dresser. Puttering in between work time.

What are you doing today?

Quick drive-by to say hello. Tense day at work so I came home & napped. I'll write more later.

Be sure to take care of yourself, Pain & Tillie.
