Thanks, CanDo! So much of it is daily stuff, but I'm trying to get ahead and get as much garbage out of here as possible, put stuff away today, and declutter. I've got the blue recycle bin yawning at the back porch, waiting for a "deposit." I have my helper coming over Friday morning, so I have to get as much done as possible. He will only be outside (carrying trash to alley, etc.) So far, I can't let anyone in yet. Thanks for the cheers! It helps a lot knowing you're cheering me on.

Saffron--You and me both going thru the same things. Trying to keep up with daily type stuff & get the house good enuf to have someone come over. Yep, Dmom came, but it was very embarrasing & she was here to try to help me and she's my Mom. But, I would love to be able to have people inside... I think that we are both really getting lots more done here lately. I know it is especially hard for you with working, etc. So, great job on all that laundry and trash evacuation. OH...and on that bag of bills!!!! CD

Thanks CanDo! Someone in chat asked me last night what room am I proud of. I had to look around and say, "None." No room is in order. I'm going to focus on one area to desqualor today, all the while keeping up on the daily must-get-done stuff. I go back to work tomorrow night, Friday. Hang on...Here goes...

So, Saffron. You got lots done today, but was wondering which area or room you decided to focus on in addition to the daily type things.... Your bedroom? CD

Yes, I'm working on the bedroom, specifically my bed. I'm going to shred some papers right now. I just put a stack in the recycle bucket, and I've got my bills ready so I can write some checks. I'm also going to stack some papers on my DAunt's box of her stuff. I'm making a little progress. It would be nice to have the bed clear by bedtime.
How are you doing today?

Saffron--I had a pretty good day today, but feel that I should have done more... too much time on computer... I added some more checked boxes to my main post on my Eating Area thread... I have made visible progress in that area but just seems like there will be no end. HOping to get much more done tomorrow. Need to do more stuff related to identity theft...police reports to credit bureaus... Hate even thinking about that.. I hope you got to sleep in your bed. Papers are soo tuff and looks like you have other's papers to deal with, too. I do not envy you on that.............. You really did a whole lot today, Saffron. Hope you are sleeping well. CD

Thanks, CanDo. You really have done a lot in your eating area. Yes, I slept in my bed. I've always been sleeping in it. Half of my full-sized bed has always had papers, junk, clothes, you name it stacked on it. It was much better last night---almost clear. So, I go back to work tonight. My helper, EB, couldn't come over this morning, after all. It's okay, because I have to pay bills and I can handle the stuff he was going to do. Let's not give up. Thanks so much for your concern, your support.
