One job led to another in the kitchen.
Done: -dry dishes put away -dishes washed -fry pans wiped down and put away -everything removed from stovetop -stovetop degreased and cleaned -backsplash degreased and cleaned.
That had not been on today's list, but it looks Great! I would really like to keep the stovetop free of all things. I tend to leave pans there 'at the ready' out of habit. No... put them away!

Done: -moved large vacuum and shampooer into 'laundry' room -put away some canned food (from the adjacent floor) -tidied the cat feeding area -cleared some miscellaneous 'stuff' -organized some rags -vacuumed the entire hall area and environs. And emptied the vacuum.
Part of this area had not been vacuumed for a very long time.

About 2 hours later after working in the garage... 4 trash bags, 2 boxes of old picture frames, and two suitcases are now in the trash heap. I'm stacking these on the driveway, and next Tuesday late, I'll put them on the street for Wed pickup. There is so much more. There are 5 1/2 large cupboards that have lots of boxes from 25 years ago. I'm hoping there will be lots of school papers that can just go into recycling. Too bad the recycling container is now full. I seem to have saved everything that ever came into my life.

Plan for today: -exercise -visit with friends -leave car outside -work in the garage.
The main decluttering plan for today is to work on the boxes of stuff that are lining one wall in the garage. I've just taken them for granted for several years now. I'm hoping it's mostly junk to go, or papers to shred.

I did work in the garage this afternoon, but not as much as I would have liked. Tomorrow the plan is to take the car out, and put charity items into the car from the garage, mainly to get them out of the way.
The main thrust will be to fill bags and discard as much trash as possible. there is one corner in particular that needs attention, and I'm not looking forward to it.
After the Wed special trash pickup, my plan is to return working inside the house. The bedroom and dining rooms would seem logical places to work.
