I went through 2 small baskets that hold pens and small things. Threw out 15 small items and shredded old pay stubs. Found 2 important things I was looking for.

Feeling rather depressed at the moment. The mice are back inside again. Haven't seen a trace of them for the past five or so months, but since the new side fence was put in last week it must have disturbed their outside habitat. These horribly unwelcome little squatters were accompanied by a battalion of very mean looking huntstman spiders who must have been very well fed in their last abode because they are huge. The one I am watching crawl up the wall at the moment has a leg span of about 6 inches. Oh and just to top it all off my dishwasher has packed it in. At the moment all I want to do is scream and swear at it, but I guess I really should be saying "thank you " for the ten years of trouble free dish-washing that I never expected to get from such an el cheapo machine. Ah well until I can afford to get a new one it is back to hand washing dishes in a small kitchen that was not designed adequately for hand washing dishes.

I like how you turned the dishwasher into a hero for 10 years service. Great attitude.
I saw dh emptied his contents from the closet floor onto the carpet for me to do... well as the roomba won't vacuum over crap I got to work. I put away most but added 10 things trash from bedroom floor 10 things trash from my suitcase 10 odds and ends found easily by looking around.
