Good afternoon, I am back from my walks and a trip to the bank. I have had a leisurely lunch and need to get working.
My shopping friend offered a ride tomorrow, so that's all set, but it means I'll be out a good part of the day and will be tired when I come home, so I need to get some things done today.
Mary, I'm so glad you have some relief from the worst of the heat. I've complained a little this week because the highs are going back up towards 85... You are a very handy person to build a fence.
I'm going to do dice roll PEEPing again, it works really well for me.
TO DO:
Clean up from lunch
Wash cat food dishes
Dice rolls for:
Sunporch
Living Room
Entryway

Good to see some returners.
So I cleaned that beautiful house today. Oh my, if I ever win the lottery!
I had to wipe off my Oreak I think that dog from the other day made the carpet smell, which got on my vacuum. I have to take it apart but not til the weekend.
I picked up a few things tonight
Took the laundry to the car
I might get the sheets n towels in another bag for tomorrows laundry expedition. Then I will be up to date.
Warm inside, cool outside so I'm drinking tea on the balcony. I feel bad doing a couple hours work in the evening as someone lives below us. I was moving all night last night so I better not do that tonight too.
So glad the heat has broken for you Mary. I love a cool September.
Oh blondie you always have so much going on. You must be 10 years younger than me, I could never keep up.
Magda. I hope to start 2019 items again. I do have a few from today I could add.
You were the only one who finished the challenge I think in 2018.
I managed 2017 but fell short last year. I have a few plastic bins of B's I have my eyes on. He doesn't know...yet.
His son is about to sign on a huge(to me) house down south. 30 year mortgage is such a long time. I hope he makes extra payments to the principal early. I think he gets the keys soon, which means were going to visit.

Scholar, I'm glad the brunch was successful after all your hard work.
I was on the phone most of the evening, two different calls from my sister, and one from my decluttering client.
I did an inventory of various things to make an accurate shopping list for tomorrow. I got a little more PEEPing done, and I completely finished the dishes and emptied and cleaned out the dishpan.
Now I will start my PM routine and try to get to bed a little earlier.
Diane

Hi oust I did finish the 2018 challenge but I had to go into a little bit if 2019 to make it! I am only at 600 or something this year, so unlikely I’ll make it unless I start counting every slip of paper. Good luck to you! Work was fine today. Two meetings before lunch. Two after. They were relatively painless and they made the day go faster. Went to gym at lunch- that is just so good for my mental state. I feel so good to be there and I end up with a more positive image of myself and my body just as someone who works out. Had to work a little late Came home prepared some good leftovers for dinner with new side dishes so it was pretty easy meal prep Ran an errand to pick up some things for a relative Drove out to her house; dd came along so I had company. It is about a half hour each way Came back home Did the dishes Ran the dryer Next Fold laundry Move wash to dryer Girlcat is feisty tonight! It is good to see. She was sitting by her toys meowing loudly so I played with her and she was scampering about. She just jumped up on the side table to drink out of DD’s water glass  . As she is 15,I am so glad to see her active. Boycat is grooming himself while he sits on half of my shoulder! Human child is off to bed and I shall soon do the same! |

Good night magda! I think of your cats as being young since they're so active, so it always surprises me when you mention how old they are!
I still have cats to take care of, but I will say good night now--see you all in the morning!

Well - it looks like son's plans to move out have been put on hold. Something came up with one of the boys and it has to be on hold for a few months. While I am happy DS will be in the house - I will admit I was looking forward to setting up a new guest room. So my new plan is to empty out the bedroom that is being use as storage and turn that into a guest room.
last night I did do that second sink full of dishes, then drained the sink.....and a plate and fork and lunch container appeared. sigh. oh well, life goes on. the sink looks a lot better with those few random things than it did before.
I also got the garbage out today. The garbage can was heavy from the pantry purge. I granted myself amnesty and just chucked right into the can. I also had a huge bag of recycle along with a big box.
I realized I forgot to empty a casserole dish and never got it in the sink to soak. Oh well - that I can do tonight. I want to try to hose out the big garbage can tonight - it might be the last time I can do that until spring.
I spent time in the original guest room last night. Trying to get summer things packed up. The room is out of control. things are dumped all over. I use the same set of bins for my clothes. So when summer shorts and sweaters are packed away in the bins the winter sweaters and pants are on the bed in piles. I have a possible solution that involves clearing the piles out of my bedroom, because these clothes do belong in my room not a guest room. I am also trying clothes on and donating things that don't fit. Hopefully I can cut down on the volume.
OK - I am caught up on most of my work - so I will focus in clearing off my desk and filing papers.
Tonight I have my potluck dinner at church so I have to hustle home and hose out the garbage can before dinner
Then on to slaying the dragon of clutter!

Hey--did everyone go shopping today?  Where is everyone? I got home about an hour or so ago--the last couple of shopping trips have actually been longer than ever--so tiring. I got a few things I can't get around here though, so it was a good trip. I fed the starving cats and rested for a bit, now I have to put some things away. The whole day is just about over... Diane |

Hi Diane!
I slept in, then did some process-y talking with DM, posted some good news on my moving blog, and I guess that wore me out emotionally cause I fell back asleep! I also stayed up too late. Gotta get back on GA time.
Last night DPs took me to a swing-dance event that they go to often, and I went to meet a woman who is good with art sales and had a sublet in the next town (where I used to live) available over the holidays (11/26 - 1/1). Bottom line, I'm taking it! I am excited about it, as it solves a whole bunch of problems for me and gives us a timeline to pack up and put the house on the market.
DONE: check in w/ DXH approve charges I got notified by via text talk w/ DM check notifications and post check msg and reply
weigh in (now that I found the scale) take meds
NEXT UP: potential call from M/S figure out what to wear get dressed leftovers for dinner

Hi
I just did the dishes and sent positive vibes to a friend. B just went shopping. He loves shopping.
I have more laundry in the bathroom to collect.
I could definitely do something else as I rested for a few hours after work.
