Stuff from DD nursery school days!!Magda, were you able to let any of that go? I know that has to be hard. I'm ready for bed, I'm not overly tired and want to stay up, but I will go to bed and read until I'm sleepy. Good night everyone, see you tomorrow! Diane

just the easy stuff! Like packets and worksheets from preschool that were forms etc not her drawings. They might be with me for life. DD is not sentimental! She will toss!
My plan is to purge what I can and categorize -but not minimal ruthlessness.

OK - last night I washed the dishes, including the crockpot. Sometimes that baby will sit for a few days. I got all trash in the can and to the curb (I forgot the recyclables....darn) I started to clear out a corner in my room. By this morning everything had toppled back into the corner undoing all of my work.
There is always tonight....BUT SOMETHING HAS TO LEAVE THIS HOUSE> I can only put so much away... Another morning wasted as I stood looking at the pile of clothes - waiting for something to jump out and hang itself on my body. So many freakin clothes and nothing to wear.... I have to go back to my laying out clothes for the week. I found my missing stockings so no excuses not to go back to proper work cloths.
It is going to be miserable here Halloween night. I think I am going to donate my candy to the church for thse brave souls who will hand out the candy despite the rain. And I am goint to a haunted house tour at our capital.

Good morning!
So last night I tidied up the sewing mess and made another, bigger mess when I made two birthday and one Halloween cards. It was too late to clean it up, but so nice to slip into clean sheets after a shower. Its raining today, but I'm going to run errands anyway. Dashed out the garage door to pull leaves off the windshield when it let up for a bit.
DONE: made coffee and ACV water loaded and ran dw (consignment stuff)
got dressed
checked online balance
checked mail (uh oh a sale) checked messages
updated lists checked notifications and replied put gemstones out for a rainbath bring one "load" of craft stuff back downstairs
ERRANDS: flu shot/submit records request/submit financial form mail gift and cards drop off donations see about reducing phone bill
return milk labels purchase suede waterproof spray
GET READY TO GO: check radar determine route
fill med minder take meds take immune support
locate forms and gather supporting documentation put cards in envelopes and address consolidate donations
fill water bottle unload/load dw load car
tidy craft explosion
you can do it, ohblondie ! (maybe it would help to consider what has worked for you previously?)

Good Morning! After being AWOL for a bit I'm back. My total focus the past few weeks has been finishing up the fence and that is now done. Onward and upward! The house of course is an even worse train wreck than it was and not a lot of time to work on it even now.
Today's Agenda: Move some chickens clean pens/ make compost Get a kennel set up for new dog I'm picking up this afternoon (my poor old boy is exhausted with 2 packs of coyotes coming in and testing the fences so getting him some help. But new dog will be kenneled until he knows his place and I'm sure he won't be a fence climber. Also not sure how the older one will react so this will keep him safe when I'm not around until I see how things go. Spread 2 boxes of moldy hay around for mulch
House stuff: if nothing else I must: pay bills spend 5 min in each room: LR Bathroom Front room kitchen

Good morning ohblondie and mylittlescholar! It's Halloween eve! I stood looking at the pile of clothes - waiting for something to jump out and hang itself on my body Ohblondie, don't you have a spare bedroom now? Can you get some of those hanging racks, since your closet isn't big enough? I know you need more clothes than average since you have to dress a certain way for work. I was lucky, jeans and scrub shirts for my entire work life. I am home all day! Good thing too, because it's cold, rainy and windy out, and looks like it might be that way all day. TO DO: Finish breakfast Clean up from breakfast PEEP kitchen surfaces Wash cat food dishes Diane

Good morning mary!
Yay for finally finishing the fence--I assume your weather is better now?
I thought of you the other day because I was looking at the great plant list from an online nursery in Arizona that I had never heard of before, and I thought--well, at least that weather is good for succulent growing! I wanted to order something from them but it's now too cold here, the poor plants would freeze without a heat pack, and I don't know if they do well being shipped with a heat pack.

Wow maryaz we live in very different places. I am in green manicured lawn world. Are the coyotes trying to attack your dog? Welcome to your new dog. Although I live in a populated town outside of a city, there is lots of wildlife. Yesterday I saw a beautiful full grown fox crossing a neighborhood street on the way home from work. I prayed he/she would be safe- there are plenty of pockets of woods and creeks and parks around here. Lots of green. Today Fed cats Made bed Got ready for work Packed lunch Drove DD to school This morning I also spent some time going through old papers in my decluttering 2019 challenge. Got some done but came across some really sad vet paperwork regarding my sweet brave earlier boycat who fought cancer so bravely. Love to him Work is really hectic today. Had a 9, 10 and 11 meetings. Have three solid hours of meetings this afternoon. Right now I am hiding out in my office eating lunch and trying to de stress

(((magda))) I swear I saw a kitty ghost last night... same place as I saw one previously (near the food, ). So real I had to run downstairs to confirm velcrokitty was still napping. Then I discovered it was National Cat Day! Hello Kitty!
I took a nap, have been rounding things up to leave. Lots more leaves to pick off the windshield! so much rain we are under a flood watch. At least its not snow.
