Glad to see you here, Crazykitty! I saw your other post; good for you working on the kitchen. Hi, razy! The things I returned to the stores weren't necessary for the purpose I bought them for. The old me would have hung on to them because they'd be useful someday. I got about $27 back. Went to bank.Went to first store with returns. Went to second store with a return. Declutter 20 minutes. Clean bathroom sink. Clean mirrors. Clear kitchen counter.
Fold and put away towels and rugs. Wipe down interiors of washer and dryer. There's some sand in there from the towels; sorry to say there were no beaches involved. Tomorrow Add current tag decal to car. Errand: other library to return book. Rake leaves.

Started a load of dishcloths and dish towels. Folded and put away towels and rugs. Got ready for bed. Between traveling east and the autumn clock shift, I am getting up earlier and getting tired much earlier than before. Of course! I hope to stick with this natural schedule. tomorrow Clear kitchen counter.Wipe down sandy interiors of washer and dryer. Add current tag decal to car.

Good Day all you WITers! Ahhh ... Raking leaves... goldenthreads, they have been falling like crazy over the past week around here. My DH cleared the leaves off of the driveway, and the next day, you can't even tell! I do like fall though. ta-da: Got up and let chickens out and medicated cat. She hasn't been eating well in several days. I'm not sure what's going on with her. Made and ate some breakfast, sipping on some tea I had picked up a free frozen turkey on Thursday, and put it in a cooler to thaw. I just prepped it to bake. I usually cut it up in portions to use in soups and other recipes over the winter months, and make stock/broth from the carcass. This will be a whole day project, maybe continuing on into tomorrow. to-do: Start prepping healthy rolls. It's been a while since I've made these. Sort through stuff in kitchen/dining area. My DH has taken it upon himself to just throw stuff out, or box it up and put it in the basement. Much of it is stuff that I have resisted throwing out, and I am beginning to realize that I can't keep it all, and I'm not getting as ANGRY as I used to get when he tosses things, but I just wish he'd ask me... (but honestly I usually shut down when he wants to throw out stuff that I want to keep). My problem is that when he boxes up stuff he does it completely randomly. Parts of a hummingbird feeder, in with a music CD and some kitchen stuff, all jumbled together with no rhyme or reason. I've got to start doing this myself. I need to start asking myself what is going to happen to this stuff after I am gone. CLA meeting Continue with turkey this afternoon.

Hi Ally , and all else who is reading here today. Ally said: My DH has taken it upon himself to just throw stuff out,Growing up, my mom was a 'keeper', and my father was a 'thrower away'. Before trash pick up, every week, mom would check out the trash can to see what dad had chucked in there, that she considered still 'good', ...and she'd retrieve it. This was before wide-spread garage sales and thrift stores, thankfully, or I suspect mom would have been a 'successful' hoarder. Like me. They fortunately did find compromise with their opposite traits. A relaxed start this morning: -cat water and food attended to -refilled water filter and made cocoa -put most of the new bale of toilet paper rolls into their final home. todo: -litter boxes, scoop and refill -work in back room or dining room, 5 min -dishes It's Saturday, a prime day to get stuff done. But...

Good morning BetsyMarie! Yep... DH hoards some things, but not the same things I do. We had an unusual situation where we had to remove some window trim to put on a window air conditioner. I would have saved the window trim for when we remove the AC unit and replace the window, but he burned them all... then there are weird things he saves that I would toss. (He has buckets of hickory nuts that he has picked up on our property.) ta-da: Emptied the dishwasher and began to reload it. Took some food scraps out the the chickens Started making healthy rolls Reorganized some things in the kitchen. I really need to do a pantry clean-out/reorganization. Called into CLA to-do: I'll be back later.

BetsyMarieThis sounds like a cliffhanger. What will happen next? Hi, Ally! The turkey production sounds tempting. I used to do this, too. Wiped down sandy interior of dryer. The second load of wash took care of the washer. Transferred load to dryer. Cleaned up spilled sand in laundry room. Also plugged in hand vacuum that I'd neglected. Shower and get dressed. Wash dishes. Clear kitchen counter.Add current tag decal to car. Errands: Goodwill and other library to return book. Rake leaves.
