TML, clearing blocked storage furniture is one of the best goals you can have! Not only gets rid of a pile of stuff, but also lets you put other piles of stuff away once you're cleared access!
Now I need to get going.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client Start dishes soaking Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

On my third load of laundry Clean stuff folded and put away Stuff for my DD is in the car for when I see her later Table is out of the glam room and base of new table is in there (just need to bring up the top) The table I took out is headed to the guest room and I need to clear out that spot. I boxed up some baby items and that helped. Dishwasher still needs to be unloaded (sink is gathering mugs and silverware) I sold the maple headboard and footboard I had I watered my plants (thanks for the reminder Diane) I am trying hard to focus on PUPA. not clearing a spot and just creating piles of stuff to go elsewhere. Before the end of the day I would like to get a bathroom or two clean.
Had a very busy day yesterday with Miss E (My sons GF's DD) I brought my mom in the morning to visit my dad, after I brought mom home I went to get Miss E. We went to McDonalds then back to my mom's and participated in the craft group. After helping to clean up we went to a small local mall to see a movie. We had to wander around a bit before the movie started. We Saw Migration - a cute animated movie about some ducks trying to get to Jamaica but end up in NYC. They do end up in Jamaica by the end. We then went bowling then to the diner. I picked up DS and brought the both of them home. I slept til 9am this morning.
Okay folding and putting things in order seems to make me feel better so I am off to do that

My senior client called and talked for a long time. Honestly, it completely tired me out, because it's hard to follow some of the things she says.
I still need to eat lunch.

I'm giving up on today. After lunch my Walmart order came, it was delivered from the store so it was in regular Walmart bags, so I grabbed all of them and moved the dog gate from in front of the stairs to go up and somehow hit the top of my knee so hard on the door frame that I saw stars. So I was limping around, and then my shopping friend called again and talked for an hour. So I have admitted that this is not going to be a productive day.
There's an hour left until I have to make dinner so I'm going to play around with my desk area and do more arranging of files and stationery and office supplies, that's a sort of fun thing that I can do sitting down.

I am still working on freeing up space. This is really hard which is probably why i didnt do it right away after they finished up the floor. I guess I will do it bits at a time and just keep at it.
I need to brush kitties tonight. I need to send one work email. I need to clear off my bed I have been sorting stuff on. It was empty this morning and now it is a way to much sort.
What have i accomplished:
All my dishes are done - washed and put up All of my laundry has been washed and dried. I now need to fold it all and put it up which is why I am finally getting the blocked areas cleared out as i want this to be a one and one deal and not a fold and put on top of something and have them fall off and need folded again.
I also got my car cleaned out and washed. I still need to do some more dusting in it but it looks pretty good. I also cleaned out the garage. I cleaned out the fridge too. I cleaned up the kitty areas - cleaned, swept, dusted, straightened them up
I still have a ton to do but slowly it is getting better.

TML, that is a lot to accomplish! Are you off tomorrow?
I am getting ready for bed, hopefully tomorrow will be a day free of phone calls except the usual one to my decluttering client.
Good night everyone, see you in the morning!

Oh, the weekend is ending!
I read through the posts- you all did a lot! I didn’t post since yesterday morning- I did go out to my lunch yesterday. The person who was joining us came a half hour late so we ordered later and it took longer. It was still fun, but by the time I got out of there, it was quite late afternoon, I did go to the HomeGoods store and I bought some bins and a little rug. I’m not exactly sure if they’re the right ones but they’ll do for now. I wanted a pretty b basket to put on top of my refrigerator to put all the pet snacks in but I think it’s too bland. Love the little rug.
After the shopping, it was getting quite late so I took the puppy for a walk -was very very cold in the 20s windy snowing… we were almost the only ones at the park , by the time I came home from that I just cooked dinner and then I took the rest of the evening off
today got up. I went to church and went right from church to the grocery store. put those all away. I had a little bit of time before I had to take the puppy for a walk …, once again. It was very cold in the 20s snowing and we were once again almost the only ones in the park. Meanwhile she’s absolutely blissful. She loves the snow! It’s really sweet but I was feeling quite battered by the time we got home because she was so enthused today and she kept running and pulling on a leash a lot
when I came home I cleaned the litter, took out the trash
I ended up cleaning out the refrigerator- it was really a mess so I purged a lot of stuff. Wiped down all the shelves and bins
made a humble dinner. I didn’t do most of the things I planned to do this weekend but I’m happy with what I did get done. Now shortly I will head to bed and do my nighttime routine to a shiny sink and some pick up put away And get us ready for the week. I want to go pick out my Lenten challenge tonight so that I can drop it off on the way to work tomorrow. Good night!

hi everypony!
well guess what, the wallet was out on the lawn this morning, with everything except the cash ($40). We think it was a neighborhood kid. Just grateful the returned it!
we had a delicious dinner last night--crock pot pork--but it was aged enough that I got itchy hives. so took a second benadryl at 1:00 am, which means I slept in until 2:00 pm. missed day 3 of an estate sale, but that is probably all for the good.
DVD charged his car and we did slow shopping. picked up burgers and brought the to DPs'.
I've done a tiny bit of PUPA. new hives tonight. hopefully taking the benedryl earlier will allow me to get up earlier. my 2.5% cream doesn't seem to be touching them.
I"ll probably work a bit more on the doll organizing project I started last night. I got new storage boxes, so have a place to put some clothes.
