Good morning dear WITers!
ta-da: Up, meds to cat Prepared and ate some breakfast Loaded the dishwasher, I'll run it later today Watched a bit of a video about Swedish Death Cleaning.
to-do: Continue with decluttering/dehoarding: Goal areas are the entry and the downstairs bathroom If I feel resistance, just 5 items at a time Shred more paper Take out compost, and give scratch grains to chickens
Later: CLA meeting Go for a walk Food prep for tomorrow (Easter breakfast at church)

ta-da: Started the dishwasher after adding more items Compostables out, got the mail and put it into the recycling box Shredded part of pile of paper (then emptied the shredder) Did a tiny bit of decluttering. Sometimes I just get stuck with what to do with all this stuff. Called into CLA meeting
to-do: Continue with decluttering, little by little

ta-da: Sorted through most of a box that must have been, apparently, filled back in 2000-2001. It contained a textbook of mine with a copyright of 1972 , magazines, and catalogs along with other random stuff including some parts to child-appropriate craft kits that someone must have given to my daughter way back then. Most this stuff was either tossed, put in a box to be recycled or shredded. I also found the program from my grandmother's funeral from 2000. I will scan it and upload it to Ancestry. Eating lunch now while I listen to a CLA meeting. to-do: Scan grandmother's funeral program Continue with decluttering I may try to swap out an electric heater that keeps malfunctioning. It is a hard-wired heater and was installed as a used heater nearly 40 years ago. I have a couple new heaters that I had planned to install elsewhere in the house, a couple years ago, but have not done so. (We ran the wiring when we built the house, but didn't put heaters in 3 rooms. It's a long story.)

ta-da: Brushed the cat for a while. She has some knots/matting on her belly. She is a long-haired cat with curly hair on her belly, I don't know how common that is, but it makes it prone to tangles. I got a ton of fur off of her, but the tangles on her belly are still there. I'll probably have to cut them out, but will need help.
I took the old heater out of the bathroom, and partially installed the new one. They are different brands and styles, so it took a bit of figuring to know how to hang it. I still have to connect the wires, but that shouldn't be too difficult.
I emptied the dishwasher
to-do: I would like to go for a walk
Connect wires to the heater. I am contemplating shortening them first. I probably should... then turn the circuit back on and test it out.
Think about food prep for tomorrow, make a plan, what to do when. This stuff always takes longer than expected.

Oh beesnest, that is frustrating when caulk gets mold growth, and won't come clean, especially when it is supposed to be mold resistant. goldenthreads, I hope that you're enjoying your book club reading! ta-da: Shortened the wire for the heater, and connected it, then turned the circuit on. Everything is working as it should Went for a walk Finished installing the heater (Anchored it in place, etc) Did a bit more tidying up I'm supposed to bring an egg casserole/quiche type dish in a 9"X13" pan tomorrow. I used two have 2, one may have broken? I don't remember, but I can't find either. Did I leave it somewhere? I guess I can use another size, but I am frustrated right now. Found some rotten apples when I was looking for the pan. Threw them out. to-do: A bit more tidying up in the bathroom where I put the heater. Decide what I will do for the baked egg dish Check on chickens?
