This is a big house with still lots of stuff, and in some areas, there is still gridlock. I need big days getting lots done to be where I want to be by Jan 1. So I want to get lots done today. Not 'maintaining' but 'decluttering'.
done - mostly little steps that will add up: -refilled water bottles -carried box to it's home -put more stuff in recy
todo when it's warmer: -put two large items into main recy bin -free small area in garage to allow a chain of tasks

Been working in the garage. Disgusting. Dust, rodent scents... Well, it's gotta get done.
Done: -30 minutes in garage -filled one large trash bag -stacked several empty boxes to be trashed
Need to call to arrange special trash pick up. We get one or two free each year.
edit: just arranged one for next week. That should give me a good amount of time to gather things. Feeling better already. I need to move a few things around out front, but can begin moving trash bags there for holding even now. And they'll be mostly out of sight from the street.
Yippee!!! I'll be getting rid of that old exercise bike someone gave me! A real millstone.

Did another half hour or so in the garage, then just had to stop. Tomorrow I'll take the car out and attack the area from another angle. Maybe later I can do some work inside the house where it's more comfortable.

Plan for the day - slightly amended from what I thought last night. I've decided to work in the cleaner air of the house, to clear the hallway to make moving things around easier. There are just too many things in the way. Todo: -organize the 'emergency' water bottles -put away the vacuum and rug shampooer -deal with 'the boxes' in the hall.
