good work diane and mamaangie, you guys are getting things done! you're doing fine little scholar and i agree with you about pack first for anxiety relief. how nice about laundry and how cute about cindarella. pack pack pack!
i did 3/4 tasks and am very pleased with my garbage pick up (inclduing some sweeping) results. as i always am. i even took some things out of the freezer to throw away which means i will have to take the garbage out sooner rather than later before it starts to smell.
will make self take break now. tea and a cookie maybe. or cinnamon raisin toast. it took me 4 tries to spell raisin, oof.
but i need a plan for after.
find another place for giant board thing. gather recycling take out garbage and recycling put stationary things in cabinet put yellow plastic chair in bathtub find scissors, cut rag wipe dog with peroxide to stop itch

Master bed made with clean sheets & comforter Pulled bedside lamps down from bedroom closet and put on night stands. (We put these away 4 or 5 years ago. I think our son is out of the terror mode now. !) Gathered dirty laundry from K's room Gathered dirty dishes from K's room & put in dishwasher K shower, dressed & hair brushed K brunch & meds Unpack husband's overnight bag from hospital (I already took my stuff out 3 weeks ago! Was waiting for him to do it. haha! Clearly it's low priority for him. When I packed that bag it still had items from 3 months earlier from surgery #1 stay.) Break down a few small boxes and put in recycle Strip K's bed and make Rotated laundry - towels in dryer and bedding in washer I need a break. I am sweaty and my son is asking, "Don't you want to lay down with me?" He has already found his way into my cleanly made bed. haha!! If I lay down, it's all over though. !

Great work puppybox! I cheated with my kitchen trash and the bag only made it to the porch since I emptied it at 7:30 am in my pjs. Hubby will probably grab when he comes home if I don't get out there. My yucky in the trash was the cat poo from the naughty kitty!

i did all my tasks except take out garbage and recycling, but i took dogs for a nice (at baddog's pace) walk. gooddog could use another but too bad for now at least.
i am allergic to my herbal tea that i bought.F that. it cost $5!my mouth is all itchy and stingy now.
i will make (boil) some pierogies. yum. and make some real tea. and feed dogs. and finish mopping up the water one spilled.
i need to buy more ham to hide dog pills in and i dont wanna. im so brooooooke. (do not reccomend things, i have already tried them. i just want to vent).

Puppybox, books! Sounds like you got rid of some. What kind of tea are you allergic to?
I ended up getting a call from my decluttering client, and then did a little file cabinet paper sorting, and that's near the couch, where the cats were asking for attention. So I sat down there, and relaxed, and dozed off--on and off--for I don't know how long. Then my sister called, very upset because she waited all afternoon for a delivery of her new couch, and even though they called early in the afternoon saying they were on the way, they never showed up! Isn't that weird? And because it's the weekend, she can't reach anyone about it. I don't blame her, I would be really mad too--especially since she moved things to get ready, and had the dog closed up away from the front door for the whole afternoon.
I've just eaten dinner, and now I have one last chance to do something productive today. I think I will set the timer for 10 minutes in each room and see if I can't at least get the main rooms looking uncluttered.
I'll start in the kitchen, since that's the worst one.

allergic to stash brand mango passionfruit herbal tea but it's not those 2 ingredients, its probably the orange peel (i went to read whats in it).
i will do more books! i feel positive about it which is unusual. im focussing on what to keep and it'shelping. i'm keepingmore but not feeling guilty about it, and at the end i will be able to feel actually done for once- i hope. that's my theory.

Magda, when do you leave for your business trip?
im focussing on what to keep
Puppybox--this was the key for me! The space available idea--what space are you willing to devote to a particular category of item? And then pick the best/most wanted, until the space is filled, then the rest has to go. Much easier than picking up every item in your apartment and saying "do I want to keep this?" because of course--the answer will be yes.
After 10 minutes in the kitchen I did about 20 minutes on main desk paper. Next is 10 minutes in the DR.

I did 15 minutes in the DR, then 10 minutes of stretching. Now I will do a cat feeding and start on my night time routine.

diane. i moved furniture so she could sniff there. she was semi satisfied then baddog came and interfered. i hate to say it but i'm t doing the opposite of what you said. because your way is the way that failed for me . no thinking! no reasonable behaviour! it fails! only emotions! but pure emotions not mutant ones like guilt.
