Good morning, guys and dolls. gaylem I'm so sorry about your brother. I hope the desqualoring skills you've honed here make the dejunking easier. 1. Bed made 2. Dressed 3. Started machine of laundry that soaked overnight 1. Cleaned baking pan 2. Filled out Resolution tracker 3. Printed a document I need this week and secured it to the door (I turned the back of my front door into Planning Central with a calendar and magnetic clips) 1. Sort a bag 2. Deal with wet laundry 3. Work on the dreaded draft

Gaylem, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope the happy memories soon overcome the grief.
I need a power hour - every room I walk into I see half done things. Here I go:
1. Put wet laundry in the dryer 2. Clean litter tray 3. Take out trash

I'm just crawling along... solidarity to all. ♥️
TA DA: *Start tackling the bathroom (I broke down the recycling boxes that were in there- more room now) *Start tackling the stove area (only a tiny bit of progress, here, but it IS progress) *Go from there (I started sorting laundry, and I took some recycling and garbage out)
TO-DO: *More of the above. Every step forward with my tidying counts as progress. As it does for us all. ♥️
For now: a break for a meal!

Hi WITty peeps Ta-da: Made progress with taking stuff down but not finished: Finish taking ornaments off tree/shelf. Disassemble tree; put away in carton. Weed out unusable ornaments from container and decor items - it was only 4 ornaments and a stuffed penguin I had gotten at a thrift store, ornaments in trash, penguin being donated. Added 2 nice prs of shoes I will never wear to donation box. Pack ornaments in container. Combined gift bag items into a bag (food, beauty things I will use myself...I over-purchased a bit not knowing what exactly I'd need this year). Start organizing wrapping stuff and put in one box; close box. Put storage box/container and most of the holiday decorations/items at bottom of steps with decorations that need to go upstairs. Took some of the items upstairs; am making trips when I have to go up. Tossed out left over Belgian cookies and some miscellaneous junky food. This is hard for me (perfectly "good" stuff), but is for dietary and health purposes. Tossed out a few expired items from pantry shelf. To-do: I have to do amnesty thing with more holiday treats lurking around - a bag and box of candy canes, 4 chocolate squares in bottom of handbag; a gourmet cookie in handbag..a container of tootsie rolls. I am finding it difficult to toss this fun stuff, but don't have options for sharing due to pandemic at moment, not sharing food at work etc. (pre-covid, could just take it all in and it would be gone within hours!) I can't leave it hanging around or I will eat it, sooo just doing it, taking trash to dump tomorrow so it is out of my life. Keep weeding out pantry and organize what is left. Keep taking holiday stuff up to storage. Close up storage boxes; stack.
