oust Thanks for the thrift store tip! I knew about the many closures, but never thought about where inventory might go. Moving slowly. I will finish this list. Made bed. Got dressed. Took out trash. Do back and arm exercises. Work 48 minutes on table (and its papers). Email/text a few friends I've neglected. Go for a walk. Work on boxes for 5 minutes; declutter at least 5 things from these. Declutter, clean, and return (some of the) items in cutlery drawer.

Oh, my goodness, people! I found my keys! They were missing 11 days. I was about to eat my potentially staining dinner, so I put on an apron. The small, odd weight in the pocket was the set of car/house/etc. keys. I love mysteries, but I won't try to figure out why car keys were in my apron. Another example of the mind-hand gap I have. The good news is that I was going to take a second nap, but dinner + finding the keys has given me an energy and optimism boost. I shall carry on, even though I'll be working later than I prefer. gaylem I'm sorry about your young neighbor, and glad you were able to be tech support for another neighbor. Hello, razy! Went for a walk. Decluttered, cleaned, and returned some of the items in cutlery drawer. Worked on boxes for 5 minutes; decluttered 5 things from these. Do back and arm exercises. Work 48 minutes on table (and its papers). Email/text a few friends I've neglected.

Thanks, razy. It was a huge relief. Did not want to spend a few hundred dollars for replacement, nor tell my friend I needed another key to her house. A dancing banana is exactly the right way to celebrate. 1. Worked another 9 minutes on the table, then quit. 2. Got ready for bed. 3. Set alarm. Need to think about paper. I give it undue importance, so it feels risky to get rid of it, as if I'm destroying important artifacts that historians will need someday. It's getting rid of paper that is harder than anything. This goes so slowly. Tomorrow morning is a new chance to do things differently. Crossed fingers.

Good morning everyone!! I have been MIA. On Tuesday I found out that the real Ernie the cat has lymphoma. By Thursday, he'd had an ultrasound and I found out he has multiple tumors. Tomorrow I have to decide what treatment he should have. In the meantime, he's on steroids, eating, going out in the yard and cuddling with me, so he's fine. I'm a mess. But life doesn't stop, and I have things I've been neglecting that I need to do. Baby steps. goldenthreads - I didn't read all your messages, but can you scan/photograph the paper? I know lots of museums do this in case there is a fire or flood. Paper is so fragile. 1. Look at email 2. Look at Customer Service 3. Start work list for tomorrow

erniethecat so very sorry to hear about Ernie's health issues. Always so sad to have a pet that's ill. I used to have a small photo book on Ernie the Cat, a tuxedo kitty. Happy to hear you found your keys, goldenthreads done: -looked in the drawers of a dresser that might be today's decluttering focus -opened bedroom window -found and positioned pretty basket to collect used dishes/cups next to where I usually eat. This technique has been working very well to keep dishes corralled, so I glammed it up since it now will be permanent. todo -clear one surface -declutter - dresser in bedroom 3 -open front blinds, turn off overnight lights Happy Easter!

Thank you for your kind thoughts. Ernie is my first ever pet - my dad is deathly allergic to everything so we never had pets as a family. I'd appreciate any advice you have about making decisions.
To do
4. Call mum & dad 5. Send note to travel agent 6. Take laundry out of the dryer
1. Look at email 2. Look at Customer Service 3. Start work list for tomorrow
