Bree, I think you're right to stand up to chaos on the project issue--I know everyone has to go along with things their boss wants even if they don't want them, but there's an ethical line and in the end you'll look good for saying you won't mislead people about your work. That doesn't always protect your job, but it protects your self-respect and you'll know you did the right thing.
What's happening with her new boss--is s/he there yet? I just can't imagine a boss putting up with what she does unless she has some "in" in the company and she can't be fired.
Next:
Take dog out and feed her 10 minutes on first floor Move laundry to dryer Put downstairs groceries away

So, I finished working on the box of books that I'm going through for the challenge. Very interesting psychologically, books have not yet released their hold on me.
My decluttering client finally called me back, we hadn't talked in several days so we had a lot to catch up on. I took the dog out again.
I have about an hour left until dinner, until then I need to catch up on some plant care because I'm behind on that too.

Hi all! Twinkletoes you are doing an amazing job today!
Done: Dropped off a car load of trash at the recycling centre Ran errand to pump up tires and picked up lunch for tomorrow while I was out Cleared air dryer and folded clean laundry Changed kitchen towel Changed downstairs bathroom towel Set out clothes for tomorrow Achieved dining table zero Dehaired vacuum Dusted hallway light Dusted corridor and stair baseboards Dusted inside bannisters on both stairs
Edit as I cross posted- interested to hear about how you got on Diane. I'm at the point where I think I might be able to get rid of some books, though annoyingly I can't physically get to my bookcases yet, until I've cleared more space in the spare room.

Hello reve and scholar!
Reve, I have been working seriously working on reducing the number of my books for several years now, I have made great progress, because at one time I pretty much had the equivalent of a small room completely filled with boxes of books. This was just one box of books I was working on, I will report on it in detail in the challenge thread because it was one of my Late Winter Challenge goals.

Happy friday - what a busy week this has been and there is no end in sight! I need to make a list and focus!
Light snow overnight. I should have shoveled so that the slushy stuff doesn't freeze. But I didn't. So I will have to slip and slide or hope it stays on the warm side and I will shovel tonight.
have a great day everyone!
