Well the snow storm predicted for last night and this morning never materialized. So here I am at work. I was late driving in and I passed a friend as she was pulling out of her side street. She didnt recognize me so I called her (We both have cars we can "talk" through so it is safe and legal) It was so lovely having someone to talk to on the way to work. Well partway - she works close to home - I have a longer drive.
I stopped at Aldi on the way home and grabbed one of their frozen stir fry meals. Dh was pleased and was taking leftovers for lunch today. Now what to make for dinner tonight......
I helped my parents last night then came home, cooked and crashed. TOnight is wide open so I must do something "useful". Finding a missing document is top on that list.
OK - time to jump in with both feet!

Good morning ohblondie!
Today I catch up on plant care and continue trying to get the whole house to decluttered at the same time...I don't know if that will ever happen.
There was another dusting of snow overnight, not enough to shovel, I'm just hoping it will disappear as the day goes on. It did allow me to see a set of rabbit footprints in the yard this morning, alongside the squirrel and bird tracks! I haven't seen a rabbit since early summer, but obviously there is still at least one around.

Happy Thursday !
Fed animals
Had breakfast
Did work emails
My recycling bin blew open and contents were starting to spread on lawn so I trudged out to clean that up
I did not have my wonderful sleep! I went to bed in sane set up but I was not as cold. Was up past 1 am. Glad it is a work from home today on this wet, windy, cold day.
Next do some paperwork

Diane - one of my goals is to have lots of house plants! I have some windows that would be perfect - once I clear the clutter and can access them.

Good morning bree, ohblondie and oust!
I am eyeing plastic succulents at Target!
Oh no bree!  Not plastic plants!  The waiting room at the dermatologist I went to last year was full of them, and I tried very hard not to look at them...
Ohblondie, which direction do your windows face? I will now be encouraging you to declutter in front of those windows!
I finally shredded a big pile of paper that was on the bookcase in the hallway, now I'm ready to finish that bookcase project.
TO DO:
10 minutes on plants 10 minutes on books Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

At 2:30 she sent me five meeting invites.
Well if they're "invites" just send your regrets! 
I wonder if she did that on purpose--she just sounds so evil.

I don't know Diane, I think my comments just don't matter in her bubble...I had turned down some and she reprimanded me saying I should propose a new time not just decline.
I am so sick of it. but at the same time I need a job ...i am checking listings.
just had a pleasant work phone call with a colleague
did emails
ready to take puppy for lunch walk

Bree, I imagine it's possible to deal with the meetings even though they're boring/unnecessary/annoying, but I just don't know how there's enough time left to actually get your work done without having to work unpaid overtime due to so many useless meetings. Hopefully one day chaos will be gone.
Next:
Take dog out and feed her 10 minutes on first floor 10 minutes plant grooming on first floor Finish bookcase project

Good day everyone!
Being so isolated while sick has made my anxiety with social interactions worse. I feel like a total wimp that I need to work up my courage to make a phone call!

Hi PS, I hate phone calls--I always have to work myself up to making them--but I have always been like this, I'm such an introvert I don't like talking to anyone I don't already know! Good luck with your call!
Okay, next I'm going to make myself go downstairs and mop the small floor area on the back porch--that will finish my porch project. Then I will rest and have lunch, my back and side are hurting.

Today's challenge
Trying to imagine the life I WANT to lead to keep me motivated enough to get out of the life I am CURRENTLY leading.
It is easy to spend all my time imagining a nice clean decluttered home and picture the beautiful table I will set when entertaining, and the beautiful decorations I will put out.
I cannot get bogged down in picturing my goal. It is important to have a goal to keep me motivated.
So I am trying to find the balance between "eyes on the prize" and "getting things done".
that is all!

Ohblondie, can you pick some small surface and imagine that looking as you would like it? And then work just on that very small area to make it look like that? If you do tiny spaces at a time it's not overwhelming and that gives you time to get rid of things as you work. Of course, then you have to defend that area going forward. I know you don't have a lot of free time for decluttering when you have so many responsibilities right now.
I had lunch and a long rest and I talked to my decluttering client.
Next:
10 minutes on PEEPing 10 minutes filing Start dishes soaking Delete 10 hard emails
