Hi reve! You are lucky to have cooler weather, we will have 4 days above 90 starting on Sunday, I think.
Well, I DID IT! I got the place back to decluttered! That involved putting some hard-to-put away things in the kitchen downstairs and washing some odds and ends that have been sitting in the sink down there for weeks. But it's done, I am back to where I would not be embarrassed if someone walked into every room. Now...keeping it that way, because once I slip it seems it will be very hard to get back here. And, to get it clean as well as uncluttered...
I can now post in the challenge thread, I told myself I couldn't post until I got the place uncluttered.

MLS---"napitated"------  Today, I did the dailies and weeded for 35 minutes out front. It is not finished, but I will tackle more some other time. I went and had blood work drawn; they are checking again because my calcium level has shot up even more than usual. Bought a few groceries and came back home. I have been tired today and fell asleep for a while. Fed cats and myself. Peace out. catcats |

 Diane! peace out, catcats ! DVD came up with that one.  reve are you excited about the progress? or just dealing with the process?
I consolidated the last of LD's stuff. Might put more in the RV, but not until it cools down a bit. I need to make sure everything is locked in and won't slide around.
The craft room is empty, except for the closet, which apparently we are not going to paint. Don't know why that is, as the closet does not have doors. But I have learned that DVD usually has a good reason that I agree with, so I'm just going to roll with it.
we are counting on somepony coming to pick up the bed, as it is on the porch. but DVD has two more people lined up. the first two didn't come.
Meanwhile I have been doing a very ridiculous task--swapping out two different brands of flocked hangers. I need to do this because if my hangers are not exactly alike, I start getting very strung out over how to decide what to hang on which.
I am also fine tuning the hanging clothing as I go. I am more than halfway done with this, then I can fold up the pants and put them away. there really isn't room to hang them in the closet. which is an argument for more decluttering.
We have leftover pizza for dinner, so at least I don't have to deal with that. I do need to do the dishes from breakfast.
I think I'll post my dump list on my blog.

Today i got to the donation center i put together half a kitchen trash bag worth and wanted to take it on my way home. Hard to give up 3 of the things pretty sure i won't think about them after a day or so.
Dh did some dishes earlier, i finished off the last ones and wiped the kitchen counters
I opened the coat closet and will be going through that over the next few days trying to pare it down

Good morning! I am reveling in the last couple of comfortable days for a while, it's in the 60s right now, the high will only be 75! Friday it starts warming up, but I won't think about that right now. Last night at 1am I had to take the dog out and it was actually chilly at that hour, it felt so good! The dog had a bad night last night, so I did too.
And I'm starting the day with irritation because once again the garbage truck that just came by picked up both garbage and yard waste in the same truck.  At least they didn't pick up the recycling too, I only put that can out every few weeks after carefully packing it full to the top with my cut down cardboard so that would really be annoying to see all that go in with the garbage.
But I will concentrate on appreciating the cooler weather instead. And the fact that I'm decluttered and can start thinking about all the other projects I want to do.
I did sleep the extra hour til 7 so am just now eating breakfast.

Working from home today.
Woke up to a rainy morning - and I mean rain!! Right now the sun is out and the sky is blue. It might be a nice day after all.
I was going to take my parents to the local county fair today but we decided to go tomorrow. And now that my dad is in rehab - they wont let me take him unless I can find a wheelchair van and those are near impossible to find. So it will be me and my mom.
I met my dad's rehab doctor last night. Whew....ADHD much? he seems like a decent doctor but he was all over the board. I noticed he was using the conversation to watch my dad and how my dad interacted, responded etc.
OK - I got off to a great start this morning - workwise. I better keep going.....

Hello
I am in a sluggish state. Just kind of sad w DD gone.
I even let the dishes pile up but I am only eating sandwiches so not too many. I prefer not to cook on any day!
I have kept up w litter. Recycling and trash
Today I decided I have to snap out of it and get some stuff done.
Part is due to the fact that I am now sole person for demanding puppy. I am generally free for the first time in a day close to 9 pm and I am then in the crash mode.
Girlcat is holding her own. She is so feisty w pills. I have a cut and a little lump on my finger where she bit me last night. Hope we get a good system going. I tried putting them in those pill pockets and soft meat but no go. Tough little cat.
I am also in a super nonproductive mode at work. Just doing the basics.
Next
Make a list of afternoon work goals
Go home and check on puppy and cats

Good morning ohblondie and bree!
Now that I'm letting the dog tell me when to go out, I only encourage her to go out at 6am if she doesn't go out in the middle of the night. Last night she was out twice, at 10pm and at 1am, so I asked her this morning if she wanted to go out and she didn't move, which means, no. So after my last list I went downstairs and asked again, and she got right up from the bed. We went out, where it was cool and breezy until the sun came out from some clouds. I did the bird baths, did a little weeding, and brought the cans back from the street.
I checked on the pumpkin, it is still about 6 inches across but is starting to turn slightly orange instead of bright yellow. Also, one of the plants near the zucchini plant has finally grown something, another little (2 inch wide) green ball, so I assume this is another pumpkin plant! Nothing else growing from the three rogue squash plants, and finally one more tiny zucchini growing from my original plant.

I have food in my parents fridge and freezer. I decided I should cook two of the little frozen breakfast omelet sandwiches. I bit into one and it smelled terrible so they went straight into the trash. I think they have been in the fridge for a few years. So I guess I need to run and get lunch.

OK - the sun is out and it is bright and nice. But a bit breezy, almost like you can feel fall is in the air

Ohblondie, it's not feeling like fall here yet even though it was so cool this morning. There's definitely a specific feeling that does come at some point, although I couldn't describe exactly what the difference is. Also, the sky turns a brighter blue.

So here's the danger of getting my place uncluttered--I really do immediately feel free to start thinking of all other kinds of things I can do. Now I want to rearrange my reading room. I decided that reorganizing my greeting card/office supplies stuff is a big project so it'll have to be a goal for next month's challenge. But I've been sitting in there thinking of moving a few things around in there and making it even more of a project.
I stopped for lunch. The sun keeps going in and out, when it's behind the clouds a beautiful, cool breeze is coming in the back door, it just feels like so long since I could have that back door open during the day without having heat blasting in. It should make me energetic but I'm so sleepy.
I also have to decide if I'm walking to Walmart tomorrow, it's my last chance for at least a week.
