Good morning all!
I am enjoying my morning coffee before I have to get up and prepping for the new mattress.
DH will get old mattress and box spring outside before he goes to work
I have all day to clean and treat the bedroom area
When he gets home this evening, we will bring the new upstairs.
I had a most random thought overnight. my new mattress is much 'thicker" than my old one. It is 14 inches deep and I had to get sheets to accommodate that. So I guess that means all of my older sheets can be donated!!

Good morning ohblondie!
Thanks for starting the week off, lennon!
We have two days of very hot temps, both days with the possibility of storms. I don't want damaging storms, but it would be good to get the rain--both rain barrels are more than half empty. And, my roof repair is done so that's one worry off my mind.
I went out this morning to do some watering. I also put more of the paver sand between the stones in the new paver stone area and then watered it.
I talked to my shopping friend for an hour yesterday and she's calling me back this afternoon because she's feeling so depressed. After her fall, which just made her sore for a while, no additional injuries--they wanted her to do physical therapy, and after a 5 day week of therapy her bad knees hurt so much she could no longer stand up. So she said she couldn't do it any longer, and they said they would discharge her from PT as "not being willing to comply". Now she can't even get to the bathroom because she can't stand up--hopefully this is temporary from overworking her knees and she'll regain what she had before the therapy.

Mattress is out as is box spring. Had to cut the box spring up to get it out.
I am cleaning out under the bed. I thought I would see more evidence of our recent mouse problem but surprisingly not.
I found two magnifying mirrors. Time to pluck my chin hairs
I have vacuumed the floor once. I am keeping on tossing and will vac again

So I found 2 more rigs, one might be a decent ring, real gold. Countless pairs of glasses and $25.
On my 5th bag of trash. I am not sorting the trash, newspapers and magazines are going in the bag as well
As I have been tossing, I have only seen two bugs, one on the carpet and one in some papers
Ok, back at it

Why, why, why don't I ever find money while decluttering!  Or gold rings?
I'm going to clean out the seed pool since it's supposed to rain soon. And then I'll have lunch, and then it might be time for my phone call.

Good afternoon, everypony! Thanks for starting us off, lennon
Congratulations, ohblondie! That sounds like a milestone.
I am groggy this morning from a new antihistamine taken at night. Skipped going with DVD to his nutritionist. We got two new storage cabinets over the weekend at an estate sale nearby. DVD was able to walk them back on his dolly. Now the question is how to make best use of them. One of them will end up in the Tiki Room, but I'd like to use it as a smoothie station now. Need to reconfigure the kitchen a bit.
All the open loops are trashing up the house. I need to be judicious with my energy and attention. Or not! and just wing it, 
DONE: updated a challenge thread looked up where to buy a book for the book club ate
NEXT UP: take meds rest

Good afternoon scholar! What book are you reading for your book club?
I had a very long talk with my shopping friend again, she sounds a little better today and seemed to want to be distracted so we talked about all kinds of things.
It's still 85 degrees outside, so I really don't want to go outside, I will wait a little longer to see if I have to water anything. Our rain lasted, literally, maybe 1 to 2 minutes, then the sun came back out.  Another chance overnight and tomorrow.
Time for dinner.
Diane
