Keberoxu: great to hear of your successful decluttering project, must feel good to get one area done and dealt with, and glad you found good people to help!

Thanks Stilly. I will watch for ant trails and holes, so far that has not been obvious but I'm sure I'll find it as the weeding continues.

Re fire ants: I once saw a beautiful sculpture at a gem and mineral show; like an ornate ming tree made of metal. Some desperate plumber with access to lead-melting tools had decided to dispatch his fire ants by pouring hot lead into their branching tunnels. Very pretty result.

Meanwhile, apent some time organizing the clothes where I can find everything, also the upper kitchen cabinets. The lower are a challenge, there is one huge undivided space to be subdivided, but I have a stash of empty bins and things that may help.

Lists, yes I have lots of lists, but what helps the most is journaling my efforts, it helps prompt solutions and cultivate habits, and it is a litte more satisfying than crossing off words on a list. Which journaling I know several of you do here on the thread, but I would bore you to tears with all the details, so into the journal most of it goes.
