Subject: RE: BS: De-cluttering - part two
Well, we are continuing the trend in our house of decluttering the bods, too. Just sent Rog off to get an early morning haircut. HE was up at 630a!! I *thought* because he was going to mow, early, but he really just took his time fixing breakfast and surfing the internet.:-) He'll mow when he gets back. That will also include putting stuff away which is scattered around the yard, including a few more items from my sister.

You are so right about writing down EVERYTHING we do, Maggie. When I was so sick, I used to talk to Night Owl every night. She'd ask me what I'd done that day; small victories were worth counting. I say "nothing" then we'd get to talking and I'd say that I'd done the dishes, or dusted or something. She'd point out to me that those things counted for a lot and I should give myself credit. From then on I kept a list and it really did help. I didn't have so much despair when I'd see what I had already done.

Today, I hope to figure out what we are going to do with all of the books and LPs from my sister AND go through the old glass bottles. Our dau. is having a yard sale but her partner didn't want to get stuff mixed up so we will have one separately, later on, unless we decide to just donate it all to the Goodwill or something. Then it's out of here FAST!:-)

My office closet has been "calling" me all week. I really want to clear it out. Oh, R-o-g!
