Good choice about the trim around the bottom edge. Some of that can look bad, putting in a new type may make the room look a lot tidier.

Cold wind blowing over the region today. My declutter activities include mailing back all of my NetFlix DVDs and sending a thank you card to a friend. Small space and weight-wise, but necessary. I've managed over the last few weeks to generally leave the kitchen looking uncluttered. There are a couple of ongoing projects on the kitchen counter, but small and soon finished. I have another stack of magazines to separate from their covers and then I think I'm finished with about four cubic feet of paper that I'm tired of looking at.

This evening I'll order new prisms for the chandelier and pull the boxes of the old rare ones out of the case and prepare to sell those individually.

My morning oatmeal was marvelous - the chopped dates I bought in bulk last week were used. They chop the fruit then use oat flour to keep them from sticking to each other, so there is nothing in my oatmeal but oats, salt, and dates. I've been researching sulfites - and found a site with information about organic wines that may have less (it naturally occurs in dates, but most vintners also add it) http://organicwinefind.com/. I think I'm entering the next phase of this dermatitis puzzle - finding suitable substitutions.
