I forgot to mention that I did a fair amount of yard work yesterday before we started the work on moving and picking up stoves. I weeded the new asparagus bed and mowed the front lawn. The longest set of soaker hoses has been pulled for the winter. I can feel it today a bit, the slightly sore muscles after the bending and mowing activity.

This probably wasn't the last mow of the season, but soon the garden will be completely finished and my evenings will be spent processing veggie stuff - tomorrow I need to finish a lot of picking, it's getting cold late in the week.

This morning I hunkered down in the back bathroom and finally took apart the dripping fitting on the little pipe that runs from the wall to the toilet tank. I cleaned out the threads, used some Teflon tape, and when I was ready to leave the house I looked in and it seemed to be working. Even avoiding a plumber call it was an expensive weekend, but an extremely productive one, all things considered! None of this is technically decluttering because nothing left, or if it did it was replaced. But it is a better operating house today.
