Subject: RE: Declutter & Fitness - Clearing Out the House
Finishing ripping some CDs to the computer to be loaded into the phone - audio books from the library. More often now these things are available for download but with the digital rights management (DRM) software to limit the listening to two weeks, which is more than a footrace with some longer books. Easier to make a copy that I listen to more leisurely. I don't keep them, they take up space.

I've finally added a few things to my NetFlix queue, and last night watched a couple. That new cooking program, Salt Fat Acid Heat is what lured me back to watch (the first episode so far) and look around for more programs. I go in spurts with my viewing there. I've also returned a couple of disks of programs that don't stream and can only be shared via multi-episode DVD. I also watched The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society—the movie is okay but the book is so much better.

It looks like the overcast may linger but the rain has cleared for a few days. Time to scramble and make the most of access to the lawn, giving it a day or two to dry out. (Right now the mower would press ruts into the lawn.)

I stacked eBay items on the kitchen counter to give each an exam and dust or clean, but now the counter is rather crowded. The dining table is much clearer and it's time to spread out fabric for cutting out patterns and deciding where I'm going to use the sewing machine, the crowded craft room or the soon-to-be-needed-for-holidays table in the dining area.
