Beaver:

Something seems to have de-cluttered my energy; I did my volunteer work of reading the newspaper on line for the sight impaired and left the building squinting. Something in the air... 2 hours later am in recovery and trying to re-boot!

Also trying to get tires changed for winter and "my guy" is BUSY! I will feel better when that is done. Love my car but it will not drive on any snow at all without snow tires. So I am feeling crippled, in a sense. NO, it has not snowed yet but there was a cover the other morning that would have precluded any trip out had it not melted.

Pottery thrown two days ago is over-dry so having to re-moisten AND push for energy to trim. Would love to throw more...

That "new" table sounds like a good idea, Maggie! Of course, it is always a temptation to clutter such a space! As R "disappeared" our K table! Such a good place to lay out piles of papers...

I am feeling good about improvements in clearing BR; not so much getting rid of but organizing better and even did a couple small projects to lighten the load. Stuffed the remains of 3 mohair sweaters under the same cabinet where I found the fringe from my mexican rug/wall hanging after the critters de-fringed it! If the want cosy...! Have a plan for the pieces of sweater I salvaged.

Under the heading of things not to de-clutter: when I left PA for the west coast I doubted the need for changing of tires and left the spare rims(and tires) with a friend for his son. I actually could have used snow tires on Whidbey! And it is cheaper/faster to have them changed if they are on rims! Now the car is 15 years old... Wonder if I could find some second hand... Pete keeps asking, "are they on rims?" Could have had it done by now if the were. And I would not be feeling kind of unable to keep on until this important task is complete.
